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.
