Jobbeschreibung

Profound is the marketing platform for the age of AI search. The way brands reach people is being rewritten — AI models like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Mode are now the answer layer between companies and their customers. We built the platform marketers use to understand, measure, and win in that world: the analytics, intelligence, and agent automation that turn AI search from a threat into a competitive advantage.

We went from 0 to a $1B valuation in 18 months. Revenue grew 100x last year. Our customers include 15% of the Fortune 500 like Walmart, Wayfair and U.S. Bank, and innovators like Ramp, MongoDB, and Figma. We are backed by Sequoia, Kleiner Perkins, LSVP, and Khosla Ventures — and we are moving fast enough that the people joining now are building the playbook everyone who comes after them will run.

Design engineering is core to how we build at Profound. Our founder, Dylan Babbs, started his career as a design engineer, and we hold a high bar for craft, taste, and execution. As a Design Engineer, you will work between design and engineering by shipping high-quality, highly polished experiences across our product and, at times, our marketing surfaces.

What you’ll do

• Build and ship polished, production-quality UI across our core product or marketing site

• Partner with product designers, product managers, and engineers to translate intent into precise, high-fidelity implementations

• Craft UI details including layouts, typography, responsiveness, motion, and micro-interactions using Tailwind CSS

• Contribute occasionally to the marketing site and logged-out experiences while maintaining the same bar for quality and performance

• Contribute to shared UI foundations including components, patterns, and design tokens

• Work across the stack using React, Next.js, and TypeScript to deliver fast, reliable interfaces

• Optimize for performance, accessibility, and maintainability without compromising on design

• Raise the bar for frontend craft through code reviews, critiques, and shared standards

Who you are

• Strong experience with React, Next.js, Tailwind, and TypeScript in production environments

• Exceptional CSS skills with a proven ability to build pixel-perfect, resilient user interfaces

• Strong eye for design and interaction with taste you can both defend and implement

• Comfortable owning work end to end from early exploration through shipped code

• Experience working closely with designers and engineers in fast-moving product teams

• Portfolio that demonstrates high-craft frontend or design engineering work

• Thrive in a startup environment that values speed, iteration, and quality

• Enjoy experimenting and working on side projects to stay current with leading edge technologies

• Strong product thinking and builder mindset, comfortable working across design, product, and engineering to ship work

• Can just do things

Note from our co-founder

In the evolving landscape of product development, exceptional design is not merely a nice-to-have, it is foundational. As software engineering becomes increasingly accessible, it is taste, creativity, and thoughtful execution that differentiate outstanding products from the rest.

I believe deeply that design sits at the core of our success. At Profound, my goal is to build a design team renowned for setting a new standard of excellence, crafting experiences so compelling they become benchmarks in our industry.

If you are someone who believes in the transformative power of great design and wants to create work that genuinely shapes the future, join us. Let’s redefine what’s possible together.
