Forward Deployed Marketing Engineer

Profound is the fastest-growing AI marketing platform, used by 15% of the Fortune 500 including Comcast, Estée Lauder, and Walmart, and innovators like Ramp, MongoDB, and Figma. It is where marketing teams do the work: research, briefs, content, campaigns, reporting, all in one place, alongside agents that carry the load with them.

Built on 2B+ real user prompts and growing, Profound’s data shows you what people ask AI and what the models say back. Profound's AI Marketer joins that data with deep context about our customers to find the opportunities worth acting on, and then puts agents to work: automating reporting, drafting content, auditing pages for readability, running competitive research. It measures what works and gets better every day.

We named this role. In April 2026, at Zero Click San Francisco, Profound introduced a new role to the marketing org: the Marketing Engineer. A marketer who went deep on building, who looks at a manual process and sees a system. Since then, marketers everywhere have told us they finally have a name for what they do, companies like Google and Figma have started hiring for it, and hundreds have been certified through Profound University. Read the Marketing Engineer manifesto, hear from practitioners on the Marketing Engineer podcast, or read our Founding Marketing Engineer's first-hand take on the role.

Now we’re building the team that brings Marketing Engineering to the world’s biggest brands and our agency and consulting partners. As a Forward Deployed Marketing Engineer, you’ll embed with customer teams, often onsite, to understand their marketing work, identify where Profound can help, and build workflows that become part of everyday delivery. You’ll combine marketing judgment with deep product knowledge to help teams produce better work and use Profound confidently.

Here's what makes this role different: shipping the build doesn't finish the job. You’ll work alongside customers on real marketing tasks - researching competitors, developing briefs, creating content and reporting on performance. You’ll help teams get useful results from Profound, improve the quality of their work and build the skills to use it independently.

What you'll do

• Be forward deployed. Work alongside customer marketing teams, onsite regularly. Join planning meetings, review briefs and campaigns, and use Profound with the people doing the work.
