Your role at Hostinger
We're looking for a Backend Developer to join our Email team — the engineers behind one of the most enduring and underrated technologies in computing.
Email has powered communication for 50 years and it's not going anywhere. What is changing is the scale: our systems support 10 million+ mailboxes and handle massive request volumes every second. That's not a standard CRUD problem — it's distributed systems engineering with real consequences.
You'll design and maintain the APIs and backend services that keep those mailboxes running, working closely with the front-end team and other stakeholders to deliver a seamless experience.
