Senior GTM Engineer – AI Marketing Ops at Tremendous in Columbus
Career & Market Insight
A High-Demand Skill Set at the Right Moment: GTM Engineering — especially at the intersection of AI/LLMs and marketing operations — is one of the fastest-growing specializations in SaaS. Building agentic workflows with tools like n8n, Zapier, LLM APIs, and HubSpot positions you at the leading edge of the "AI-native marketing stack" movement. These skills are highly transferable and increasingly sought after across mid-market and enterprise SaaS companies.
Compensation Benchmarks: At $135K–$180K base plus equity, this is competitive for a senior individual contributor in marketing technology. The market rate for comparable Marketing Ops / GTM Engineering roles at VC-backed Series B–C SaaS is typically $120K–$160K, so Tremendous is at or above market — notable given they're bootstrapped and profitable.
Work-Life Balance Signals:
- Green flags: Fully remote, low-meeting culture, documentation-first, autonomous work style encouraged.
- Potential watch-out: "Launch, measure, iterate weekly" and emphasis on self-direction suggest a fast-paced environment with high ownership expectations — rewarding for the right person, but not for those who prefer structured guidance.
Company Stage: Profitable and bootstrapped (no outside investors) is a meaningful signal — lower dilution risk on equity, more stable runway, and decision-making driven by customers rather than VC timelines. The team appears small and lean, meaning your impact will be direct and attributable.
Career Trajectory: This role is a strong stepping stone toward Head of Marketing Technology, VP of Marketing Ops, or even a CTO/CPO track at a marketing-tech startup, given the blend of engineering depth and strategic marketing exposure.

About the Role
We're looking for a GTM Engineer focused on marketing who can integrate LLMs, workflow tools, and low-code capabilities to build agentic solutions that automate the highest-leverage workflow problems our marketing team faces. This role will work alongside our brand, content, product marketing, paid, and events marketing teams.
What You'll Do
- Design and build agentic workflows across the full campaign lifecycle, from Product Marketing to Design and Content to Demand Generation.
- Evaluate and deploy AI tools for marketing. Run structured pilots, then operationalize what works from campaign ideation to execution and analysis.
- Work with the Data team to build automated reporting pipelines that aggregate cross-channel marketing performance across paid, organic, email, and event channels into a unified view.
- Build AI-assisted lead scoring and qualification with the marketing planner.
- Let marketers run channel work from AI agents: paid campaign optimizations, creative uploads, and lifecycle campaign setup in HubSpot.
- Build reusable tools and workflows that marketers can run themselves — make the whole team faster rather than becoming a bottleneck.
What You'll Bring
- 5–8 years in marketing operations, marketing technology, or GTM engineering. You understand campaign lifecycles and channel reporting because you've lived them.
- You build the zero-to-one: workflows stitched across tools where the inputs are messy and the judgment calls are real, rather than maintained applications on a custom code base.
- Hands-on experience building with LLM APIs, AI agent frameworks, and workflow automation tools (Cargo, Zapier, Make, n8n, or similar). You've shipped agentic workflows, not just experimented with them.
- Comfortable with APIs, webhooks, and basic scripting. You don't stop when the no-code tool runs out of options.
- Process-first thinker. Your instinct is to map the workflow and find where it breaks before naming the tool that fixes it.
- Bias for rapid experimentation. Launch, measure, iterate weekly.
- Strong written communication. We're a documentation-first culture.
- Autonomous and self-directed. Tremendous is not a great fit for people who default to waiting for instructions.
- High empathy. You care about your teammates and users.
Nice to Haves
- Marketing-specific AI tools (Writer, AirOps, Phrase, etc.)
- SaaS martech stacks (HubSpot, Salesforce, CDPs, ABM platforms)
- SQL and Snowflake for reporting pipelines
- Brand or creative operations background — you understand how designers work and what makes a good brief.
- Cursor, Claude, or similar AI-assisted development tools
What's Cool About the Role
- Immediate, measurable impact. The problems are concrete and the wins are visible in weeks.
- The team is already AI-forward: Cursor daily, monthly AI tool evaluations, leadership fully bought in.
- Profitable and growing without outside investors.
- Competitive pay, equity, and benefits. Base salary: $135,000 to $180,000.
- We're a fully remote company. This role is US Remote.
- We've got smart people and a great culture. See our company handbook.
