At Port.io, we are building an open and flexible Agentic SDLC Platform for modern engineering organizations. Following our recent $100M Series C funding round, we are in a phase of rapid hyper-growth with strong enterprise momentum.

We act as the central nervous system for engineering, enabling platform teams to unify their stack and expose it as a governed layer through golden paths for developers and AI agents. By combining rich engineering context, workflows, and actions, we help organizations transition from manual processes to autonomous, AI-assisted engineering workflows while maintaining control and accountability. As a product-led company, we believe in building world-class platforms that fundamentally shape how modern engineering organizations operate.

As Port continues its impressive ascent, we are looking for a Sales Engineer who will bolster our enterprise segments in the AMER region. You'll partner with our Account Executives to provide the deep technical knowledge and demonstrations that help close deals that can often range from five to seven figures. We value your unique skill set that combines engineering expertise with a salesperson's intuition. 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.

What you’ll do: 

  • You'll be a key asset in the sales process, demonstrating the technical aspects of Port's offerings and how they relate to client needs.
  • Demonstrate product capabilities, tailored to the unique requirements and pain points of each potential customer.
  • Leading technical Proofs of Concept (POCs), ensuring prospects understand the full value proposition of our solution.
  • Collaborate with Account Executives to define and refine sales strategies, incorporating technical insights.
  • Provide feedback to our Engineering and Product teams, sharing front-line intel about customer needs and market demands.
  • Engage in continuous learning, ensuring you're always up to speed on our latest product enhancements and the wider market landscape.

Who you’ll work with: 

You'll be the tech wiz amidst a talented group of Account Executives, deepening their pitches with your technical know-how. You’ll regularly provide insights to our Product team from your standpoint. Sales forecasting meetings will be richer with your presence. And, of course, key collaborations with our VP of Enterprise Sales, CEO, CTO, and Engineering team will be essential. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!

  • 5+ years of experience in a Sales Engineer role with Enterprise experience, though similar expertise in technology consulting roles will be considered.
  • Hands-on experience with developer tools, CI/CD tools, Kubernetes, and cloud infrastructure. Professional Development or Devops experience is a plus.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to break down complex subjects in a relatable manner.
  • A passion for value-selling with a keen sense of how technology addresses business needs.
  • In-depth understanding of our product suite, and the ability to demonstrate them effectively.
  • Problem-solving prowess, anticipating technical challenges and addressing them proactively.
  • Note: Employees are required to work from the office 3 days a week and 2 days from home. Office days are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
