Business Systems Architect, GTM Systems

About Betterment Betterment is a leading, technology-driven financial services company that offers investing, savings and retirement solutions for retail investors and investment advisors as well as financial wellness solutions, including a 401(k) for small and medium-sized businesses. Our team is passionate about our mission, to empower people to build wealth with confidence and ease. We’re headquartered in NYC and offer hybrid NY-based positions (four days/ week in-office, with no required office days during the summer and winter holidays). About the Role We’re looking for a senior individual contributor to own the architecture and ongoing health of Betterment’s GTM systems ecosystem, with Salesforce at the center and a growing set of surrounding integrations. This is a staff-level technical leadership role for someone who wants to spend their time solving hard systems problems, setting technical direction, and raising the bar for how our GTM systems are built. This role goes well beyond system administration or ticket fulfillment. As the staff-level architect for Betterment’s GTM systems ecosystem, you’ll define technical direction across our stack, proactively identify architectural risks and opportunities, and bring forward new approaches before they become stakeholder asks. You’ll partner closely with our Sales, Betterment Advisor Solutions (BAS), and Betterment at Work (B@W) teams as the primary technical counterpart to their workflows, and collaborate with our Data and Product/Engineering organizations on systems integration and data integrity. You’ll guide how our tools work together - Salesforce, HubSpot, Clay, and the rest of our GTM stack - and ensure we’re building for long-term scalability, data quality, and business impact. This role is not the primary owner of routine system administration, basic ticket fulfillment, or standard stakeholder intake; it is focused on the most complex architectural, integration, and platform-health problems across our GTM systems. You’ll be a force multiplier for the broader Business Systems & Tools team: reviewing solution designs, mentoring engineers on architecture and integration patterns, and stepping into the team’s highest-risk or most ambiguous cross-system work to unblock progress and raise the quality bar. This role is based out of our NYC office. Below we've reflected the base salary range for this position. Actual salaries may vary depending on factors including but not limited to location, experience, and performance. The range listed is just one component of Betterment’s total compensation package for employees. New York City: $155,000- $175,000 This job may also be eligible for variable compensation in the form of a company incentive bonus. A Day in the Life Own the GTM systems architecture Define and maintain the target architecture for our GTM systems ecosystem - how data and workflows should move between Salesforce, HubSpot, Clay, and adjacent tools such as enrichment, engagement, telephony, billing, and analytics - and drive the stack toward it. Define and maintain the canonical GTM systems architecture, including system-of-record boundaries, key data domains, integration patterns, and architecture decision records, so the team has clear standards to build against. Design and build scalable, maintainable solutions for our most complex, cross-system initiatives, owning them from problem framing through deployment. Continuously audit the health of the stack: integration reliability, data integrity, technical debt, security posture, permissions, auditability, and platform limits - and drive remediation before problems reach stakeholders. Set technical direction and raise the bar Review and guide solution designs across the Business Systems & Tools team, providing guardrails and feedback that improve scalability, maintainability, and clarity.
