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** We're looking for an **Engineering Manager** to lead a high-performing infrastructure team that powers the web hosting products used by millions of customers worldwide. You'll help us solve real engineering challenges, keep our systems reliable, and build the foundation that powers millions of websites around the world. You'll manage a small, senior team of engineers working across DevOps tooling and automation, self-hosted (Proxmox/bare-metal) platform infrastructure, and a GCP-hosted product footprint - and you'll work alongside other system, software, and network engineers 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 balance technical execution with people leadership, dig into the details, automate what slows us down and share what you learn so the whole team gets stronger. **Curious to learn more?
