They are on a mission to help companies understand and control their AI presence.
They just closed a $35M Series B led by Sequoia Capital to build the platform companies rely on to understand and control their AI presence—pioneering Answer Engine Optimization and marketing to superintelligence.
They have also raised a $96 million Series C at a $1B valuation (unicorn status). The round was led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, with continued participation from Sequoia Capital, Kleiner Perkins, Evantic, Saga Ventures, and South Park Commons. This brings total funding to over $155M in under 18 months.
Build and refine high-quality user interfaces from low-fidelity wireframes.
Implement precise CSS to create pixel-perfect experiences.

Hands-on experience with CSS animations, transitions, and layout techniques to create smooth, engaging interfaces.
A strong portfolio showcasing high-quality front-end development work.
A keen eye for design, detail, and user experience, ensuring seamless interactions.
Comfortable in a fast-paced, high-performance startup environment, iterating quickly on new ideas.

Proven ability to lead large-scale migrations to Next.js, designing and implementing solutions that make full use of its strengths.
Deep understanding of caching mechanisms and CDN integrations to enhance the performance and scalability of Next.js applications worldwide.
Experience implementing sophisticated internationalization (i18n) and localization (l10n) strategies for global user bases in Next.js projects.
Practical experience working with React Server Components, successfully integrating them into production applications for improved performance and maintainability.
This is an on-site role in the office — designed for builders who thrive on speed, iteration, and impact.
