(NOTE: A human reviews every application at Oceans, so please apply for only one position and only once a year—if you're a better fit for another role, we’ll route your application accordingly and if we’re not quite ready for you, we’ll reach back out later).

At Oceans, we believe that talent knows no boundaries. That’s why we connect the best and brightest professionals with career-defining opportunities that challenge, inspire, and accelerate their career growth. Our community, whom we call Divers, don’t just work—they dive deep, solve complex challenges, and make a real impact with global industry leaders. And in doing so, they don’t just support bold ideas—they expand their skills, broaden their expertise, and grow their careers.

As a Go-to-Market (GTM) Engineer, you will be responsible for building the systems and infrastructure that power scalable outbound growth. You will combine technical problem-solving, market research, and automation to identify high-fit prospects, generate actionable signals, and enable highly personalized outreach at scale.

This role is ideal for someone who thinks in systems, builds quickly, and thrives in ambiguity—someone who doesn’t just propose ideas, but translates them into working GTM engines that drive real pipeline.

Accountability

Your success as a GTM Engineer will be defined by your ability to design and implement scalable, signal-driven outbound systems that generate qualified opportunities and improve targeting precision.

Here’s how you’ll make an impact:

ICP Definition & Market Discovery

• Define and continuously refine ideal customer profiles across industries, ecosystems, and business models.
• Identify key pain points, buying triggers, and high-conversion use cases.
• Develop account scoring models using firmographic, technographic, behavioral, and intent-based signals.
• Test and iterate targeting hypotheses based on real-world feedback.

Data Infrastructure & Signal Generation

• Build workflows to transform raw market data into prioritized target account lists.
• Source and structure data from web signals, technology stacks, and enrichment tools.
• Identify patterns across platforms, tools, and behaviors that indicate strong fit or intent.
• Design prioritization frameworks to guide outbound focus and resource allocation.

Outbound System Design

• Design and execute outbound strategies across email, LinkedIn, and other relevant channels.
• Build personalization systems based on meaningful business signals, not generic templates.
• Translate data insights into compelling messaging angles tied to real customer pain points.
• Develop and iterate on sequencing, messaging logic, and testing frameworks.

Automation & GTM Tooling

• Build and maintain automated workflows across data sources, CRMs, and outreach tools.
• Integrate APIs, enrichment platforms, and internal systems into a unified GTM architecture.
• Own the full lifecycle from prospect identification to qualified opportunity through automation.
• Continuously improve efficiency, speed, and scalability of GTM processes.

Experimentation & Iteration

• Launch experiments quickly and refine based on performance data.
• Balance speed with usability, ensuring outputs can be adopted by the broader team.
• Operate independently with minimal direction in a fast-paced environment.
• Document systems and workflows clearly for scalability and continuity.
