Job description

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 is foundational to our product and our company. As a Product Designer at Profound, you will work on our core data visualization and content workflow tools. This is an opportunity to have deep ownership over our product and ship fast and ship often, while continuing to craft the experience for our users.

What you’ll do

• Design core product experiences end to end, from early exploration through launch and iteration

• Work closely with product managers and engineers to translate strategy and ambiguous problems into clear, thoughtful solutions

• Explore multiple directions quickly through sketches, flows, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs

• Sweat the details and fine tune layout shifts, typography, spacing, motion, and interactions

• Balance building good product focused on user needs, technical constraints, and business goals while keeping a high bar for craft

• Use user feedback, qualitative insights, and product intuition to refine and improve the product over time

• Contribute to and help evolve Profound’s design language, systems, and product vision

• Participate in Tuesday and Thursday design critiques to give and receive feedback on in-progress design work

Who you are

• You have 3 or more years of experience designing digital products, ideally in a startup or fast-moving product company

• You are a strong generalist with taste and are comfortable owning the full stack of design assets, from flows to pixels to final product

• You care deeply about craft and believe great design is defined by clarity, simplicity, and execution

• You bring an entrepreneurial and product-thinking mindset to design

• You like to experiment with AI, new tools, and ways of working, whether through new Figma plugins or tools such as v0, Cursor, or other prototyping tools

• You are good at collaborating with product managers, engineers, and data scientists to solve problems

• You have a portfolio that shows thoughtful problem-solving and high-quality visual design

• Experience working on a data visualization or B2B marketing product

• Enjoy prototyping directly in code and shipping directly to production using git and GitHub

• Blur the lines between where design ends and product or engineering work begins

• You 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.
