Engineering Manager (SRE) | Based in Lithuania

Job description

## **Join the team building an AI-first company.** Hostinger serves more than 5.5 million clients across 150 countries, but we're still excited about what we're creating next. AI is changing how we build products, support customers, work together, and solve problems. It helps us move faster, spend less time on repetitive work, and focus on bigger ideas. **If you want your work to influence both what we build and how we build it, we'd like to meet you.** **Our culture:** Guided by [**10 company principles**](https://www.hostinger.com/principles) ## **Your role at Hostinger** Join Hostinger's Infrastructure team and help us power the web hosting products used by millions of customers worldwide. As **Engineering Manager (SRE)**, you'll lead a high-performing team working across DevOps tooling and automation, self-hosted (Proxmox/bare-metal) platform infrastructure, and a GCP-hosted product footprint - solving real engineering challenges, designing, running, and evolving 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, balancing technical execution with people leadership as you dig into the details, automate what slows the team down, and share what you learn so everyone gets stronger. **Curious to learn more? Connect with your team:** [Eimantas Šerpenskas, Head of Web Hosting](https://www.linkedin.com/in/eserpenskas/) ## **Your day-to-day** - Lead and support a team of experienced engineers through regular 1:1s, goal setting, and day-to-day collaboration. - Contribute hands-on to infrastructure work - whether that's DevOps tooling, automation, platform reliability, or cloud infrastructure on GCP - covering the area where you bring the most value. - Own prioritization for the team: translate business needs into technical goals, help define quarterly focus areas, and make sure the team is working on what matters most. - Identify and resolve gaps - whether that's missing coverage, a reliability risk, a skill area to develop, or a process that's slowing the team down. - Help lead incident response and keep the team's systems dependable under pressure. - Collaborate closely with software engineers, product managers, and other engineering managers. - Share knowledge with your team - guiding, reviewing, and helping raise the bar for how we build and maintain reliable systems. ## **What will help you succeed** - Proven people management experience - you've led a team of experienced engineers before and are comfortable with 1:1s, feedback, performance, and team development. - Solid technical background in DevOps or infrastructure engineering, with a strong automation mindset and a genuine understanding of how systems work. - Hands-on experience with public cloud environments - any major cloud is fine, as the fundamentals transfer (direct experience with GCP is a plus). - Comfort with self-hosted / bare-metal infrastructure and virtualization. - Experience operating infrastructure at scale. - Programming or scripting knowledge - you don't need to be a software engineer, but you should be comfortable reading, reviewing, and writing code as part of your work. - Strong English communication skills. - Bonus: an infrastructure security mindset (secrets management, hardening, compliance). ## **Meet your team** Meet the team The team owns the management infrastructure behind Hostinger's web hosting products — the systems that keep hosting running for millions of customers. That includes the GCP environment those products run on (Compute Engine, Cloud SQL, GKE), the automation around it, and backup and disaster-recovery capability the business depends on when something goes wrong. You'd join a small infrastructure group and work most closely with the engineers on that team, reporting to the Head of Web Hosting Infra. Day to day you'd also partner with a peer Engineering Manager leading the neighbouring SRE team, with CloudOps on deeper cloud and infrastructure-as-code work, with software engineering and product on what we ship, and with the sysadmin teams in Lithuania, Brazil and Indonesia who operate the fleet and share incident response with us. We collaborate through code review, shared incident response and close loops across Web Hosting — the goal is infrastructure that stays dependable under pressure, and recovery paths that are proven before we need them. ## **Benefits you’ll love** **🚀 360 Growth:** We provide [limitless learning opportunities](https://www.hostinger.com/blog/learning-culture/): access to platforms like Reforge and CoachHub, global conferences, physical and digital libraries, [feedback culture](https://www.hostinger.com/blog/reaching-your-peak/), and mentoring through [TesoXchange](https://tesoxchange.com/).
