Senior CLM Engineer

As Marqeta’s Senior CLM Engineer, you will architect, build, and enhance the systems and automations that drive our contract lifecycle from intake to negotiation to execution to downstream fulfillment. You will own Ironclad configurations, workflow automation, integrations with Salesforce/CPQ, and the technical architecture that powers Legal and GTM contracting operations.

You will work closely with Legal, Deal Desk, Sales, Finance, and Compliance to translate requirements into well-architected Ironclad solutions. You will also partner with our Salesforce engineering team to deliver seamless integrations, eliminate manual hand-offs, strengthen data consistency, and improve end-to-end contract automation. This role requires deep expertise in Ironclad, CLM workflow design, and Salesforce CPQ (quoting, pricing rules, product configuration, approvals).

The ideal candidate is comfortable engaging with stakeholders at all levels, can clearly articulate business problems, translate technical concepts into simple language, and deliver high-quality solutions using best practices and strong engineering fundamentals in an Agile framework.

We work Flexible First. This role can be performed remotely anywhere within the United States. We’d love for you to join us!
