PHP Developer | Web Hosting Team

Your role at HostingerWe're looking for a Backend Developer to join our Hosting team — the engineers building how websites are created, deployed, and run on Hostinger.

We power 10 million+ websites, and we're rebuilding hosting for the AI era. That means 1-click installs, instant deploys, and workflows where AI handles the setup and operations users used to do by hand.

You'll design and maintain the backend systems and APIs behind this. The challenges are real: high request volumes, long-running operations, and APIs that stay fast and predictable as we add more automation.

You'll work closely with the front-end team and other stakeholders to ship features end-to-end.
