Founding GTM Engineer

Your responsibilities We're looking for Plato's first GTM Engineer: the person who brings RevOps to Plato as a discipline and builds our revenue engine as a product, not a ticket queue. Pipeline, conversion, and revenue per headcount are your metrics. You're inheriting real infrastructure - HubSpot as our source of truth, a custom-built deal-scoring app, call intelligence via Grain, and company-wide AI access - but the layers underneath are still unbuilt: clean data, automated process, real forecasting rigor, AI-driven workflows. That's the job. This is a team-of-one role that's essentially a sandbox: a direct line to the founders, a mandate to change how we work, and no playbook telling you what to build first. If you want to build the infrastructure behind a revenue engine from the ground up and see your own builds move real numbers, let's talk. What you'll actually do: - Get the data foundation trustworthy: CRM hygiene, field governance, deduping, enrichment on create - Automate the revenue process: lead routing, SLAs, stage criteria, clean handoffs across teams - Build the pipeline generation stack: signal-based outbound (ICP scoring, enrichment waterfalls, orchestration) so effort goes into conversations, not list-building - Bring AI into daily workflows: call-intelligence automation, research agents, health/churn scoring - Get forecasting and reporting to a place leadership can steer from weekly - Make sure what you ship gets used: instrument adoption, train the team, iterate Your qualifications Must-haves: - Hands-on experience architecting a CRM like HubSpot from the ground up - how objects, properties, and data structure are set up - not just administering one that's already built - Practical, production experience with outbound/enrichment tooling (e.g. Clay or similar) - You've built with AI/LLMs - prompt design, agents, or AI-powered workflows - in real production work - Strong data rigor: you can read a funnel, spot where the data is dirty, and quantify the impact of a fix before you build it - You think in systems and sequencing, not tickets - and can defend your reasoning under real pushback Nice-to-haves: - Experience as an early GTM-Ops/RevOps hire at another startup - Familiarity with our stack or similar: Grain, Sales Navigator-style outbound tooling - Comfort with unit economics (CAC, ACV, payback) - Experience with mid-market, multi-stakeholder B2B deal cycles Why us? - Real ownership. You build our RevOps function from scratch, with real budget for tooling and a mandate to change how the revenue team works from day one. - No single lane. The role touches data, process, automation and AI. - Impact you can measure. See your own build move a real number within your first 90 days. - Top-of-market compensation, plus meaningful equity. - Close to the founders at a fast-growing AI startup backed by Atomico and Cherry Ventures ($14.5M seed). - Great team, great perks. Weekly team lunches, dinner on us when we work late, a sports membership and regular team events.
