It handles campaign creation, personalization, and optimization in one place, so lean teams can do more without adding headcount, agencies or point AI solutions. Customers use Different to launch campaigns faster, reach the right buyers, and continuously improve marketing ROI. Between them, Different’s founders have founded two unicorns, led AI at a global marketing software giant, and built platforms used by millions. They bring deep product, technical, and business experience to one shared goal: reimagining how modern marketing works. We are backed by General Catalyst and Lightspeed.\nThe role\nYou'll be part of the Marketing Operations team. When the team runs into a GTM problem that software can solve, you should be able to understand the workflow and build a practical fix.\nThe role covers campaign setup, QA, internal tools, integrations, performance data, and new AI-assisted workflows. Each problem may need a different approach: a script, an integration, a small app, or simply a better process.While you will not be on the core Engineering team, you do need to be comfortable writing code and working directly with APIs, data, and production systems.\nPrior marketing experience is not required. We care more about how quickly you can understand a new problem and build a sensible solution.\nWhat you'll work on\nCampaign automation: cut down the manual work in planning, launching, checking, optimizing, and reporting on campaigns.\nGTM integrations: connect and pull data from LinkedIn Ads, Google Ads, Salesforce, HubSpot, and other systems the team relies on.\nInternal tools: build scripts, small apps, and data pipelines when existing tools fall short.\nData and reliability: figure out why numbers don't match or why tracking and workflows break, and fix the problem.\nOperational judgment: automate the repetitive parts while leaving the real decisions with the marketer.\nAI workflows: try LLMs, agents, and tool calling on everyday campaign work, and keep what works.\nProduct feedback: work with Product and Engineering when an internal workflow points to something that could be useful to customers.\nWhat we're looking for\n1-3 years of experience in software engineering, data, applied AI, technical operations, or a similar technical role.\nStrong programming fundamentals, ideally in Python or TypeScript.\nExperience with APIs, databases, and structured data.\nComfort debugging systems you didn't build and working with messy or incomplete data.\nThe ability to take a loosely defined problem and turn it into something usable, without waiting for a detailed spec.\nGood judgment about when a problem needs code and when an existing tool or a simpler process will do.\nClear communication with both technical and non-technical teammates.\nRelevant experience may include:\nBuilding with LLM APIs or using AI tools regularly in your work.\nPaid advertising or campaign operations.\nCRM or marketing automation tools such as Salesforce or HubSpot.\nYou don't need a marketing background, but you'll need to learn the domain quickly, including how marketers think about audiences and campaigns and what happens after a campaign launches.\nWhy this is interesting\nA lot of marketing operations work falls between packaged software and manual judgment. A campaign manager may know exactly what needs to happen, but getting there still means moving data between systems, checking setup by hand, or repeating the same steps every week.\nYou'll see these problems up close and build the tools that remove them. Most of what you build will stay within Marketing Operations, but when a pattern keeps showing up, it can become important enough to shape the product.\nThat short feedback loop is the point of the role: find a real problem, build something useful, see whether it works, and improve it from there.\nAnnual compensation range\n$110k-$180k\nActual compensation will depend on the candidate's experience, skills and the scope of the role. In addition to base salary, Different offers equity and benefits.\nLogistics\nSan Francisco, CA\nFull-time\n5 days/week in office","description_format":"text","description_chars":4160,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":1,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Marketing Automation","Marketing & Sales AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-26T22:14:01Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":14,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.509,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":50,"expected_fill_days":23,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:tail","crowd:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-11-12T10:38:37Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":180000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/different-gtm-systems-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/different-gtm-systems-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-12T17:31:50Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":36845,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3050},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3050"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fdifferent-gtm-systems-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fdifferent-gtm-systems-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fdifferent-gtm-systems-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/different-gtm-systems-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fdifferent-gtm-systems-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3297030}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"different.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3297030},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
