Sales Engineer

This is a true 0→1 role at the intersection of engineering and go-to-market. You'll be the technical builder behind our GTM motion — building the automations and tooling that make sales and marketing fast and scalable. That means outbound and enrichment pipelines, CRM and data plumbing, and internal AI tools that give the whole GTM team leverage. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with sales and marketing, spot the bottlenecks that slow them down, and build the systems that remove them. Expect hands-on work with APIs, scripts, and LLMs every day, and tight feedback loops with the people using what you build. If you love the idea of engineering being a force multiplier for revenue, this is your seat. Who you are You're technical enough to script, call APIs, and wire tools together into reliable systems You have product sense for what actually moves pipeline, not just what's clever You're comfortable owning systems end-to-end, from idea to running in production You're fast, experimental, and obsessed with leverage You're fluent with AI and LLM tooling and constantly finding new ways to apply it You care about our mission, and you want to see the American manufacturing base get stronger You're excited to work in person 5 days a week in our NYC office, with a founder and growth mindset You've built GTM automations with tools like Clay, Apollo, enrichment providers, or CRM APIs A background that blends engineering with sales or marketing operations You've shipped internal AI tools that a team actually adopted Familiarity with our stack: TypeScript / NodeJS / PostgreSQL About Forgepoint Revitalize an industry.
