Help us make the internet a safer place.

The digital world faces a constant storm of evolving cyber threats, and IT professionals are on the front lines, defending their organizations’ most valuable assets against increasingly sophisticated attacks. At Link11, one of Europe’s leading providers of cybersecurity solutions, we know that pressure well. We protect companies and public authorities through meticulous attention to detail and the early adoption of cutting-edge methods, and we take full responsibility for our customers’ security.

Our market reputation is built on enterprise-grade cybersecurity that keeps IT networks and critical applications safe, so our customers can focus on their core business. With AI-driven technology and patented DDoS protection, and a portfolio spanning Network DDoS Protection, WAAP, Secure CDN and Secure DNS, we are constantly finding new and better ways to strengthen their defenses.

Above all, we are a team of passionate people united by one mission: to make the internet a safer place. More than 100 colleagues work across our international locations, including Frankfurt, Lisbon, Tel Aviv and Vancouver, many of them fully remote. Are you highly motivated and looking for a challenging, rewarding role where you can truly make a difference? Then you are very welcome at Link11. Shape our digital future with us.

Your future challenges.

We’re currently building a brand-new EU Support Center in Lisbon – our future hub for technical customer support across Europe. Our goal is to deliver fast, high-quality support across time zones while staying true to what defines Link11: transparency, collaboration, and a strong customer-first mindset.

By joining now, you’ll be part of the Lisbon team from day one. That means you won’t just step into a role—you’ll actively help shape how the team works, grows, and succeeds.

You love solving problems and staying calm when things get critical? As a Customer Support Engineer at Link11, you are the go-to person when our customers face security incidents, service disruptions, or tricky configurations.

Working in a tiered support model (T1/T2), you handle everything from first response and customer communication to deep technical investigation – right at the frontline of cybersecurity.

• Be the first responder when customers need help – via tickets, calls, or live troubleshooting
• Detect and analyze incidents like DDoS attacks in real time using monitoring dashboards
• Solve technical issues across DDoS protection, WAAP, DNS, and CDN services
• Turn complex technical situations into clear, confident communication
• Build trusted relationships and guide customers through critical moments
• Capture knowledge, document solutions, and continuously improve how we support

As a T2 Engineer, you will also:

• Dive deep into complex incidents and attack analysis
• Work closely with Engineering and Operations on escalations
• Support onboarding, configurations, and advanced troubleshooting

Your skills.

• Very good written and spoken German and English are required; Portuguese is a plus
• You’re curious, self-driven, and eager to learn new technologies
• You have 3+ years of experience in IT, Internet Services, Hosting, Telecommunications, Cybersecurity, or IT Security Products, ideally in a technical support, networking, or customer-facing role
• You have strong knowledge of Secure CDN (Content Delivery Network) technologies for site acceleration, caching, and image optimization, including their integration with DDoS protection (T2-relevant)
• You have solid experience with NetFlow-based DDoS detection (e.g., Cloud Insights), including monitoring customer router flows and triggering automated mitigation mechanisms such as BGP rerouting (T2-relevant)
• You understand how the web works (HTTP, DNS, SSL/TLS)
• You have a solid grasp of networking basics (IP, TCP/UDP, OSI)
• You have a good understanding of BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) and how internet routing works, particularly in the context of DDoS mitigation
• You bring knowledge of DNS, CDN, or WAF/WAAP technologies
• You have basic Linux knowledge or scripting skills
• You are familiar with ticketing systems and monitoring tools such as Deskpro, Zendesk, Jira, Confluence, Zabbix, or similar platforms
• You have an interest in or experience with cybersecurity and DDoS protection
• You stay calm, structured, and customer-focused—even under pressure

Nice to have (certifications): CompTIA Security+, CompTIA Network+, Cisco CCNA, Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), or similar networking / cybersecurity certifications.
