Port finds every agent and skill across your org, gives each one an owner and guardrails, and grounds them in one Context Lake built from 100+ tools. Teams build factory lines to ship features, fix bugs and automate every part of their AI SDLC. We believe the platform we build will fundamentally shape how engineering organizations operate in the age of AI.
After our $100M Series C, we’re growing fast with enterprise customers, and we’re building the team to match.

The ability to articulate solutions in a relatable way and assist in navigating technical discussions is indispensable. At the heart of your role is the fusion of impeccable technical knowledge with a keen sales awareness, ensuring Port's value is communicated clearly and effectively.

Who you’ll work with:
As a peer to our Account Executives, you’ll own the technical win on each deal and bring the technical depth that helps good pitches close. You’ll work alongside fellow Sales Engineers and take what you hear in the field to Product, where it shapes our roadmap. You’ll also partner with Marketing and Customer Success so that what we promise in the market matches what customers experience. With a regular seat in forecasting meetings and close collaboration with our sales leaders, CTO, CEO, and Engineering team, you’ll be part of the conversations that set strategy and settle the technical questions behind big deals.
