Technical SEO Lead

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Poland.

📋 Description

• Diagnose and resolve technical issues.

• - Conduct ongoing technical audits across Hostinger's extensive, multilingual website, managing the entire fix process from start to finish, not just addressing the ticket.

• - Oversee both pre- and post-migration audits for domain changes, re-platforming, URL restructuring, and any CMS or framework adjustments.

• - Analyze performance irregularities (such as traffic declines, ranking fluctuations, and crawling problems) and address them promptly to prevent escalation.

• Own the strategic roadmap.

• - Develop and steer the technical SEO roadmap, prioritizing initiatives based on commercial impact and aligning with Product and Engineering planning cycles.

• - Integrate SEO quality assurance into pre- and post-launch processes: review staging environments, avert regressions, and identify issues before they impact rankings.

• - Create a compelling business case for technical SEO projects, taking full ownership of the impact, effort, and prioritization rationale from start to finish.

• Build scalable solutions.

• - Design and implement technical SEO automations: monitoring indexability, validating sitemaps, checking hreflang, and overseeing redirects using GSC API, DataForSEO MCP, and n8n.

• - Maintain documentation for technical SEO best practices, ensuring that Directly Responsible Individuals (DRIs) across SEO, Content, and Localization enforce consistent standards without the need to reinvent them.

• - Conduct technical SEO split tests and provide guidance on methodologies for broader specialist testing initiatives.

• Stay proactive.

• - Ensure Hostinger's technical preparedness for AI-driven discovery, including structured data for LLM citations, AI bot crawlability, and monitoring AI crawlers' access to content at scale.

• - Communicate technical achievements in terms that matter to stakeholders — for instance, not just "fixed 847 crawl errors," but rather "we unlocked X pages that were hindering organic traffic to [product]."

⛳️ Requirements

• Over 5 years of practical experience in technical SEO on large, complex websites, with a proven ability to diagnose significant issues and implement effective solutions.

• Experience with multi-locale SEO on a large scale.

• Profound knowledge across the entire technical stack: crawlability, indexation, site architecture, structured data, Core Web Vitals, JS rendering, hreflang, and multilingual SEO.

• Proven experience leading pre- and post-migration audits — understanding what fails, the reasons behind those failures, and how to prevent them.

• A business-oriented mindset: you prioritize tasks based on business impact, link technical work to customer acquisition and revenue, and always provide a "so what" with your findings.

• Comfortable collaborating with engineering teams — able to scope out tickets, validate fixes, and communicate trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders seamlessly.

• Experience in developing technical SEO automations using Python, API integrations, or workflow tools; you aim to minimize manual workload rather than accept it.

• Proficient with essential tools: GSC, Screaming Frog, Ahrefs, Lumar, or Botif.
