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.

You’ll work hands-on with Linux networking, BGP, peering, automation, observability, and DDoS protection, while learning how large-scale production networks are built and operated.

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

- Use Python, Ansible and NetBox to help automate routine work and keep network information organized.

WHAT WILL HELP YOU SUCCEED

- A strong willingness to learn - there will be a lot to learn, and we do not expect you to know everything from day one.

- Confidence to ask questions when something is unclear instead of being afraid to speak up.

- A collaborative mindset and willingness to work closely with the rest of the team.

- A problem-solving mindset - willingness to investigate, test, and understand the root cause instead of only fixing the symptom.
