**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.**
