Three tracks. One bar.
The Certified GTM Engineer ladder recognizes work at three scopes of decision. You pick the goal; we verify the level. Certification is in build now, and the founding cohort is forming.
Owns: What should I build?
Workflow Builder
Turns briefs into working systems: enrichment flows, outbound engines, CRM automations. The execution backbone of every GTM team.
What it tells an employer: An employer reading this badge knows you ship reliable systems from a spec, fast, without hand-holding.
Verified through practical assessments: build from a real brief, review a flawed workflow, and walk us through your decisions.
Owns: How should I build it?
Systems Integrator
Architects the whole machine: tool selection, data flow between systems, failure modes, and what breaks at scale.
What it tells an employer: This badge says you can own the how: when systems fight each other, you are the person teams call.
Verified through system-design challenges: diagnose a broken multi-tool stack, redesign it, and defend the migration order.
Owns: Should we build it?
Revenue ArchitectPanel reviewed
Owns revenue outcomes and the decisions behind them: what to build, what to kill, and why.
What it tells an employer: The scarcest mark on the platform. It tells an employer this person can be trusted with the roadmap, not just the build.
No self-serve path. Reviewed by a founder panel with a dossier of real work, verified experience, mentorship, and a live defense.
Every track is respected work at a different scope of decision, and compensation grows with scope: public postings for these roles ran $127K to $250K in January 2026. Assessments are scored against rubrics by humans. AI tools are allowed in assessments because using them well is part of the job; the recorded walkthrough at the end is all you.
