About Port:
At Port.io, we are building an open and flexible Agentic Engineering Platform for modern engineering organizations. Following our recent $100M Series C funding round, we are in a phase of rapid hypergrowth 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.
About your day-to-day:

- With a strategic approach to territory and opportunity planning, you will drive results that support monthly, quarterly, and annual revenue goals.
- You will regularly engage technical stakeholders within development and platform teams in order to identify where Port can deliver the most value.
- Collaboration will be central to your success, working with Sales Engineers and executives to strengthen relationships across key accounts. You will also partner with Engineering to surface opportunities for new capabilities that elevate the impact Port delivers to customers.
- A strong record of achieving or surpassing sales targets, ideally with ownership of at least 1M ARR annually
