## About the role

Built on 2B+ real user prompts and growing, Profound’s data shows you what people ask AI and what the models say back.

It measures what works and gets better every day.

- Systems thinker who finds broken processes genuinely interesting and approaches them by mapping the full picture before touching anything
- Analytical and data-driven , able to build dashboards from scratch and translate recruiting data into decisions, not just reports
- Deep ATS fluency: you've configured and optimized ATS platforms, not just used them, and you know how to get them to do things most people don't
