SEO / GEO / AEO Specialist

We are seeking an expert AI SEO / GEO / AEO Automation Engineer to design, build, and iterate a proprietary, 24/7 competitive intelligence and automated content engine. This is a highly technical, code-first role. We are not looking for a traditional SEO content writer, a basic keyword researcher, or someone who manually copies and pastes into ChatGPT. We need an engineer who can integrate advanced web scraping, competitor tracking, and LLM APIs into a seamless, automated marketing pipeline. The core objective is to build an internal system that continuously monitors our industry space, catches top competitor moves, generates automated drafts using advanced prompt engineering, and serves them up via an easy human-in-the-loop review interface. What We Need Built (The Scope) The 24/7 Scraping & Listening Bot (The Eyes): A Python-based automation script that continuously tracks target keyword shifts and monitors the top 20 websites in our niche. The moment a competitor drops a new article, the bot flags it and extracts the clean text/HTML. The LLM Pipeline & Context Engine (The Brains): Connect the scraped data to LLM APIs (specifically Anthropic’s Claude). You will build the pipeline to feed competitor content into Claude alongside our brand guidelines and USPs to generate a superior, highly optimized, non-commodity version. Human-in-the-Loop Approval Workflow: To avoid "AI garbage," the system must not auto-publish. We want a "Pull Request" style workflow. The engine should automatically format the content and stage it (via webhooks to our CMS or staging links), requiring only a one-click human review and approval to go live. Optimization for 2026 Engine Landscapes (GEO/AEO): The prompt architecture must ensure content wins visibility not just on legacy Google links, but inside AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity citations. Required Skills & Tech Stack Language: Expert-level Python. Scraping Frameworks: Deep experience with Scrapy, BeautifulSoup, Selenium, or Playwright (including managing proxy rotation and headless browsers). AI & LLM Integration: Hands-on experience with Anthropic (Claude) and OpenAI APIs, advanced prompt engineering, and RAG structures. Modern SEO Frameworks: Deep understanding of Technical SEO, Programmatic SEO, Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO). Workflow Automation: Experience setting up webhook-driven approval pipelines (pushing drafts to CMS platforms like WordPress/Webflow or triggers via Slack/GitHub). Project Timeline & Budget Duration: This is an intensive, milestone-driven project. We anticipate roughly 2 months of continuous tweaking, prompt engineering, and engineering iterations to fully refine the quality and targeting of the engine. Rate: $60.00 - $120.00 / hour (Dependent on experience and location). Expert Level only.
