About the opportunity: We are looking for a forward-thinking Technical SEO & Schema Engineer to help us pioneer the next frontier of search: Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). We are seeking a highly curious professional to lead our Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Knowledge Graph strategy. Unlike traditional SEO roles that focus on ranking links, this position is dedicated to ensuring our clients' data is accurately ingested, understood, and recommended by Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI search engines (e.g., ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google SGE). Key Responsibilities • Schema & Structured Data: Architect and implement advanced JSON-LD, entity mapping, and program-level schema to ensure search engines and LLMs clearly understand client content. • Knowledge Graph Optimization: Build and manage digital entities to increase the likelihood of inclusion in AI-generated responses and Knowledge Panels. • Technical Implementation: Work within CMS environments (primarily WordPress) to execute technical optimizations, including site architecture and code-level enhancements. • AI Search Strategy: Research and stay ahead of the curve on how Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Google Gemini scrape and cite data. • Internal Collaboration: Act as the technical "engine" for our SEO and content teams.

Core Competencies • Intellectual Curiosity: You are a self-starter who loves "figuring out" new technology before there is a manual for it. • Thorough Communication: While this is a non-client-facing role, you must be able to communicate complex technical needs clearly to the internal team.
