What we're looking for • Expertise in enterprise-level technical SEO, with a track record of managing complex, multi-platform ecosystems with millions of pages. • Deep understanding of semantic search and web architecture, including JavaScript SEO, server-side rendering, and how different crawl behaviors affect both traditional and AI-driven search engines. • Proficiency in structured data and Schema.org, with the ability to leverage metadata to improve content clarity for search engines and LLMs alike. • Strong analytical skills to evaluate the business value of technical fixes, ensuring we prioritize work that directly supports Unity’s bottom line. • Exceptional communication skills, specifically the ability to explain the "why" behind technical SEO and AI visibility to stakeholders across engineering, product, and marketing. You might also have • Experience with AI-search diagnostic tools or a deep curiosity for the evolution of generative search and discovery. • A background in the developer tools or gaming industry, with an understanding of how technical audiences search for code, tutorials, and assets.
