About the role

Profound is hiring its first Talent Engineer to build tooling and automation infrastructure for the recruiting function, enabling scalable sourcing, screening, scheduling, analytics, and candidate briefs.

Responsibilities

  • 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

Qualifications

  • 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
