About Aurora
Aurora helps top engineers discover opportunities at some of the most ambitious startups worldwide. We work closely with companies to identify exceptional talent and match them with roles where they can have real impact. We are currently helping Profound expand their engineering team.
About Profound
Profound is building the foundational agentic layer for modern companies. Our Workflow Runner is the execution backbone that turns complex AI work into reliable, composable workflows. You will shape the core primitives, execution, scheduling, state, and streaming, that power intelligent systems at scale.
Why This Role
- Build core workflow engine primitives used to orchestrate agents, tools, and dataflows.
- Own the real-time control plane: streaming events, reliable job orchestration, idempotency, and replay.
- Ship high-leverage systems that turn prototypes into production-grade, scalable workflows.
What You’ll Do Looking to advance your Development & Programming career with relocation support? Explore Development & Programming Jobs with Relocation Packages that include comprehensive packages to help you move and settle in your new role.
- Design and ship Rust-first backend services and clean APIs for creating, executing, and supervising graph/DAG workflows.
- Build reliable job orchestration with multiple response modes (blocking, streaming, fire-and-forget) and durable state.
- Strengthen tenant isolation, security, and access patterns across the platform.
- Improve runtime behavior: scheduling, backpressure, timeouts, retries, and idempotency.
- Evolve schemas and repositories; own migrations, indexing, and query performance.
- Instrument with meaningful telemetry; raise the bar on testing and operational excellence.
- Partner closely with product, frontend, and data teams to deliver high-impact features.
Who You Are
- Strong portfolio or GitHub showing backend/system design depth.
- Proficient in a modern systems language (Rust ideal); comfortable owning services end-to-end in production.
- Solid with SQL and relational data modeling; hands-on with PostgreSQL.
- Experience with distributed systems patterns: messaging/streaming (Kafka or NATS), retries, idempotency, backpressure.
- Familiar with caching/state systems (e.g., Redis) and real-time delivery (SSE/WebSockets).
- Strong grasp of API authn/authz, multi-tenancy, and security best practices.
- Pragmatic, collaborative, and product-minded; thrive in a fast, in-person environment.
