We're looking for someone to build and maintain our core GTM infrastructure including Salesforce and our Clay instance. As we scale, the robustness and reliability of these systems will be a core success metric for the company. You'll be the person who builds within Salesforce and Clay: owning the objects, functions, tables, flows, automations, and integrations that keep our revenue motion running cleanly and give every team what they need to execute.

- Serve as the primary Salesforce builder for cross-functional teams: Sales, Tech Partnerships, CX, Finance, and more, translating process needs into technical solutions
- Push the limits of Clay and extend our platform into new use cases, feed our product team innovative ideas, dogfood new features and ; act as a practitioner evangelist of Clay infrastructure and GTM Engineering
- Engineer our internal Clay instance for maximal scale and reliability -- role model this development to the market as you lead the development of this practice
- Design protocols, observability and debugging principles to ensure our systems maintain high uptime
- Partner deeply with GTM leaders and frontline teams to understand how our revenue motion works today and where it breaks
- Identify opportunities to automate and redesign workflows using better systems design and AI
- Design for data quality - build validation, governance, and structure that the rest of the GTM stack can rely on
- Connect Salesforce to adjacent systems through APIs, webhooks, and automation layers so information moves cleanly across the stack
- Document what you build so others can understand, trust, and extend your work
What We're Looking For
- At least 6-10 years working in a combination of Technical RevOps, GTM Engineering, site reliability engineering (SRE) experience or other s
