Search & AI Discoverability Lead
Cognition · New York City
About this role
## Search & AI Discoverability Lead ### About the team We’re an applied AI lab building end-to-end software agents—makers of **Devin**, the first AI software engineer. Our team is highly talent-dense, and we’re tackling the next hardest challenges in AI reasoning on real-world tasks. ### Role mission Developers research before they buy. Some of that still happens on Google—more of it now happens by asking AI assistants (ChatGPT, Claude, coding agents) and by searching across **YouTube, Reddit, GitHub, and X**. You’ll own how people and agents find **Devin** and **Cognition**, including: - **Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)** for the best AI assistants and agents - **Organic search** across every platform where developers look - **Technical SEO** - **Content strategy** and **programmatic pages** You’ll work directly with the web engineering team to ship, and you’ll be measured on: - How often we show up - The organic traffic that follows - The signups it produces ### What you’ll accomplish - **Set the roadmap:** Decide which questions, topics, and platforms matter most across **devin.ai** and **cognition.ai**, prioritized by what drives signups. - **Win in AI answers:** Learn how leading assistants/agents choose and cite sources, and make Cognition the answer they give for AI coding questions. - **Show up on every platform:** Google, YouTube, Reddit, GitHub, X, and wherever else developers search—creating platform-specific content. - **Fix the technical foundation:** Improve site structure, performance, crawlability, and content that both crawlers and agents can read (with web engineering). - **Build programmatic pages:** Create pages that answer real questions and convert—not just rank. - **Report clearly:** Track and explain AI-answer visibility, rankings, organic traffic, and signups. ### Exceptional candidates have demonstrated - **Discoverability results:** You’ve improved a product’s findability in search/AI answers/other platforms and can show before-and-after impact. - **Technical ability:** You can read a site crawl, write a clear spec, and collaborate effectively with engineers. - **Writing & editing:** You can write or edit content developers trust. - **Real experiments in AI search:** You’ve tested what changes how AI assistants/agents answer and can distinguish proven outcomes from hypotheses. - **Hands-on preference:** You like doing the work yourself. We value demonstrated capability over years of experience. ### Resources & environment - Two domains with real authority and untapped demand - Direct access to web engineering and content teams - Small team with minimal process ### Commitment - **Equal Opportunity:** Cognition is an equal opportunity employer and provides reasonable accommodations. - **Fair Chance:** Cognition considers applicants with criminal histories consistent with the SF Fair Chance Ordinance and similar local laws. - **Privacy & Arbitration:** By applying, you agree to the Global Applicant and Job Candidate Privacy Notice and (for US applicants) the Applicant Arbitration Agreement.
