IT Infrastructure & Systems Engineer

Location: Barcelona, Spain

The Cloud & Infrastructure department is responsible for the core technology backbone that powers our SCADA and DataLayer ecosystem. We design, build, and operate the foundational platforms that keep thousands of renewable plants reliable, secure, and scalable.

Our team covers the full spectrum of infrastructure—from cloud services to on‑premise systems—but this role will join the On‑Premise Engineering group, the unit that ensures the performance, availability, and automation of the platforms deployed physically across our global fleet of sites.

 

About the role:

We are looking for an IT Infrastructure Systems Engineer to help evolve and modernize the on‑premise infrastructure powering Horizon, our SCADA and DataLayer ecosystem. Most of our systems run on physical and virtual servers hosted in‑house, and we are actively transitioning them toward Infrastructure‑as‑Code, automated provisioning, and new hardware platforms.

Your primary responsibility will be to maintain and improve our current infrastructure, redefine our automated SCADA deployment pipeline, and support the reliability of our internal DataLayer services. The role is highly hands‑on, with a strong focus on OS lifecycle, virtualization, observability, deployment tooling, and hardware/firmware management.

This is not a cloud‑native or Kubernetes‑focused SRE position. While we use some cloud services, the core of your work revolves around Windows Server and Linux infrastructure, PowerShell‑driven automation, Hyper‑V and Proxmox virtualization, and the modernization of our deployment workflows.

 

Key Responsibilities:

• Optimize & Maintain Infrastructure – Manage and improve on-premise servers, virtualization, storage, networking, and OS lifecycle.
• Deployment Automation – Redesign and maintain automated SCADA deployment pipelines using TFS/Azure DevOps Server and PowerShell.
• Virtualization & On-Prem Platforms – Operate Hyper-V and Proxmox environments, maintaining VM templates, golden images, and provisioning flows.
• Observability & Monitoring – Maintain and extend monitoring with Grafana, Prometheus, WMI, and native OS integrations to improve operational reliability.
• Internal Tools & DataLayer Support – Develop scripts and small utilities in PowerShell (or Python/Go/C when needed) to support internal services.
• Lifecycle, Security & Reliability – Manage OS hardening, patching, firmware, BIOS provisioning, and maintain operational runbooks and troubleshooting guides.
