Retell AI is the leading enterprise Voice AI platform for call center automation. We help businesses deploy intelligent voice agents that handle millions of calls across healthcare, legal, insurance, logistics, and more.
We're looking for a Senior SEO/AEO Specialist who can own Retell's organic search presence from the ground up and make us the top result, not just on Google, but in AI-generated answers. You'll be the first dedicated SEO hire, which means you'll build the foundation, set the strategy, and execute it yourself.
This isn't a "manage the agency" role. We want someone who can write, ship, measure, and iterate fast.
Own and grow Retell's organic search channel end-to-end, including technical SEO, content strategy, and AI answer engine optimization (AEO). Set keyword and topical authority strategy across our core verticals: voice AI, call center automation, AI agents, and industry-specific terms. Produce and publish high-quality, search-optimized content targeting bottom-of-funnel and mid-funnel keywords. Optimize for LLM-generated answers across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and other AI surfaces. Conduct technical audits and work directly with engineering to resolve site speed, crawlability, and structured data issues. Build and track an SEO performance dashboard with clear leading and lagging indicators. Identify and pursue link-building and digital PR opportunities. Stay ahead of algorithm changes, AI search trends, and AEO best practices.
5+ years of experience in SEO, with at least 1 year focused on AEO or LLM search optimization. Proven track record of driving significant organic traffic growth at a B2B SaaS company. Deep fluency in technical SEO: Core Web Vitals, schema markup, crawl optimization, canonicalization. Strong content skills. You can write a compelling blog post and a well-structured landing page, not just write briefs for others. Experience with tools like Ahrefs, SEMrush, Search Console, Screaming Frog, and Looker/GA4. Familiarity with how LLMs retrieve and cite information, and how to optimize for that. Ability to work autonomously and prioritize without hand-holding. Experience leveraging AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.) to accelerate content production and research.
Experience in voice AI, conversational AI, or enterprise SaaS. Background in developer-focused or technical product marketing. Existing relationships with relevant publications or communities in the AI/CX space.
Huge organic opportunity in a category that's still being defined. Direct access to founders and the ability to shape strategy. Competitive salary, equity, and benefits. Fast-moving team that ships.
Retell AI is using the first principles to reimagine the call center with cutting edge voice AI.
Since launching 18 months ago, thousands of companies now utilize Retell’s AI voice agents to handle sales, support, and logistics calls that once required large teams of human agents. Backed by Y Combinator, Altman Capital, and other leading investors, we have scaled to $36M ARR with a team of 20 people, up from $5M at the start of 2025.
In 2026, We are expanding our vision to build a CX platform of the AI era where the entire contact center is reimagined as a team of AI employees. We are moving beyond mechanical automation that relies on human finetuning to instead transform core functions into intelligent, opinionated AI roles. Frontline agents, QA analysts, and managers now operate as distinct digital workers that serve as the new interface for customer experience. They execute, monitor, and improve continuously to create a system where software behaves like an organization.
We’re scaling fast, and we’re looking for bold, ambitious people to help us build the gold standard for voice automation. If you want to work on deeply technical challenges, move fast, and make an outsized impact at one of the fastest-growing Voice AI startups in the world, you’ll love it here.
Let’s build the future together.
