Job description

We are looking for an IT Application Specialist with a strong foundation in system administration.

Database Administration Manage SQL databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL), including backups, access rights, and day-to-day queries. This is not a dedicated DBA role, but confidence maintaining and querying databases is expected. Identity & Access Management Manage user identities and permissions through Active Directory, Azure AD/Entra ID, LDAP, and SSO. Enforce RBAC policies, manage groups, and conduct access reviews and audits. Data Handling & Reporting Handle data exports, basic ETL tasks, and reporting needs using Power BI or equivalent tools to support business operations. User Support Provide support for users and business applications. Manage tickets and requests through tools such as GLPI or Odoo. Security & Monitoring Monitor services, respond to incidents, apply security patches, and track vulnerabilities across the environment. Documentation Maintain up-to-date technical documentation, procedures, application catalogues (licences, versions, dependencies), and asset inventories., This role has a direct impact on how the company operates and scales. You will work closely with teams across the organisation and contribute to building a reliable, secure, and scalable IT environment that supports H55's growth. We are building a team with a range of backgrounds and perspectives, and we value people who bring different ways of thinking and working. If this role interests you but you do not meet every requirement, we encourage you to apply.

Requirements

  • CFC, Bachelor's degree in IT, or equivalent qualification
  • 3+ years of experience in a similar role
  • Relevant certifications are a plus, including:
  • ITIL
  • Microsoft AZ-104
  • Linux LPIC-1

Technical Skills

  • Experience deploying and maintaining on-premise and SaaS applications throughout their lifecycle
  • Working knowledge of SQL databases, including backups, rights management, and basic queries
  • Familiarity with identity management technologies such as Active Directory, Azure AD/Entra ID, LDAP, and SSO

  • Experience with Odoo or similar ERP/business applications is an asset
  • Working knowledge of Linux and Windows Server environments, including installation, configuration, and troubleshooting
  • Understanding of web services infrastructure, including reverse proxies, SSL certificates, and API integrations

How You Work

  • Comfortable finding answers independently, reading technical documentation, and learning new technologies as the environment evolves
  • Service-oriented, with clear communication toward non-technical users
  • Strong documentation discipline: knowledge should remain documented and traceable within systems and procedures
  • Able to manage priorities and handle multiple workstreams within a small team environment
  • Structured, reliable, and attentive to operational detail
