Founding GTM Engineer
Founding GTM Engineer (Pipeline + Content)
About Us
We’re building Modus — an AI Sales Planning & Performance platform (YCombinator S24). www.himodus.com/sales-capacity. The mission is to help Ops and Finance leaders keep coverage, ramp, and pipeline aligned before revenue slips.
Now we need a cracked GTM Engineer — someone who blends technical chops, growth hacking instincts, and creative output — to generate pipeline at scale.
What You’ll Do
- Pipeline as code: Design and execute multi-channel outbound campaigns (LinkedIn, email, video, community, creative stunts) that book 10+ meetings a week.
- Engineer the GTM stack: Automate outreach flows, enrich data, build scrapers, test new tools — treat pipeline like a system you can break and optimize.
- Content as weapon: Create high-output content using Figma, Adobe, CapCut, etc. — from thought leadership visuals to informational videos. Understand viral loops, but accept that out of 100 posts, perhaps just 1 will land.
- Full-funnel ownership: From writing the copy to pushing the send button to analyzing the results — complete accountability for experiments.
- Velocity mindset: Test 10 ideas, kill 9 fast, double-down on the 1 that works. Move faster than anyone else in the market.
- Collaborate deeply: Work with founders on messaging, ICP refinement, and building scalable motions — you’ll be shaping the company’s DNA.
What You Bring
- Technical edge: Comfort with data tools, scrapers, APIs, automation platforms, and building quick scripts/workflows to hack scale.
- Creative output: Ability to design, edit, and publish content fast (Figma, Adobe, CapCut, Canva, etc.).
- Growth hacker instincts: Knows how to blend virality + precision targeting + quality; understands funnels, conversion rates, and compounding loops.
- Sales hustle: Not afraid to cold DM, cold email, drop content, run experiments, and iterate at breakneck speed.
- Obsessed with outcomes: You measure success by meetings booked and pipeline created — not vanity metrics.
- Resilience: You know 90% of experiments won’t work — and you love it.
Why This Role Is Different
You’re not joining as a “marketer” or a “sales rep.” You’re a Founding GTM Engineer — part technical builder, part creator, part growth strategist. You'll be part of a YCombinator company in its early infancy, writing the playbook. If all goes well, the upside is huge.
High ceiling: if you’re truly cracked, equity is on the table. You’ll be shaping go-to-market DNA from day one.
Pure impact: success here means outcompeting incumbents with creativity, speed, and execution.
You'll also have access to founders with over 10+ years of experience in B2B SaaS from HashiCorp to OpenGov - they were VPs and CTOs.
Compensation
Competitive salary + commission upside
Equity opportunity as a founding GTM Engineer (if you prove you’re cracked)
🔥 This is not a role for someone who wants playbooks handed to them. This is for someone who wants to write the playbook — and break it every week.
