# Career-Ops Profile -- Dual-Track Example (Engineer + Instructor) # # Fictional persona. Demonstrates how to configure a profile when you are # optimizing for TWO archetypes at the same time -- e.g. Senior AI Engineer # AND Senior Technical Instructor. See README.md in this folder for the # rationale and the interview-objection playbook. # # Copy this file to config/profile.yml and edit before using. candidate: full_name: "Sam Rivera" email: "sam@example.com" phone: "+00-000-0000000" # placeholder, replace with your real number location: "Berlin, Germany" linkedin: "linkedin.com/in/sam-rivera-example" portfolio_url: "https://sam-rivera.example.dev" github: "github.com/sam-rivera-example" twitter: "https://x.com/sam_rivera_example" target_roles: # North Star -- TWO primary tracks, not one. primary: - "Senior AI Engineer" - "Staff AI Engineer" - "Senior Technical Instructor (AI/ML)" - "Lead Curriculum Engineer" # Archetypes -- note: TWO entries with fit: primary. # The evaluator should pick whichever is closer to the JD at scoring time. archetypes: - name: "Senior AI Engineer" level: "Senior/Staff" fit: "primary" track: "engineering" sell_when: "JD emphasizes shipping production AI, agent infra, LangChain/LangGraph, eval systems, ownership of an AI subsystem" - name: "Senior Technical Instructor (AI/ML)" level: "Senior/Lead" fit: "primary" track: "teaching" sell_when: "JD emphasizes curriculum, cohort delivery, bootcamp/university lectureship, DevRel education, internal enablement, instructor-led training" - name: "AI DevRel Engineer" level: "Senior" fit: "secondary" track: "hybrid" sell_when: "JD wants someone who can ship demos, write docs, AND speak at events / run workshops -- the natural dual-track landing zone" - name: "Head of AI Education / Curriculum Lead" level: "Lead/Manager" fit: "secondary" track: "teaching" sell_when: "JD wants ownership of an entire curriculum, hiring + managing instructors, working with industry partners" - name: "Forward Deployed AI Engineer" level: "Senior" fit: "adjacent" track: "engineering" sell_when: "JD wants client-facing technical work, fast prototyping, customer enablement -- teaching skills become a differentiator here" narrative: # One-line headline.
