GoKawiilClay's Kareem Amin to discuss rise of 'GTM engineer' role at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026
Clay co-founder and CEO Kareem Amin will speak at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 about the emergence of the 'GTM engineer,' a role Clay says it coined in 2023 for people who build automated, AI-driven revenue workflows instead of manually performing sales and marketing tasks. Clay says roughly 100 such job listings now appear monthly, including at companies like Cursor and Lovable.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The session suggests AI tools are consolidating tasks once split across research, data, and outreach teams into a single technical function, which could reshape how companies staff their sales and marketing operations. Because Clay itself coined and promotes the term, its claims about the role's growth should be read as a vendor's framing of a trend it has a stake in popularizing.
