About the Role

We're hiring a GTM Systems Engineer to design, build, and scale the technical infrastructure behind our go-to-market engine. You'll own the architecture that connects our CRM, marketing automation, sales tools, and data warehouse, turning manual processes into reliable, automated workflows.

In this role you will:

  • Architect, build, and maintain our GTM tech stack, including CRM, CPQ, marketing automation infrastructure, and more.
  • Design and own integrations and data flows between GTM systems and the data warehouse using APIs, webhooks, and reverse ETL
  • Build automations to improve data hygiene, pipeline accuracy, deal desk processes, etc.
  • Develop AI-powered and agent-based workflows that remove manual work and surface timely signals to reps
  • Ensure data integrity across systems through clear data models, deduplication, validation rules, and monitoring
  • Partner with Ops and Data Engineering to support reporting, dashboards, and forecasting infrastructure
  • Evaluate, implement, and retire tools as the business scales, with thoughtful documentation and change management

Requirements for the role:

  • 4+ years in GTM Engineering, Business Systems, Revenue Operations, or a technical Sales/Marketing Ops role at a high-growth company
  • Deep hands-on experience administering and customizing a CRM (Salesforce), including objects, flows, permissions, and integrations
  • Experience building and maintaining CPQ and billing systems is preferred
  • Genuinely curious & interested in AI, with experience applying it to your day-to-day work
  • Strong SQL skills and experience working with a data warehouse (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery)
  • Experience building integrations with APIs and automation platforms (e.g., Zapier, Workato, Tray.io http://Tray.io); scripting in Python or JavaScript is a strong plus
  • A systems-thinking mindset: you design for scale, document your work, and care about clean data
  • You thrive in high-intensity, high-autonomy environments and enjoy owning problems end to end
