About OptimizeGEO

OptimizeGEO.ai is our flagship product that helps brands stay visible and discoverable in AI-powered answers. Unlike traditional SEO that optimizes for keywords and rankings, OptimizeGEO operationalizes GEO principles ensuring brands are mentioned, cited, and trusted by generative systems (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, etc.) and answer engines (featured snippets, voice search, and AI answer boxes).

Founded by industry veterans Kirthiga Reddy (ex-Meta, MD Facebook India) and Saurabh Doshi (ex-Meta, ex-Viacom), Company is backed by Micron Ventures, Better Capital, FalconX, and leading angels including Randi Zuckerberg, Vani Kola and Harsh Jain.

Role Overview

We are hiring a Senior Backend Engineer to build the data and services layer that powers OptimizeGEO’s analytics, scoring, and reporting. This role partners closely with our GEO/AEO domain experts and data teams to translate framework gap analysis, share-of-voice, entity/knowledge-graph coverage, trust signals into scalable backend systems and APIs.

You will design secure, reliable, and observable services that ingest heterogeneous web and third-party data, compute metrics, and surface actionable insights to customers via dashboards and reports.

Key Responsibilities

• Own backend services for data ingestion, processing, and aggregation across crawlers, public APIs, search consoles, analytics tools, and third-party datasets.
• Operationalize GEO/AEO metrics (visibility scores, coverage maps, entity health, citation/trust signals, competitor benchmarks) as versioned, testable algorithms.
• Data Scaping using various tools and working on volume estimates for accurate consumer insights for brands
• Design & implement APIs for internal use (data science, frontend) and external consumption (partner/export endpoints), with clear SLAs and quotas.
• Data pipelines & orchestration: batch and incremental jobs, queueing, retries/backoff, idempotency, and cost-aware scaling.
• Storage & modeling: choose fit-for-purpose datastores (OLTP/OLAP), schema design, indexing/partitioning, lineage, and retention.
• Observability & reliability: logging, tracing, metrics, alerting; SLOs for freshness and accuracy; incident response playbooks.
• Security & compliance: authN/authZ, secrets management, encryption, PII governance, vendor integrations.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with domain experts to convert research into productized features and executive-grade reports.

Required Qualification (Must Have)

• Familiarity with technical SEO artifacts: schema.org/structured data, E-E-A-T, entity/knowledge-graph concepts, and crawl budgets.
• Exposure to AEO/GEO and how LLMs weigh sources, citations, and trust; awareness of hallucination risks and mitigation.
• Experience integrating SEO/analytics tools (Google Search Console, Ahrefs, SEMrush, Similarweb, Screaming Frog) and interpreting their data models.
• Background in digital PR/reputation signals and local/international SEO considerations.
• Comfort working with analysts to co-define KPIs and build executive-level reporting.

Expected Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience building backend systems in production (startups or high-growth product teams preferred).
• Proficiency in one or more of: Python, Node.js/TypeScript, Go, or Java.
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure) and containerized deployment (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Hands-on with data pipelines (Airflow/Prefect, Kafka/PubSub, Spark/Flink or equivalent) and REST/GraphQL API design.
• Strong grounding in systems design, scalability, reliability, and cost/performance trade-offs.

Tooling & Stack (Illustrative)

• Runtime: Python/TypeScript/Go
• Data: Postgres/BigQuery + object storage (S3/GCS)
• Pipelines: Airflow/Prefect, Kafka/PubSub
• Infra: AWS/GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform
