Infrastructure Engineer

Infrastructure Engineer — Windows / SQL / Automation

About Host Hotel Systems

Host Hotel Systems is the largest technology provider for the hospitality sector in Portugal, supporting hotel and property clients. We're modernizing how we run infrastructure — moving from manual, point-and-click administration toward git, PR review, runbooks, and Ansible — and we're building a small team that owns that shift end to end.

Location & working pattern

Based out of any Host office — Algarve, Lisbon, Torres Vedras, or Braga — 4 days/week on site. Most client work is performed remotely.

The role

A hands-on infrastructure engineer on a small team running Windows/SQL Server fleets for hotel properties across a private virtual data center and client on-premises environments. You'll deploy and migrate client servers, keep backups and monitoring honest, automate the repeatable work — and share in running our Microsoft 365 estate and internal IT.

Roughly two-thirds of the role is client infrastructure; about a third is Microsoft 365 administration and internal IT support.

What you'll do:

Client infrastructure (~70%)

• Install and migrate client environments — Windows Server, SQL Server, IIS, and the Host stack — on schedule and documented.
• Configure and verify backups; deploy monitoring and access agents.
• Automate with PowerShell and Ansible. All changes go through git with PR review — we'll teach the workflow.
• Write and maintain runbooks for anything repeatable.
• Coordinate with hotel property contacts during installations and migrations.
• Join the on-call rotation (compensated per contract terms).

Microsoft 365 & internal IT (~30%)

• Administer our Microsoft 365 tenant — Exchange Online, Entra ID, user and license lifecycle — and help drive the Intune/endpoint rollout.
• Provide internal IT support: troubleshoot, fix, and where it makes sense, automate the recurring work.

Must have

• Solid Windows Server administration.
• PowerShell aptitude — you can read and adapt scripts, and have written some. We'll grow this.
• SQL Server fundamentals: install, configure, backup/restore.
• Microsoft 365 administration experience (tenant-level, not just end-user).
• Networking basics.
• Portuguese and English.
• Able to work 4 days/week from one of our offices.

Strong plus

• Ansible, or any infrastructure-as-code.
• Monitoring experience or interest — there's an ownership lane open.
• Intune / Autopilot / endpoint management.
• AZ-900-level Azure.
• Tailscale / WireGuard.
• Hospitality or PMS background.

What we offer

• A team mid-modernization — git, PRs, runbooks, Ansible — with real ownership early.
• A funded training path: Azure certifications, Red Hat Ansible courses, books.
• An active ISO 27001 programme to be part of.
• 23 vacation days per year, and a benefits package including health insurance.

Salary range for this position is €20,000 – €25,000 gross per year, aligned with experience and technical expertise.
