AI Search and Discovery Lead
About The Position
Modern Treasury provides trusted infrastructure for money movement. The company helps teams launch and scale payment experiences in days, not months. With best-in-class developer tools and a single API for fiat and stablecoins—plus built-in compliance, ledgering, and reporting—Modern Treasury enables businesses to move money instantly, reliably, and at scale. About the Role As money movement becomes more programmable, buyers increasingly need guidance on how to evaluate, architect, and operate payment infrastructure. Search and AI systems are becoming a critical part of that discovery journey. We’re hiring an SEO & AI Search Discovery Lead to help shape how the market discovers and evaluates Modern Treasury. This role is centered on what content we create, where it lives, and how it drives discovery across both traditional search and AI-native answer engines. You will define the topics, formats, and surfaces that make Modern Treasury the authoritative source on payment infrastructure, orchestration, and PSP architecture. That includes our owned content, the developer and operator communities where buyers gather (HackerNews, Reddit, etc.), and the third-party platforms (G2, TrustRadius, YouTube, etc) that LLMs and search engines treat as authority signals. Winning in 2026 means showing up authoritatively across all of these surfaces, not just on moderntreasury.com. You will partner closely with our design engineer, who supports technical SEO execution. Your job is to set the strategy and build the content, ecosystem, and authority standards. Their job is to make the platform deliver on them. This is an individual contributor role for someone who understands technical buyer journeys, infrastructure storytelling, content ecosystems, and how to win organic discovery in the AI era.
Requirements
- 6 to 8 years in SEO, content strategy, or organic growth, ideally at modern B2B SaaS, fintech, infrastructure, API, or developer-tool companies
- Proven track record growing qualified organic traffic and pipeline through content strategy, not just technical fixes
- Strong perspective on how search is evolving in the AI era, with hands-on experience or active experimentation in AEO
- Highly analytical, comfortable working in large datasets to identify trends, diagnose performance shifts, and quantify opportunity
- Hands-on experience with enterprise SEO tools such as Ahrefs, Profound, or similar
- Strong understanding of technical buyer journeys, including how developers, payment ops, and finance buyers evaluate infrastructure
- Ability to write. The senior IC bar at Modern Treasury includes shipping content, not just briefing it
Responsibilities
- Own AEO strategy across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews
- Map and optimize Modern Treasury's presence across the full LLM-ingested ecosystem (HackerNews, Reddit, G2, TrustRadius, YouTube etc.) to improve AI-driven discoverability and citation weight
- Define and own the topic cluster and authority map for Modern Treasury's core categories: payment orchestration, PSP architecture, ACH and RTP infrastructure, stablecoin rails, ledger systems, reconciliation, embedded payments, sub-account systems, multi-rail money movement
- Build evaluation content for technical and operational buyers, build vs. buy frameworks, comparison pages, architecture guides, implementation patterns
- Partner with founders, executives, and engineering SMEs to translate product and market shifts into authoritative content
- Own SEO and AEO performance analytics, connecting organic performance to pipeline and revenue
- Partner with a design engineer on technical SEO standards, schema, and structured data. You set the standard, they own execution.
