Job description
We’re looking for someone who dreams in JSON-LD format and can serve as the technically-minded anchor of our search engine optimization team.
Did you learn Python as a second language and yearn for a major in APIs? Do you love microdata and fantasize about schema? Then our Technical SEO Specialist might be the job for you.
We’re looking for someone who can serve as the technically minded anchor of our Search Engine Optimization team. The right candidate has a holistic understanding of what makes a successful SEO campaign, but enjoys the technical aspects of SEO the most: a deep knowledge of search engine algorithms, experience putting together detailed site audits, and the ability to make a wide variety of on-site implementations using HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP and/or other programming languages.
We don’t care about how many years of experience you have, just what you’ve done and what you’re capable of doing. We also appreciate a good sense of humor.
