Great work starts with people who feel good. At Ilkari, we want you to thrive, which is why flexibility, wellbeing and a healthy rhythm between focus and downtime are part of everyday life.
We respect your time, encourage breaks and value what matters to you beyond work. Whether it’s family, self-care or joining our sports and social activities, balance isn’t an afterthought – it’s built into how we work.
Be yourself

We’re one global team – open, respectful, and stronger because we’re different. From Dublin to Bogotá to Málaga, we connect across two continents, and countless nationalities and languages.
You’ll collaborate with talented people who bring diverse perspectives and share one goal: building something extraordinary together. It’s fast-paced, ever-evolving, and built on trust – because we grow best when everyone belongs.

Feel the energy
Feel the energy
There’s a real buzz at Ilkari. We work hard, but not at the expense of enjoying the journey together – from after-work drinks and team lunches to office celebrations and company events.
Our days are filled with collaboration, shared wins and plenty of laughter too. What makes it special is the people: friendly, down-to-earth colleagues who support one another and create an atmosphere that feels more community than workplace.
Ilkarian voices
I transitioned from SysAdmin to DevOps 13 years ago, embracing modern automation (Kubernetes, GitOps, Terraform). While passionate about pipelines, I missed the lower-level infrastructure work. At Ilkari, I found the perfect balance. I get to build our Cloud Platform as a DevOps Engineer, while also driving automated software deployments. Here, I don’t have to choose. I do what I love and get the best of both worlds.
Angel Senior DevOps Engineer, Málaga
As the Director of Strategic Programmes at Ilkari, I lead a team of project & programme managers who deliver a variety of complex projects & programmes. We thrive on collaborating with diverse individuals across the company. Each day, my colleagues inspire me with their skills and unique perspectives. Together, we foster a culture of empathy and resilience, where every voice is valued, and innovative solutions emerge from our collective strengths.
Sasha Director of Strategic Programmes, London
At Ilkari, I have had the opportunity to develop my technical and leadership skills by participating in the management of different teams, where what really matters is knowledge and attitude, not a degree or gender. It is a company where every day you are encouraged to grow, contribute, and give your best. Without a doubt, it is an excellent place to work.
Claudia TOC Manager, Tocancipá
My time at Ilkari has been amazing so far! The onboarding process made me feel welcomed and confident from day one. I’ve learned a lot in just a few months and truly enjoy working with such talented and supportive people. Ilkari’s culture encourages growth, creativity, and collaboration; it’s been a fantastic start to my journey here!
Salvador DevOps Engineer, Málaga
Unmatched. What keeps me at Ilkari is trust, growth and the freedom to bring a startup mindset to a place where people truly come first. I joined as a Senior TA & Development Specialist in Spain and now, months and thousands of km later, I’m based in Colombia leading our local People team and the global TA function. Working with such top talent pushes me to level up every single day
Pablo People Lead, Tocancipá
From day one at Ilkari, I felt welcomed and supported by everyone around me. I have met many Ilkarians that, in a short amount of time, became my friends. As an L&D Specialist, I was really happy to discover how much our leaders cared about the learning and development of Ilkarians. I love how people here are so passionate about their job, how they strive for excellence while still being humble, how we all aim for inclusivity and a “one team” spirit, how our COO brings banana cake to the office sometimes, and how we approach each other with respect and care.
Ribana Learning & Development Specialist, Málaga
Working at Ilkari has shown me how much I value collaboration and creativity. From the start, I’ve felt encouraged to share ideas and take ownership of my work. The trust and openness within the team make even tough projects feel meaningful. Having the flexibility to manage my time has helped me stay energized and balanced, both at work and in life.
Ivan Business Process Lead, Málaga
Ilkari feels like good craftsmanship, with good people. My job is to help turn needs into safe, simple wins on our sovereign cloud. The culture is clear, respectful, and steady. No hype, just care and follow-through. I’m thankful for the trust, the learning, and the shared wins.
