Junior GTM Engineer in London

Yhangry is a marketplace that connects people with private chefs. We're scaling across the UK, US, and Europe. We don't scale with spreadsheets and manual work — we build automated systems that do it for us.

We're hiring a GTM Engineer to work directly with our Lead Growth Engineer to build the infrastructure that acquires chefs, signs partners, and drives bookings — without anyone touching a spreadsheet. You'll write code that makes the company grow. Not in a hand-wavy "growth mindset" way. In a "your script generated 3,000 qualified leads last week" way.

If you've ever built a scraper, wired up an API, automated something that used to take someone hours, or made a tool that actually does something useful — and you wanted to do more of that but your job kept pulling you into Jira tickets and standups — this is the role.

• Week 1: Get inside our growth stack — Customer.io, HubSpot, Smartlead, Clay, our internal growth app, and the custom automations that connect them. Learn how they work and how to operate them without breaking what's already running in production. Ship your first script or automation — something small but useful. Data cleanup, lead enrichment, a broken pipeline fixed. You ship on day 3, not day 30. You own what you ship from the moment it goes live.
• By day 30: You're building and owning scraping and enrichment pipelines that find, qualify, and import leads into our CRM automatically. You've taken over at least one existing system from Dom — operating it, improving it, and understanding why it was built that way. You're connecting systems that don't talk to each other — APIs, webhooks, database queries, data flows between marketing tools and our core platform.
• By day 60: You own multiple systems end-to-end: building, operating, monitoring, fixing. You're building quick landing pages and lead magnets to test new acquisition channels before we invest engineering time. You've started proposing improvements to the systems you run — not just maintaining them, but making them better.
• After 90 days: You're building AI-powered automations as a core part of the role — agent-driven enrichment, personalisation, scoring, and outreach that gets smarter over time. We're actively building AI agents into our growth systems and you'll be hands-on with this from day one. You propose new systems based on what you're seeing in the data — you know where the bottlenecks are before anyone else does. Dom trusts you to own a system from brief to live without checking your work.

• You build things that work, fast. You know when to use Zapier to validate an idea in 2 hours and when to write Python to scale it properly. You don't over-engineer. You ship.
• You care about the number, not the code. The conversion rate of the tool you built matters more than how clean the code is. You want your work measured by what it produces — leads generated, partners activated, bookings driven.
• You're fluent in APIs and data. REST APIs, webhooks, SQL, JSON — you work with these daily and don't need someone to explain what a POST request is. You've connected systems that weren't designed to talk to each other.
• You figure things out without being told how. Someone describes a commercial problem. You architect the technical solution. You don't need a product manager to write a spec — you need a clear outcome and the freedom to build it.
• You have 1–3 years of experience — at a startup, in a growth/marketing ops role, or through side projects where you had to write code to get things done. Maybe you built a scraper that tracked prices. Maybe you automated your team's reporting. Maybe you built a tool just because the manual process annoyed you. That energy is exactly what we want.
• You're excited about AI agents and automation. Not just using ChatGPT — you've actually shipped something with an LLM API, or built automations that make decisions without a human in the loop. You likely use tools like Claude Code to move faster on execution — not as a substitute for thinking, but to compress build time and get ideas into production quickly. We're already embedding AI agents into our growth systems. This isn't a future roadmap item, it's the work.

• You've built web scrapers or worked with data enrichment APIs (Apollo, Clearbit, Clay, or similar).
• You have a portfolio of tools, scripts, or side projects you built to solve real problems.
• You've worked with Customer.io, HubSpot, Zapier/Make, or Smartlead.

You report directly to our Lead Growth & GTM Engineer, who built the automated systems that power yhangry's chef acquisition, partnership outreach, and affiliate programs. You'll work alongside him daily — not in a "he assigns you tickets" way, but in a "you're building the growth engine together" way. This is a two-person team right now. Your work will be visible from day one. You'll also work closely with our partnerships team (who operate the systems you build), our engineering team (who own the core platform), and one of the founders (who sets the growth priorities you'll be automating).

This isn't a support role. You're not maintaining someone else's CRM or updating dashboards. You're building the technical infrastructure that directly drives revenue at an early-stage startup. The systems you create will be the reason yhangry can enter a new market without hiring 10 more people. You'll learn how a marketplace growth engine works from the inside — supply acquisition, demand generation, partnership automation, and how they all connect. And you'll do it by building, not by watching.
