About the Role
We are seeking a Senior Search Systems Engineer to build the intelligence and automation layer for our marketing and AI visibility data. This role transforms structured data into decision frameworks, automated insights, and applied AI workflows to enhance brand performance in AI-driven discovery environments. It acts as a crucial link between SEO and AEO strategy, analytics, and technical data implementation.
Responsibilities
- Define data, instrumentation, and custom dimensions for SEO, AI visibility, content performance, and entity-level analysis.
- Partner with SQL developers, analytics engineers, and BI teams to operationalize scalable datasets, transformation logic, reporting tables, and analytical data models.
- Shape ingestion and normalization strategies for search, behavioral, content, and AI visibility datasets across various platforms.
- Ensure data quality, consistency, and governance across SEO and AI visibility reporting systems.
- Validate metric definitions, transformation logic, and analytical outputs.
- Translate ambiguous business questions and SEO hypotheses into structured technical requirements.
- Define analytical frameworks and scoring logic for evaluating brand visibility, entity coverage, content performance, and competitive presence.
- Develop monitoring and alerting systems for shifts in search visibility, AI model behavior, or competitive movement.
- Build and maintain automation, prioritization models, and agent-like systems for actionable recommendations.
- Translate marketing strategies into scalable technical implementations, including rule-based systems, experimentation frameworks, and applied AI workflows.
- Prototype and evaluate emerging tools, APIs, and frameworks related to LLM analysis, AI agents, search intelligence, and marketing automation.
- Partner with cross-functional teams to embed search intelligence systems and AI-driven insights into workflows.
- Document system logic, assumptions, frameworks, and operational processes for scalability and maintainability.
Requirements
- 7+ years of experience in software engineering, applied analytics, search systems, or technical marketing roles.
- Experience partnering with data engineering or analytics engineering teams to define transformation logic, data models, instrumentation requirements, and reporting outputs.
- Strong understanding of marketing and analytics data architecture, including event-level data, custom dimensions, warehouse modeling, and reporting layer design.
- Experience working with APIs, structured datasets, and large-scale analytical environments (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery).
- Strong proficiency in Python, SQL, or similar languages for building durable systems.
- Experience designing analytical or decision systems downstream of a data warehouse.
- Deep familiarity with search, discovery, or ranking systems (traditional or AI-driven).
- Hands-on experience evaluating, prototyping, or productionizing AI-driven workflows, LLM-based systems, or agent-like architectures.
- Ability to translate analytical needs into scalable data and systems requirements.
- Demonstrated experience operating in ambiguous problem spaces.
- Proven ability to influence cross-functional partners by explaining technical tradeoffs clearly.
