Strategic Engineer, CEO office

About Port:

Port is the Agentic SDLC Platform. The way engineering teams build software is constantly evolving, and every new wave - such as AI agents operating across the SDLC - makes engineering more powerful, but also more complex and chaotic.

Port turns that chaos into control: one platform to build, govern, and operate the software development lifecycle, enabling every team to move as fast as technology allows.

Following our $100M Series C funding round, we are entering an exciting stage of significant growth and global expansion. As a product-led company, we believe the recipe for success is a world-class product that speaks for itself.

About the position:

The Special Projects Lead in Port's CEO's Office serves as a strategic connection point between Port's product organization and its go-to-market teams. Reporting to the Field CTO, this role addresses the company's highest-priority challenges as they emerge, and operates across a broad and evolving scope of strategic initiatives.

The core of the role is 0→1 execution. Each quarter, the position is aligned to specific company KPIs, and is responsible for building the required foundations from the ground up: processes, tooling, content, and enablement infrastructure. Initiatives are developed, validated, and operationalized before being transitioned to the relevant owning team.

Execution spans a wide range of activities depending on the initiative in focus. These may include:

• Building product demos and technical assets on the Port platform
• Partnering with marketing to produce content that communicates Port's positioning to the market
• Meeting with customers and prospects to gather feedback and validate direction
• Representing Port at industry conferences and events
• Conducting market research to inform where the company invests next
• Designing and standing up new internal processes, programs, and tooling
  
  

• Own strategic initiatives end to end, from definition through execution and handover, working in close partnership with the Field CTO on direction while driving the execution independently
• Proactively identify signals in the market, product, or field, and initiate ideas and projects independently, without waiting for direction from the Field CTO or CEO
• Set a consistently high quality bar, delivering work that is best in class rather than simply complete
• Operate independently in front of customers and prospects, running meetings and demos with confidence and credibility
• Become a recognized internal expert on both the Port platform and the broader market, and a person other teams come to for answers
• Move quickly across changing priorities, ramping into new domains and delivering meaningful output within weeks rather than months
  
  

• 4 years of experience in Engineering / technical customer facing roles, with hands-on technical ability
• Hands-on experience with AI tools and agents: prompting, building automations, working with agentic workflows
• Strong presentation skills, comfortable running meetings and demos in front of technical and executive audiences
• Fluent English (written and verbal) and Hebrew
• Experience with dev tools, platform engineering, or DevOps concepts is a strong plus
• Advantage for experience in Sales engineering, Product Marketing, and technical GTM roles
  
  

• Exceptional communicator, written and verbal, able to adapt to technical, executive, and customer audiences
• Winner mindset: optimistic, competitive, and eager to take on any challenge
• Sharp problem solver, able to break down complex and ambiguous problems into clear direction
• Confident and engaging presence, comfortable leading a room
• High ownership: takes responsibility and follows through end to end
• Autodidact, learns new tools, domains, and problems fast with minimal guidance
• Comfortable with ambiguity and constantly shifting scope
• Cares deeply about quality, impact, and the success of the company as a whole
• Extensive travel could be required
