About the job

About daydream

At daydream, we are revolutionizing the SEO landscape by developing the world's most advanced SEO agent, complemented by a team of top 1% human experts. Our goal is to manage organic search intricately, freeing our clients from the burdens of hiring specialized teams, evaluating multiple tools, or managing external agencies.

In today's competitive environment, excelling in search demands the production of expert-level content at scale, alongside constant adaptation to shifts in ranking systems and user behavior. Traditional tools merely provide metrics without actionable insights, while agencies rely on cumbersome manual workflows that fail to generate compounding growth. Even well-resourced teams often find it challenging to translate sustained efforts into consistent results.

daydream simplifies this landscape by consolidating fragmented tools and external vendors into a single coherent system that continuously plans and executes SEO strategies. Our SEO agent takes charge of analysis, planning, and content generation, while seasoned Growth Leads translate this work into actionable outputs—shipped pages, technical adjustments, and updated priorities—holding accountability for performance over time.

We have successfully raised over $20M from notable investors including First Round Capital, Basis Set Ventures, WndrCo, and SOMA Capital, and our growth is supported by industry leaders from Notion, Airtable, Webflow, and Dropbox, such as Lenny Rachitsky and Eli Schwartz, author of Product-Led SEO.

The Team

You will collaborate closely with a dedicated, senior team across engineering, design, and growth:

  • Shravan (CTO), who previously served as an Engineering Lead at Flixed and a Software Engineer at Facebook, focusing on large-scale web scraping for Facebook Jobs and Meta Reality Labs.

  • Vishruth (Founding Applied AI Engineer), a former Data Scientist at Klaviyo specializing in NLP, with a robust research background from Cornell.

  • Daniel (Founding Applied AI Engineer), who previously worked as a Data Engineer on Tesla’s Autopilot team, specializing in large-scale data systems and applied machine learning, and was formerly the Lead Data Engineer at Replit.

  • Tom (Founding Designer), who led product design at Blockless and plays a significant role in UI engineering.

You will also interact directly with Growth Leads, senior SEO practitioners who manage the system daily and provide invaluable feedback on AI performance in real-world applications.

Your Impact

In your role as a Staff Engineer at daydream, you will provide vital technical leadership across the product while remaining deeply engaged in hands-on execution. You will closely collaborate with the CTO to define system architecture, guide project execution, and elevate quality standards throughout the engineering organization.
