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 As a Junior Network Engineer, you’ll help operate and grow Hostinger’s global network of nearly 1,000 network devices across data centers worldwide.

We automate repetitive work, avoid manual configuration where possible, and focus on building a network that is reliable, scalable, and easy to operate. Curious to learn more?
