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.

We’re looking for a highly motivated Technical Support Engineer to join our team and help us shape the future of internal developer portals, while helping our users get the most out of Port - troubleshooting issues, advising on best practices, and directly influencing how we improve the product

Acting as a key link between our users and our engineering team, you'll help shape both customer experience and product direction through problem solving and collaboration. If you’re passionate about solving complex technical problems, thrive on collaboration, and want to contribute to the future of platform engineering, we want to hear from you.

What you’ll do:

  • Act as a trusted advisor: Support Port users as they integrate with technologies like Kubernetes, Terraform, and Cloud Platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure).
  • Resolve issues end-to-end: Triage, investigate, and resolve technical support tickets. Escalate when necessary while owning follow-through.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally: Work closely with R&D, Product, Sales Engineering, and Customer Success to deliver a seamless support experience.
  • Be the voice of the customer: Surface trends, bugs, and usability pain points to Engineering and Product teams.
  • Contribute to knowledge: Build and improve internal and external documentation, tutorials, and troubleshooting guides.
  • Continuous Learning: Stay up to date with the evolving DevOps ecosystem and continually deepen your knowledge of integrated tools and services.
  • Provide on-call coverage: Participate in weekend on-call rotation (approximately once every 6 weeks) to ensure continuous customer support for critical issues.

Who you’ll work with:

You’ll be part of a collaborative support team that sits at the intersection of Product, Engineering, and Customer Success. We value autonomy, technical rigor, and customer empathy.

Working closely with Product, Engineering, and Customer Success, you’ll not only help resolve issues but also play a role in shaping the product and enhancing customer success strategies.

  • 5+ years in a Tier 3 technical support role, ideally in a SaaS or infrastructure-focused environment.
  • Cloud Platforms: Familiarity with AWS, GCP, or Azure, including foundational services like EC2, IAM, and networking.
  • Kubernetes: Solid understanding of container orchestration concepts and Kubernetes basics (pods, deployments, Helm charts, services, logs, troubleshooting).
  • Scripting and Configuration: Ability to read and understand code written in languages such as Bash, Java, or Python, and interpret structured formats like JSON and YAML.
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Working knowledge of Terraform - understanding how infrastructure is defined, deployed, and managed.
  • API Familiarity: Comfortable using REST APIs via tools like Postman or curl for basic testing and debugging.
  • Monitoring & Logging: Exposure to observability tools such as Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic, or similar (e.g., viewing logs, identifying performance issues).
  • Ticketing Systems: Hands-on experience with platforms like Zendesk, Freshdesk, or Jira Service Management.
  • Excellent communication skills in English, both written and verbal.

Advantages

  • Experience supporting or working closely with DevOps or Platform Engineering teams.
  • Familiarity with GitOps practices and CI/CD workflows (e.g., GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, or Flux)

What you need to know about the Melbourne Tech Scene

Home to 650 biotech companies, 10 major research institutes and nine universities, Melbourne is among one of the top cities for biotech. In fact, some of the greatest medical advancements were conceptualized and developed here, including Symex Lab's "lab-on-a-chip" solution that monitors hormones to predict ovulation for conception, and Denteric's vaccine for periodontal gum disease. Yet, the thousands of people working in the city's healthtech sector are just getting started, to say nothing of the tech advancements across all other sectors.
