YOUR ROLE AT HOSTINGER

We’re looking for a System Engineer to help us solve real engineering challenges, keep our systems reliable, and build the foundation that powers millions of websites around the world.

You’ll work alongside other system, software, and network engineers - people who care deeply about performance, simplicity, and resilience. Together, you’ll design, run, and evolve systems that don’t just work, but stay fast and dependable under pressure.

This isn’t a role where you follow playbooks - you’ll write them. You’ll dig into the details, automate what slows us down, and share what you learn so the whole team gets stronger.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and implement new features that make our hosting platform faster, more reliable, and easier to scale.
• Deploy and run infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code and automation, because manual work doesn’t scale, and neither do shortcuts.
• Operate and observe systems through real metrics: availability, latency, performance, capacity, reliability - understanding the “why” behind every graph.
• Refine and tune systems to eliminate bottlenecks, simplify complexity, and improve reliability without adding overhead.
• Improve monitoring and alerting, aiming to catch symptoms before they turn into outages.
• Share knowledge with other engineers - guiding, reviewing, and helping raise the bar for how we build and maintain reliable systems.

Requirements

WHAT WILL HELP YOU SUCCEED

• Strong Linux OS experience (3+ years).
• Ansible proficiency - you trust automation, and know how to do it right.
• Programming or scripting skills in Python or Go (bonus if both).
• Experience managing and optimizing web servers, databases, and caching systems.
• Familiarity with cloud environments like GCP (or similar).
• Solid grasp of networking fundamentals - DNS, TCP/IP, HTTP.
• Experience applying Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles and tools.

Nice to have

• Experience with DevOps practices and open-source contributions.
• Familiarity with CI/CD concepts and tools beyond GitHub Actions.
• Ability to read and understand Go and PHP code.
• Certifications like RHCSA or RHCE.
• We’re always looking for experienced talent to raise the bar. If you’re excited about the role but the listed salary range doesn’t align with your expectations, we still encourage you to apply - we’re open to adjusting compensation based on the impact and value you bring.
• Get ready to take your personal and professional growth to new heights! Join Hostinger today and be part of our journey 🚀
• Three. Two. Onboard

Why this seat exists

The $20 a month that nearly every AI product charges came out of a Google Form survey in OpenAI's Discord. Its purpose was to turn demand away, not to make money. The industry copied it anyway; now OpenAI calls its own pricing model accidental.

We have copied our share of numbers too. What we want now is to work out what our own products are worth based on evidence. We want to be a smarter company, decision after decision, across more than five million existing customers and millions of potential ones.
