About the role
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.

- Own the operation of your pipelines, investigate failures and data issues, and participate in the on-call rotation for critical workflows
- Partner with Data Platform engineers to improve shared tooling and make data workflows easier to build, deploy, and operate
Who you are
- Proven experience building and maintaining production data pipelines, integrations, and transformations
- Strong Python and SQL skills, with experience writing maintainable, tested production code
