The posting

Profound is the fastest-growing AI marketing platform, used by 15% of the Fortune 500 including Comcast, Estée Lauder, and Walmart, and innovators like Ramp, MongoDB, and Figma. It is where marketing teams do the work: research, briefs, content, campaigns, reporting, all in one place, alongside agents that carry the load with them.

Built on 2B+ real user prompts and growing, Profound’s data shows you what people ask AI and what the models say back. Profound's AI Marketer joins that data with deep context about our customers to find the opportunities worth acting on, and then puts agents to work: automating reporting, drafting content, auditing pages for readability, running competitive research. It measures what works and gets better every day.

As Profound’s first Talent Engineer, you will build the tooling and automation infrastructure that powers how we hire. Part recruiting systems architect and part pipeline engineer, you will manufacture the tools that let every recruiter source better, move faster, and close more. Your work will directly shape how our Recruiting function scales.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

- Build AI-powered sourcing pipelines that identify and surface qualified candidates across LinkedIn, GitHub, job boards, and other relevant sources, calibrated to the profiles that matter most for each role

- Automate resume screening and skills matching against role-specific scorecards so recruiters spend their time on the candidates worth talking to

- Eliminate scheduling friction across the interview process through automated coordination and candidate status communications, so hiring moves without manual intervention

- Build pipeline analytics and reporting that give the recruiting team real-time visibility into hiring velocity, source quality, cost per hire, and time to fill

- Build an outbound recruiting motion that allows us to reach candidates directly and systematically, reducing reliance on external agencies

- Generate candidate briefs automatically before each interview so every recruiter walks into a screen with full context on the person they are about to meet

- Manufacture tools rather than operate them, building systems the recruiting team can run independently as they scale

WHO YOU ARE

- High-agency builder who approaches recruiting as a systems and data problem and can ship tooling that a recruiting team will actually adopt

- Technically fluent in Python or JavaScript, comfortable building integrations across ATS platforms, job boards, calendar systems, and communication tools

- AI-native thinker who defaults to automation and experiments with new approaches to sourcing, screening, and candidate communication

- Experience building recruiting or HR technology, ideally at a company that builds tools in that space

- Familiar with applicant tracking systems, sourcing platforms, and the operational workflows that sit around them

- Systems thinker who understands what a recruiter’s day actually looks like and builds accordingly

- Comfortable operating in ambiguity and building a function from scratch

LOCATION

This is an on-site role based in our Union Square, NYC office, designed for builders who thrive on speed, iteration, and meaningful impact.

Profound’s total compensation package is designed to be competitive and includes base salary, equity, and a full range of benefits and perks.

Our recruiting team will share more details about the full compensation package and benefits as you move through hiring.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
