Shield is a global startup, with offices in Tel-Aviv, New-York, London, and Lisbon. 

We’re growing and looking for another important piece of the puzzle. 

Is it you? 

As an experienced Technical Support Engineer you will act as the first point of contact for any question raised by Shield customers, as well as proactively monitoring systems. You’ll be part of a technical team solving complex issues, working with bleeding edge technology, and keeping our customers satisfied and informed. This position is based in Lisbon and we operate on a hybrid model (2 days at the office/3 days remote).

We can’t promise it will be easy, you’ll need to be hands-on and proactive, but it will definitely be exciting and most importantly – FUN.

  • Respond to customer technical support requests via phone, email, and ticketing system (Zendesk) in a timely and professional manner.
  • Proactively diagnose and resolve complex technical issues related to software, and application problems.
  • Escalate and communicate issues to R&D when necessary.
  • Document all customer interactions and solutions in a ticketing system for tracking and follow-up as well as help document processes, how-tos, etc.
  • Work closely with other teams such as product, R&D, and operations to ensure customer issues are resolved promptly and effectively.
  • Participate in on-call rotation and provide after-hours support as needed.

Experience and skills: 

  • 2+ years of experience as a technical support engineer – MUST.
  • Knowledge of Windows and/or Linux operating systems.
  • Basic experience with Kubernetes, Elasticsearch, AWS, and MySQL.
  • Understanding system and data flows.
  • Experience handling support tickets for complex software applications.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts.
  • Ability to multitask and prioritize effectively in a fast-paced environment.
  • Ability to work independently, proactively and as part of a team.
  • Familiarity with ticketing systems (Zendesk) – Advantage.
