Go-To-Market Engineer

About Traversal

Traversal is the AI Site Reliability Engineer (AI SRE) for the enterprise.

Production complexity was already outpacing what engineering teams could manage manually, and AI-generated code is accelerating that gap. Traversal is built for that challenge, autonomously understanding and reasoning across even the largest, most complex production environments to diagnose, fix, and prevent incidents. Our mission is to free engineers from endless firefighting and give them more time to focus on creative, high-impact work.

Today, Traversal operates in mission-critical environments at some of the world’s largest enterprises, including PepsiCo, Nubank, Harvey, and DigitalOcean. Our roots remain deeply embedded in AI research, and we’ve brought together researchers from institutions including MIT, Harvard, Berkeley, Columbia, and Cornell with world-class technical staff and operators from companies like Google, Meta, Datadog, ServiceNow, and Citadel Securities to take on one of the hardest problems for AI to solve. Traversal is backed by Sequoia Capital, Kleiner Perkins, Redpoint Ventures, and Khosla Ventures.

The Role

• Design, test, and iterate on growth experiments, creating measurable feedback loops to improve conversion and pipeline efficiency
• Establish documentation, governance, and quality standards for AI and automation across the GTM organization

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in GTM systems, growth engineering, revenue operations, marketing automation, or a related technical role within B2B SaaS
• Strong hands-on experience building automation using APIs, webhooks, LLMs, and modern GTM tools (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot, Clay, Outreach, data enrichment platforms)
• Comfort working with technical systems including JSON payloads, APIs, and basic SQL for validation or analysis
• Proven ability to translate ambiguous GTM challenges into shipped, measurable improvements
• Experience building AI-powered workflows, agents, or automation systems that drive business impact
• Strong systems thinking and the ability to design scalable, repeatable infrastructure
• Excellent cross-functional collaboration skills, especially when partnering with internal engineering teams

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with observability, developer tools, or technical B2B audiences
• Experience training LLM workflows on internal knowledge bases or structured datasets
• Experience supporting enterprise sales motions
• Prior experience as a Sales Engineer, Forward Deployed Engineer or Account Executive
