Job description

In comparison to most SEO jobs, this role will be uniquely focused on a much wider scope of responsibility. Your day-to-day responsibilities will sit squarely at the intersection of SEO, growth marketing, and product.

Ownership Areas

Formulating pSEO strategies for customers: As our dedicated in-house SEO expert, you’ll work with clients like Notion, Product Hunt and others to formulate thoughtful and well-researched programmatic SEO strategies.

Performance monitoring & reporting: You’ll be responsible for monitoring how our customers are doing, delivering performance reports, and course-correcting strategy accordingly.

Creating content using daydream: You’ll become an expert in prompt engineering, leveraging the daydream product to create high quality content for customers as they scale.

1 month

Build context: You’ll get to know Thenuka, Wesley, Shravan and the rest of the team as you familiarize yourself with the product, and the needs of our customers.

Learn the product: We believe that it’s important for everyone on the team to understand our product well. So, soon after you join, you’ll work with Thenuka to create and deliver content to a real customer using daydream.

Create strategy roadmaps for all of our early design partners: You’ll meet each customer, build 3 to 6 month strategy roadmaps, and be a primary point of contact for all of our existing design partners.

3 months

Onboard new customers: You’ll sit on sales calls with our CEO, deeply understand the needs of new customers, and formulate proposals for each of them afterwards. After they’ve signed, you’ll work hand-in-hand with them to ensure their experience with using daydream is successful.

Be a bridge between customers and product: As someone close to our customers, you’ll work closely with product & engineering to translate the needs of customers into ideas for our product roadmap.

Iterate, and improve on our customer journey: You’ll work closely with our CEO to streamline the process from connecting with prospective customers, to signing them, to supporting them after they’ve joined.

6-9 months

Support new hires: As a fast growing company, we will likely expand our team further in 6-9 months. You’ll help onboard new hires and help them get up to speed with daydream.

This role is fully in-person in San Francisco. No remote work!

daydream is a SaaS product that identifies search patterns, creates content at scale, and automatically improves that content.

The Problem we’re trying to solve

Heads of Growth love programmatic SEO. It’s the secret growth playbook used by companies like Zapier, Canva, to acquire millions of visitors. The problem is, building a pSEO engine currently requires work from SEO analysts, content marketers, software engineers, data scientists and others. As a result, it’s logistically complicated and expensive. You can hire specialized agencies, but they cost $50K+ per month.

How we’re solving this problem

daydream is building a SaaS platform that automates every piece of building a programmatic SEO engine. Everything from identifying search queries, to producing 90th percentile quality content at scale, all the way to automatically updating that content.

Demand for daydream is growing fast as our ARR continues to increase rapidly each month since the inception of our company, all before launching a generally available product. This is exciting, but it also means we need to hire to build product faster and meet the demand. We’re looking for a talent that’s excited to work with LLMs to serve one of the biggest markets in the world.

Team Background

Thenuka (CEO and co-founder): Thenuka was previously the founder and CEO at Flixed, which he bootstrapped to $2M+ in revenue almost exclusively using programmatic SEO. Prior to that he was an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Hustle Fund and Chief of Staff to the COO at Pango, a cybersecurity company with $100M+ in annual revenue.

Shravan (CTO and co-founder): Shravan was previously an Engineering Lead at Flixed. Before that, Shravan worked as a Software Engineer at Meta for three years, where he worked on mass-scale web scraping for Facebook’s Jobs product, and Meta Reality Labs.

Wesley (Chief of Staff): Prior to becoming Chief of Staff at daydream, Wesley spearheaded growth initiatives at Hustle Fund’s Angel Squad. Initially, he joined the team as a growth intern (thanks to Thenuka) and rapidly transitioned to a full-time position in three months.

The People and Environment

Here are three key elements of our culture:

Push the pace: No sandbagging allowed! Everyone at daydream is expected to proactively identify when a particular goal can be met faster, and to push for acceleration.

A real example of how this value has been applied — we initially thought we would hit a certain revenue milestone within 1 year. We realized we can do it in half the time, so we shortened our timeline to hit that goal to 5 months instead.

Build something you’re proud of: Speed of execution is important, but only if it’s in service of delivering a delightful experience to the customer. We want you to look back at what you’ve built at daydream and feel a deep sense of satisfaction.

A real example of how this value has been applied — In the past, we’ve prioritized “wowing” the customer at each release of daydream, even at the earliest phases. Speed is no excuse for delivering a poor experience.

Five star customer service only: The bar for customer service at daydream is always exceeding the customer’s expectations. It is not “meeting” the customer’s expectations.

A real example of how this value has been applied — We’ve had situations where the customer is unintentionally moving slower than is possible with their SEO strategy. In these situations, we’ve proactively encouraged the customer to move faster.
