Careers

Build the cloud you wish you'd had.

240 people across 22 countries. Profitable, founder-led, never raised a down round. Hiring across engineering, product, support and ops.

Why HostEngine

A small company that ships a big platform.

We've stayed deliberately small — 240 people running 14 regions and 2.6M workloads. That means everyone owns something real. Your name shows up on the changelog.

Truly remote

Work from any of 22 supported countries. Two in-person off-sites a year, on us.

Equity for everyone

Every full-time hire receives meaningful equity with a 10-year exercise window.

Pager pay

On-call rotations are paid hourly on top of salary. Ops weeks count toward sabbatical.

60-day onboarding

A two-month buddy + mentor program. No one gets put on shift until they say they're ready.

Learning budget

$3,000 annual stipend for books, courses, conferences. We pay for whatever helps you ship better.

Healthcare + family

Top-tier private healthcare, generous parental leave (16 weeks all genders), $5k home-office allowance.
