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
- 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
