Job description

GTM Engineer

About Boardy

Boardy is an AI super-connector — we've grown a network of 120,000+ members who get warm introductions through phone, SMS, WhatsApp, Slack, email, and LinkedIn. Growth here is an engineering problem before it's a marketing one.

We're looking for a Growth Engineer to own the systems that acquire, activate, and retain users — and to build the ones that don't exist yet. Our data and tracking stack is not a standard GTM setup: profiles, signals, interactions, and conversations across six channels, modeled in Postgres and dbt. You'll need to understand it deeply, extend it, and build automation on top of it.

This is a builder-first, high-autonomy role. No ticket queue, no roadmap handed down. You'll work directly with the founding team, ship daily, and own outcomes end to end — from the SQL that defines a metric to the copy that goes out the door.

What You'll Do

• Own the retention and re-engagement system: instrument churn signals, find drop-off points in the funnel, and build the automated campaigns that win users back
• Build and maintain growth infrastructure in n8n, Clay, and Supabase — pipelines that connect our product data, outbound, and reporting
• Work directly in Postgres: write and optimize queries, extend our data models, and build the reporting layer the whole team runs on
• Ship internal tools with Cursor or Claude Code when no off-the-shelf product solves the problem — scrapers, enrichment services, LLM agents, dashboards
• Build the outbound engine: list building, enrichment via APIs, and campaign orchestration at scale
• Own email campaigns and lifecycle sequences end to end — strategy, copy, execution, and iteration
• Design experiments, measure them honestly, and turn what works into repeatable playbooks

What You Have

• You write code. A CS degree, engineering background, or a portfolio of things you've actually shipped — we care about what you've built, not where you studied
• Comfort with SQL and relational databases. You can model data, not just query it
• 2–3+ years in a growth, GTM, or engineering role where you owned real outcomes
• Fluency with APIs, webhooks, and glue code — you can wire two systems together without waiting for anyone
• AI-native by default: you reach for LLMs and agent tooling as a normal part of how you build. Bonus if you've built agentic workflows in production
• Hands-on Clay experience (required) and working knowledge of n8n or similar orchestration tools
• Strong copywriting instincts. You have a second level of thinking about messaging — casual, approachable, minimal formalities. Systems that ship bad copy don't grow
• A creative, ownership-driven mindset: you spot problems, take them on unasked, and build the fix. Ask forgiveness more than permission
• Experience at an early-stage startup, ideally with a marketplace or network-effect product

Nice to Have

• Python or TypeScript for anything beyond glue code
• Experience with dbt, event tracking, or analytics instrumentation (PostHog or similar)
• You've built something that scraped, enriched, or classified data at volume

How We Work

We believe time together in person is valuable and important, and we have a 5-day in-office policy. We have a beautiful office in the Liberty Village WeWork that supports this collaboration.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary
• Meaningful equity in a high-growth AI company
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage from day one
• Ownership of a critical GTM function in a fast-growing, well-funded startup
• The chance to build systems that operate on millions of profiles, signals, and interactions
• Direct impact on a product creating real, valuable professional connections
• Work on cutting-edge problems at the intersection of AI, data, and large-scale matching
