Agent Engineer

Profound · San Francisco, CA · 2 mo ago
Engineering$140k–$200k/yrFull-time

What you’ll do

  • Work closely with customers to understand their goals, workflows, and AI visibility challenges
  • Translate ambiguous customer needs into concrete, agent-based use cases that deliver measurable business impact
  • Identify what should be built and why before focusing on how it should be implemented
  • Design agents such as AI visibility and competitor-ranking alerts, content gap identification workflows, content drafting workflows informed by AI visibility data, and agents that crawl and analyze existing content for optimization opportunities
  • Configure and build agents using Profound’s workflow platform by connecting nodes, APIs, data sources, and outputs
  • Rapidly prototype and deploy solutions directly with customers in a forward-deployed model
  • Own deployments end to end where possible, and clearly scope and hand off work to engineering when requirements exceed your technical depth
  • Serve as the primary post-sale partner for Agents customers during deployment
  • Turn successful customer deployments into repeatable patterns and internal best practices
  • Provide feedback to Product and Engineering on gaps, friction points, and roadmap priorities surfaced through customer work
  • Who you are

    • Experience in client-facing roles such as consulting, solutions, strategy, implementation, or customer success
    • Comfortable working with ambiguity and early-stage products
    • Strong problem-framing skills, with the ability to turn vague goals into concrete plans
    • Technical fluency without being a full-time engineer, including experience building with low-code or no-code tools, workflows, scripts, or APIs
    • Hands-on experimentation with AI tools, agents, or automation systems
    • Clear communicator who can translate effectively between customers and engineers
    • Enjoy being embedded with customers and owning outcomes end to end
    • Backgrounds such as strategy consultants with technical projects, solutions architects, forward-deployed engineers, or operators who have built scrappy internal tools are a strong fit
    • Experience with tools like Cursor or Claude Code is helpful but not required

    Location

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