Job Description

daydream is a platform that automates programmatic SEO, end-to-end.

The platform helps businesses identify search patterns, creates content at scale, and automatically improves that content.

We've raised >$2M from leading investors like Basis Set Ventures, WndrCo, SOMA Capital and current and former Heads of Growth/Product Growth at companies like Notion, Airtable, Webflow and Dropbox. We're on a high-growth trajectory and we're looking for people who want to join us on the journey to building a billion-dollar company.

Our team previously worked together at Flixed, a startup we bootstrapped to $2M+ in revenue almost purely on the back of programmatic SEO.

The problem we're trying to solve

Heads of Growth love programmatic SEO. It’s the secret growth playbook used by companies like Zapier and 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 has already doubled 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 senior engineers that are excited to work with LLMs to serve one of the biggest markets in the world.

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.

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.

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.

The people you’ll be working with

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

Wesley (Chief of Staff): Wesley previously spearheaded growth initiatives at Hustle Fund’s Angel Squad, and before that, worked at Montage Partners. Additionally, he ran his own consulting business focusing on audience growth.

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.

Teach customers how to use daydream : You'll teach daydream's customers how to use our product to service their use cases.

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 to our codebase and support them while they ramp up.

The compensation for this role is $125K - $150K per year with generous equity in daydream. We usually prefer to have a full-time or part-time contract period before going straight to a full-time W-2 role.
