Software Engineering (1)

Profound is on a mission to help companies understand and control their AI presence. We build AI agents for marketers, scaled from Seed to Series C in 15 months, and now count roughly 10% of the Fortune 500 among our customers. The pace we have set is the floor, not the ceiling. As a GTM Engineer focused on Pre-Sales and Outbound, you will build the infrastructure that powers every stage of our revenue pipeline. Part lead intelligence system and part outbound engine, you will capture every signal a prospect sends, qualify leads with precision, and make sure the right opportunity reaches the right rep at the right time. Your work will directly shape how our Sales function scales.

What you’ll do

Scope and map every path a prospect can take into Profound’s funnel, then build systems that capture, qualify, and route each one without manual intervention
Build intent scoring models that rank leads by genuine buying signal rather than raw activity volume, so reps spend their time on the accounts most likely to convert
Design automated routing logic across territory, company size, and rep capacity, handling edge cases cleanly so the system holds up on the hard days, not just the easy ones
Produce rep-ready outputs directly from the scoring pipeline, so reps start their day dialing rather than cleaning spreadsheets
Build outbound sequence automation that generates personalized messaging at scale, drawing on firmographic and behavioral data
Own the full technical stack across the pipeline, from data ingestion and enrichment through scoring, routing, and delivery, and design schemas that make the whole system maintainable as it grows
Experiment relentlessly with new platforms, APIs, and AI-native tools, staying ahead of what is possible in the ecosystem

Who you are

High-agency builder who can scope a messy, multi-source data problem, design a system to solve it, and ship something a sales team will actually trust and use
Technically fluent in Python or JavaScript, comfortable building automated pipelines, integrating APIs, and working across the full data stack
AI-native thinker who defaults to automation and experiments regularly with agents, MCP, and workflow frameworks
Pragmatic about build versus buy, knowing when to assemble from existing tools rather than build from scratch
Familiar with tools like Clay, Orum, Apollo, PhantomBuster, n8n, or similar sales and automation platforms
Experience with GTM workflows such as sales operations, revenue operations, or a technical role inside a sales organization
You have spent meaningful time inside a revenue organization and built things that people on the floor actually relied on, not as an observer but as a practitioner
Systems thinker who considers edge cases and failure modes from the start, not as an afterthought
Comfortable operating in ambiguity and structuring your own roadmap
