Enterprise Growth Engineer

We’re creating a new team of Enterprise Growth Engineers—technical builders who operate at the intersection of customer needs and product innovation. This isn’t a typical engineering role. You’ll be part of a “Special Forces” team that rapidly builds solutions to unblock enterprise deals, then transforms those oneoff wins into scalable product features that benefit all Clay users.

As an Enterprise Growth Engineer, you’ll work closely with our Solutions and Growth Strategist teams to understand what our largest customers need to succeed. When a milliondollar deal hinges on a specific capability, you’ll be the one who makes it happen—shipping production code in days, not quarters. Your work will directly impact Clay’s revenue growth and shape our product roadmap. While products you originate may eventually be handed off to sister teams for further development, you’ll often lead features from conception through scaled solution.

We strongly prefer candidates based in New York, as our product, engineering, and design teams collaborate in person.

What You’ll Do

• Ship fast to win deals: Build MVPs and custom solutions that unblock enterprise opportunities, often within days or weeks

• Turn patterns into products: Identify common needs across enterprise customers and transform custom solutions into features that scale to all Clay users

• Write production code: Build robust, maintainable solutions—this isn’t a prototyping role, you’re shipping real features

• Partner crossfunctionally: Work handinhand with Solutions Engineers and Growth Strategists to understand customer needs and translate them into technical solutions

• Think like an owner: Make autonomous decisions about what to build and how to build it, always optimizing for customer success and business impact

• Bridge technical and business: Communicate complex technical concepts to nontechnical stakeholders and understand how your work drives revenue

• What You’ll Bring

  MustHaves:

  • 3+ years of software engineering experience shipping production code

  • Strong fullstack capabilities with modern web technologies

  • Track record of shipping quickly without sacrificing quality

  • Ability to translate ambiguous customer requirements into working software

  • Excellent communication skills—you can explain technical concepts to anyone

  • Comfort with ambiguity and rapidly changing priorities

  • Located in or willing to relocate to New York City

  • NicetoHaves:

    • Experience at a highgrowth B2B SaaS company

    • Background as a technical founder or early engineer at a startup

    • Experience in customerfacing or forward deployed engineering roles

    • Familiarity with gotomarket tools and workflows

    • Track record of turning hacks into scalable products

    • Experience with enterprise software and understanding of enterprise buying processes

    • What Makes This Role Unique

      • Direct revenue impact: Your code directly influences deal outcomes and company growth

      • Unprecedented autonomy: You decide what to build and how to build it

      • Unique exposure: Work directly with enterprise customers while shaping product strategy

      • Fast feedback loops: Ship on Monday, see customer impact by Friday

      • Growth trajectory: As the team scales, opportunity to define how engineering and customer success intersect at Clay

      • The Ideal Candidate

        You’re not just an engineer—you’re a businessminded builder who gets energy from solving real customer problems. You thrive in environments where the requirements are ambiguous, the timeline is “yesterday,” and the impact is measured in revenue. You can hold your own in a technical discussion with senior engineers and in a business discussion with enterprise executives.

        Most importantly, you understand that sometimes the best solution isn’t the most elegant one—it’s the one that ships today and unblocks the customer.
