The role

🚀 We're Hiring: Application Operations Engineer (AppOps & Identity)

🌟 About the Role

We're looking for a proactive and technically skilled Application Operations Engineer to join our growing Tech team.

This is not a traditional support role. You'll be at the heart of our transition from Application Support to modern Application Operations (AppOps) - owning application reliability, driving automation, and ensuring our systems run smoothly at scale.

A key part of this role is Identity & Access Management, where you'll leverage Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) to deliver secure, automated, and scalable access to business-critical applications.

If you enjoy solving complex problems, automating processes, and working across teams to improve systems end-to-end - this role is for you.

Take ownership of the availability, performance, and stability of key business applications

🚨 Lead Incident & Problem Management

Act as a key owner in application incident management (Tier 2/3)
Troubleshoot complex issues and perform root cause analysis
Drive post-incident reviews and continuous improvements
Collaborate with development, infrastructure, and external vendors

👁️ Build Monitoring & Observability

Configure and improve monitoring, alerting, and logging
Tune alerts to reduce noise and improve signal quality
Identify trends and risks early using data and metrics

🔐 Drive Identity & Access Management (Entra ID)

Manage user provisioning and deprovisioning across applications
Implement role-based access control (RBAC) and access governance
Work with:
Access packages & entitlement management
Privileged Identity Management (PIM)
Automated joiner/mover/leaver (JML) workflows
Ensure least privilege and zero-trust principles are enforced
Support audits, access reviews, and compliance initiatives

⚙️ Automate & Improve

Identify repetitive tasks and automate operational processes
Improve monitoring, deployments, and recovery procedures
Contribute to reducing incidents and improving system resilience

🤝 Collaborate Across Teams

Act as a bridge between business, development, infrastructure, and security teams
Provide feedback to improve application design and operability

How you'll work

📍 Location: Fuengirola or Málaga, Spain (Hybrid- Visiting the Fuengirola CS Hub 3x days a week)
🧑💻 Department: Tech / Application Operations

What Success Looks Like

Applications are stable, monitored, and proactively managed
Incidents are reduced and resolved faster
Access is automated, secure, and audit-compliant
