Senior System Administrator – Backup & Recovery (Veeam + SQL Server)

German tech consultancy — 100% remote from Spain

⚠️ To save you the read: if you're not strong in Veeam and Microsoft SQL Server, or you're not comfortable working in English every day, this one isn't for you. If all three are part of your daily work, keep reading.

There are days in the year when the whole business depends on the backups having been done properly. We're looking for the person who makes sure those days pass without incident: a Senior System Administrator – Backup & Recovery to join a growing tech consultancy with its own product, international clients and more than 15 years behind it. You'll work alongside another senior profile, in a hybrid and distributed environment, with real technical ownership from day one.

🧰 Veeam · Microsoft SQL Server · VMware · Windows Server · Linux · Active Directory / AD tiering · Disaster Recovery · 10+ years

📍 Location: Remote from anywhere in Spain, with occasional travel to our office in Jerez de la Frontera (good rail or air connections are a plus).
📄 Contract: Permanent, full-time from day one.
💶 Salary: €40,000 – €50,000 gross per year, depending on experience.

🛠️ What you'll do

• Operate, secure and continuously evolve the global backup, recovery and archiving infrastructure using Veeam Backup & Replication.

• Administer and protect Microsoft SQL Server databases in distributed and clustered environments: backups, point-in-time restores and high availability.

• Monitor backup execution, analyse incidents and perform data recovery when required.

• Define and manage data retention, compliance and protection policies.

• Plan, execute and document Disaster Recovery tests (on-premise and cloud), including stakeholder reporting.

• Experience with critical infrastructure, data protection and high-security environments.

• Command of Active Directory tiering and hardening of Windows and Linux systems.

• Experience in virtualisation, particularly VMware.

• An analytical, methodical and structured way of working.

• Fluent English (mandatory): it's the working language day to day, with the team and with the German parent company. German is a plus.

• Availability for occasional travel to the Jerez office (onboarding, project kick-offs and team gatherings).
