Deployments Support & Automation Engineer
Amadeus · Lisbon
Job Title
Summary
The Deployments Support & Automation Engineer supports the deployment of releases for our Self-Service products, such as Kiosks and Auto Bag Drops. Releases are built by a dedicated R&D team; this role takes those releases and deploys them safely into customer environments across frontend, middleware and backend components.
Around 70% of the role is deployments and the change management that goes with them, from receiving the request through to implementation. The remaining 30% is automation: alerting, monitoring and deployment scripts that make deployments faster and more reliable.

- Roll back deployments when needed and work with R&D to resolve deployment issues.
- Coordinate deployment windows with customers, sites and internal teams, including out-of-hours where required.
- Keep deployment runbooks and documentation up to date and hand over knowledge to support teams.
Change Management and Admin
- Receive and work through requests (RITMs) from customers and internal teams.
- Prepare change requests (CRs), including implementation, test and rollback plans.
- Review change requests raised by other engineers for quality and completeness.
- Implement approved changes and close them off with the right records.
- Handle change and admin work on behalf of other engineers so they can stay focused on technical delivery.
Automation (30%)
- Build and tune monitoring and alerting for Self-Service products.
- Write and maintain deployment scripts and pipelines to make deployments consistent and repeatable.
- Automate routine operational tasks and reduce manual effort.
Support and Troubleshooting
- Troubleshoot deployment and production issues and resolve them or escalate to R&D.
- Support high severity incidents and be available on the standby roster.
- Assist with environment setup for new projects, including AWS infrastructure and deployment pipelines.
About the Ideal Candidate
- 2 to 5 years' experience in deployment, DevOps/SRE/Platform or application support.
- Experience deploying and supporting applications in production environments.
- Good understanding of change management (ITIL) and working with RITMs and change requests.
- Scripting skills (PowerShell & Python) for automation and deployments.
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines, monitoring and alerting.
- Experience with AWS and Windows and Linux environments.
- Kubernetes experience is a strong advantage.
