Junior DevOps Engineer – Operations Team

We’re looking for a Junior DevOps Engineer to join our Operations Team .

What this role involves

On the front lines of a busy web hosting company, a wide range of skills are required. The nature of our company means we are looking for candidates with strong programming and systems development skills, not just operations aptitude. You won’t just be expected to code – you’ll put those skills to use regularly. From automating workflows and building internal tools to debugging complex infrastructure issues and contributing to improvements across our systems, your development skills will play a crucial part in how we work and solve problems.

You’ll actively engage with real people and real problems. That means working directly with customers to solve hosting and infrastructure challenges, troubleshooting issues related to servers, networking, and performance, and diving deep into Linux environments and cloud platforms. Along the way, you’ll be exposed to a broad set of open‑source tools and technologies, collaborating closely with experienced DevOps engineers and learning from a talented and supportive team.

Who we’re looking for

This is a junior role, so we don’t expect you to know everything – but you should have a solid technical foundation and a strong desire to learn and grow. We’re after someone who’s hands‑on, curious, and confident writing code to solve real‑world problems.

We think you’re a great fit if you have :

• a solid technical foundation and thirst for learning
• some experience with scripting or programming (e.g., PHP, Python, Go, or similar)
• a basic understanding of Linux and command‑line tools
• a genuine interest in infrastructure, DevOps, and automation
• a team‑oriented mindset – proactive, eager to ask questions, and happy to help others

It’s important to us that every role in the company lets people deepen their knowledge and skills. As any growing company does, we have challenges to overcome but we approach those with care. You can expect us to be supportive, flexible and fair and we’ll expect you to take initiative, step up to a challenge and pursue personal growth in a healthy way.

You can expect excellent remuneration. We’re serious about making your work rewarding and helping you get better at what you enjoy doing. Because we want SiteHost people to commit for the long term, keeping you happy is vital to both our success and yours.
