GTM Automation Engineer, (Clay, Instantly)

About Wing

Wing is one of the world’s largest virtual talent companies, venture-backed and based in San Francisco. Leveraging our global scale, millions of applicants, and deep operational expertise, we’re now building next-generation AI and automation products. Across both sides of our business, we help companies automate workflows, scale revenue, and unlock world-class global talent.

As part of this evolution, we are building a high-scale outbound engine to reach SMBs and mid-market companies at scale. This requires a new kind of role - one that blends engineering, automation, experiment velocity, and GTM execution.

About the Role

We are hiring a full-time GTM Automation Engineer to architect, automate, and optimize our outbound growth systems. This is a hybrid role combining Clay automation expertise, light engineering, outbound infrastructure, experimentation, and crisp copywriting.

You will build and maintain the machine behind our outbound engine: Clay workflows, enrichment pipelines, domain infrastructure, multi-tool integrations, personalization systems, and data dashboards. You will run high-velocity experiments, write conversion-focused outbound copy, troubleshoot deliverability, and scale sending volume across hundreds of thousands of leads.

You will work closely with our marketing, product, and sales teams - but you will own your domain with a high degree of autonomy. The systems you build will directly drive pipeline, revenue, and go-to-market strategy. This is a highly technical, high-leverage role that sits at the intersection of engineering and growth. The impact you make here will be massive.
