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
LocationThis is an on-site role based in our Union Square, NYC office, designed for builders who thrive on speed, iteration, and meaningful impact.
For this role, the expected base salary range is $130,000 to $200,000. Profound's total compensation package is designed to be competitive and includes base salary, equity, and a full range of benefits and perks. Final compensation will depend on factors such as your skills, experience, qualifications, and location, and will be determined during the interview process. Our recruiting team will share more details about the full compensation package and benefits as you move through hiring.
