Profound is on a mission to help companies understand and control their AI presence. We are hiring a Technical Operations Engineer to own the reliability, security, and scalability of our identity, endpoint, and IT infrastructure systems. You will work directly with our Engineering and Operations team to transform reactive IT support into proactive, automated systems that scale with our rapid growth.

This role is ideal for someone who sees IT operations as a strategic enabler of engineering velocity rather than just a support function. You will be based in our Union Square office, collaborating closely with colleagues in person and remotely across San Francisco, London, and Buenos Aires.

What You’ll Do

• Triage and resolve technical issues with a focus on automation and continuous improvement
• Manage and troubleshoot macOS devices and development environments at scale
• Trace root causes across complex, multi-system failures, including Google Workspace, MDM, and AWS
• Build runbooks, troubleshooting guides, and documentation that elevate team capabilities

• Partner with security to implement and maintain compliance controls
• Support rapid hiring by streamlining onboarding and provisioning processes
• Mentor future IT team members on troubleshooting methodology and systems thinking
  
  

Who You Are

• 2 or more years of experience in IT operations or technical support, ideally supporting engineering teams in high-growth SaaS or AI companies

• Multi-cloud support experience with AWS as primary and familiarity with GCP or Azure
• Network troubleshooting experience including DNS, VPNs, and routing
