About daydream
daydream is building the world’s best SEO agent, paired with the top 1% of human experts. We own organic search end-to-end, so customers don’t have to hire specialized teams, evaluate tools, or manage agencies.
Winning in search now requires producing expert-level content at scale and adapting continuously as ranking systems and user behavior change. Existing tools surface metrics without making decisions, and agencies depend on slow, manual workflows that don’t compound. Even well-resourced teams struggle to turn sustained effort into reliable growth.
daydream replaces fragmented tools and external vendors with a single system that plans and executes SEO continuously. The SEO agent handles analysis, planning, and generation, while experienced Growth Leads convert that work into shipped pages, technical fixes, and updated priorities, and remain accountable for performance over time.
We’ve raised over $20M from First Round Capital, Basis Set Ventures, WndrCo, and SOMA Capital, and are backed by growth leaders from Notion, Airtable, Webflow, and Dropbox, including Lenny Rachitsky and Eli Schwartz, author of Product-Led SEO.
The Team
You’ll work closely with a small, senior team that operates daydream’s SEO system end-to-end:
Applied AI Engineers, who build and evolve the SEO agent that generates plans, priorities, and materials
Staff and Backend Engineers, who own the core platform, execution infrastructure, and measurement systems
Design, who ensure content quality, structure, and presentation meet a high bar
Other Growth Leads, experienced SEO practitioners who share patterns, reviews, and operational context
You’ll also partner directly with founders, marketing leaders, and growth teams at customer companies. Internally, you are the owner of outcomes; externally, you are the accountable growth partner.
How you’ll make an impact

Use daydream’s SEO agent to prioritize work, generate content, and guide execution at scale
Ship pages, implement technical fixes (indexation, architecture, performance), and continuously update priorities based on results
