Senior System Deployment Engineer

Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced Senior System Deployment to join our team. The ideal candidate will be responsible for the deployment, configuration, testing, recovery, and ongoing support of mission-critical airline and airport applications across Windows and Linux environments.

The role covers the complete lifecycle of application infrastructure, including server staging, OS installation, VM provisioning, application deployment, database configuration, high-availability and failover testing, disaster recovery, and production transition.

A key responsibility is providing critical second-level/third-level technical support for major incidents, including the ability to recover and rebuild corrupted virtual machines, operating systems, databases, and application environments from scratch using available backups, recovery media, infrastructure templates, and documented recovery procedures.

The engineer will work across Windows Server, Red Hat Linux, VMware, Hyper-V, AWS Cloud, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Kafka, MongoDB, OpenShift, and related infrastructure technologies, supporting highly available and operationally critical airport systems.

o Recreating virtual machines.

o Reinstalling operating systems.

o Applying required OS configuration and security hardening.

o Restoring application components and services.

o Reconfiguring network, storage, DNS, certificates, and connectivity.

o Restoring application configuration and validating dependencies.

• Recover corrupted or failed servers using available VM backups, snapshots, images, templates, backup repositories, or DR infrastructure.
• Perform complete application environment restoration when the original server/VM cannot be recovered.
• Work with infrastructure, backup, network, database, security, and application teams during major recovery activities.
• Conduct post-recovery validation and ensure systems are returned to operational readiness.

3. Database Recovery & Restoration

• Support SQL Server and PostgreSQL environments supporting mission-critical applications.
• Troubleshoot database corruption, service failures, connectivity issues, performance issues, and abnormal database behavior.
• Perform or coordinate database restoration from backup following database corruption or infrastructure failure.
• Restore databases from full, differential, transaction-log, WAL, or other applicable backup mechanisms.
• Rebuild database servers when required, including:

o OS and VM restoration.

o Database software installation.

o Database configuration.

o Storage and permissions configuration.

o Database restoration.

o User, role, service account, and connectivity configuration.

o Application reconnection and validation.

• Validate database integrity following restoration.

5. High Availability, Failover & Disaster Recovery

• Design, execute, and document server, application, database, and VM failover testing.
• Conduct planned and unplanned failover exercises.
• Validate application recovery following infrastructure or database failures.
• Perform DR restoration and recovery testing.
• Validate RPO and RTO against operational requirements.
• Test recovery procedures for complete server/VM loss and database corruption scenarios.
• Identify recovery gaps and recommend improvements to HA/DR architecture.
• Maintain detailed recovery procedures and runbooks.

6. FAT, UAT & Production Validation

• Plan and execute Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and User Acceptance Testing (UAT).
• Perform technical validation before applications are transitioned into production.
• Validate server, application, database, network, security, and infrastructure dependencies.
• Conduct failover, recovery, performance, and resilience testing.
