## Job description

## WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We're hiring a GTM Engineer to own and continuously improve the technical infrastructure behind every campaign, sequence, enrichment workflow, and data pipeline that powers our revenue engine. This is a hands-on, high-agency role with end-to-end ownership. We expect you to raise the bar and move fast.

The GTM Engineer is the operational heartbeat of our outbound motion. You'll own the infrastructure, tooling, and workflows that enable our GTMA team to execute effectively at scale. This isn't an admin role, it's a strategic execution position focused on removing friction, optimizing sequences, and driving pipeline growth.

## WHAT YOU’LL DO

## OUTBOUND OPERATIONS & TOOLING

- Manage and optimize our outbound infrastructure (SmartLead, Outreach, Nooks, HeyReach, and adjacent tools)
- Design, build, and refine programmatic and personalized cold email sequences
- Own list management, segmentation, and data quality for outbound campaigns, including enrichment workflows using Clay-like tools and data providers
- Implement signal-based triggers to identify high-value accounts and coordinate across channels
- Track, analyze, and report on outbound performance metrics (open rates, reply rates, conversion to meetings)

## BDR/GTMA ENABLEMENT

- Serve as the operational partner to the GTMA team: they execute, you enable
- Implement feedback loops to continuously improve sequence performance
- Troubleshoot issues with tools, sequences, and processes
- Train new team members on tools and best practices

## WORKFLOW & PROCESS OPTIMIZATION

- Identify and eliminate operational friction in the outbound motion
- Automate repetitive tasks and handoffs between teams, including via APIs, webhooks, and basic scripting (Python or JS)
- Maintain documentation and standard operating procedures
- Ensure data flows cleanly between systems (CRM, engagement tools, reporting)

## WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

- Outbound motion runs smoothly without the Growth Lead in the day-to-day
- BDRs have the tools, sequences, and data they need to hit targets
- Sequences are continuously optimized based on performance data
- New campaigns launch quickly and cleanly
- Pipeline generated from outbound is predictable and scalable

## REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

- 2+ years in a GTM Engineer, RevOps, Sales Ops, or Marketing Ops role
- Hands-on experience with outbound tools (email, calling, engagement platforms)
- Comfortable with APIs, webhooks, and basic scripting (Python or JS) to connect and automate across tools
- Comfortable building and optimizing cold outreach sequences
- Ability to work autonomously and take ownership of problems
- Analytical mindset, you use data to inform decisions and optimize
- Clear communicator who can document processes and train others

## NICE TO HAVE

- Experience at fast-growing B2B SaaS companies
- Familiarity with intent data and programmatic prospecting
- Experience with HubSpot or similar CRM systems
- Track record of optimizing BDR/SDR motions
- Familiarity with intent data and programmatic prospecting
- Prior experience in sales operations or revenue operations

## About Basic Capital

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Basic Capital provides a modern, technology-driven 401(k) platform that uses leverage, private credit, and a "Retirement Mortgage" to give employees more investing power.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Post-Series A)
- **Headquarters**: New York, New York, United States
- **Founded**: 2021
- **Founders**: Abdul Al-Asaad (CEO), Anjan Karanam (CTO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Financial Services (Fintech, Retirement & Wealth Management)
- **Target customers**: B2B (Employers seeking a high-quality retirement plan for their workforce) and B2C (Employees saving for retirement).
- **Mission or purpose statement**: To build a modern 401(k) that gives employees more capital to invest and build wealth, moving beyond traditional savings plans.

## Products & Services
- **Basic Capital 401(k) Platform**: A fully bundled or modular SaaS platform that handles recordkeeping, administration, and optional advisory (3(21) or 3(38)). Differentiators include real-time compliance testing, a mobile-first interface, and open architecture with 6,000+ investment options.
- **Retirement Mortgage**: A proprietary feature allowing employees to access long-term financing within their 401(k) to increase their investing power (e.g., invest up to 100% in S&P 500) with no margin calls or personal recourse. The cost of financing varies.
- **Mega Backdoor Roth**: The platform automatically maximizes employee contributions through after-tax dollars, pushing the annual deferral limit up to $72,000.
- **Compliance Monitoring**: Real-time tracking and agent-assisted compliance solutions to help fast-growing companies avoid failing annual tests.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed.
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding: $25 Million (Series A, closed August 2025).
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Lux Capital and Forerunner (co-led Series A); Bill Ackman (first investor in 2021).
- **Growth Signals**:
    - **Headcount Growth**: +7.5% monthly employee growth. Currently 22 employees.
    - **Recent Funding**: $25M Series A in August 2025, signaling strong investor confidence in their audacious model.
    - **Press Coverage**: Featured in Bloomberg for their unique use of leverage and private credit in retirement plans.
    - **High Engagement**: 80% of issues resolved within 24 hours; average response time of 25 minutes.

## Competitive Advantages
- **First-of-its-kind leverage**: Pioneered the "Retirement Mortgage," allowing employees to use financing for long-term investing, a feature unheard of in traditional 401(k) plans.
- **High-touch, fast support**: Average response time of 25 minutes and 80% issue resolution within 24 hours, far exceeding industry norms.
- **Real-time compliance**: Proactive, data-driven compliance testing prevents plan failure for high-growth companies.
- **Full architectural freedom**: Open architecture with 6,000+ options plus a brokerage window, combined with a mobile-first user experience designed for modern employees.
- **Product-led growth**: A slick, user-centric product designed to drive adoption without requiring a large sales force.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scaling the platform**: With the $25M Series A, Basic Capital is focused on hiring and expanding its employer base, particularly among fast-growing companies.
- **Continued innovation**: Further development of the Retirement Mortgage and private investment options to differentiate from legacy providers.
- **Building an elite team**: The company culture is explicitly designed to attract "builders" and "high-agency" individuals, emphasizing shipping products and solving hard problems.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: High-agency, builder-oriented, and mission-driven. The team operates with a "player-coach" model and no middle management. Core values include "Iterate to greatness," "Real artists ship," and "Stewardship."
- **Work Model**: Primarily in-office based in New York City (HQ) with a strong emphasis on in-person collaboration (likely 5 days/week given the culture).
- **Engineering Culture**: Technical team uses Java, Ruby, TypeScript, Kotlin, Python, and React. CTO Anjan Karanam is hands-on. The company describes itself as "elite problem solvers" focused on important problems.
- **Growth**: High employee growth rate suggests rapid expansion and early-career impact opportunities. The team is currently small (~22 people), so every role has outsized impact.
- **Perks & Benefits**: A top-tier 401(k) plan (Mega Backdoor Roth, Leverage) that employees can actually use; fast operational support; and a sense of building something radically new in a staid industry.
