About us

BrightSense is building technology for the AI age. Its first product is Branly, an AI visibility platform.

How people discover brands has changed. More and more, they ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Google's AI answers what to buy, and those answers name only a handful of brands. Branly shows a brand how often it appears in those answers, how it is described and which sources the engines rely on. Then it turns every gap into a specific fix the brand can act on.

Three things shape how we work:

- Grounded in research. AI search changes every week. We study how each engine finds, trusts and cites its sources, and we keep our methods in step with what the engines do today.
- Signal over noise. We start from the real questions buyers ask, in their own words. We run them repeatedly across every major engine and read the answers over time, so what we show is a pattern, not a one-off.
- Customer first. We learn each customer's category, competitors and goals, then stay alongside them until the work shows up as growth.

The role

We are hiring a Manager or Senior Manager, SEO and AEO, to own how Branly is found in Google and in AI answers.

You will run the programme end to end, hands on: the strategy, the technical foundations, the content roadmap with our content team, and the numbers that show what is working. You will also have Branly itself to work with, so you can see, prompt by prompt, how AI engines treat our site. What you learn will not stay with our website. It will shape what Branly tells marketers about winning in AI search.

Location: On-site, Delhi NCR or Bangalore. You will report to the founding team.

What you will do

- SEO and AEO strategy. Own Branly's search programme end to end: technical SEO, on-page optimisation, content, internal linking and authority building.
- Technical SEO. Lead site architecture, structured data and schema, Core Web Vitals, and crawl and indexing health. Guide our engineers on implementation and measure the impact of each change.
- AI search visibility. Build Branly's AEO strategy:



answer-first content, entity and semantic reinforcement, and schema that helps engines read and cite us, to earn a place in Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude.
- Ready for AI crawlers. Keep branly.ai readable for the way AI crawlers work today: crawler access, llms.txt, plain-markdown pages built for LLMs, and the formats that come next.
- Research and mapping. Run keyword research, entity mapping and intent analysis across both search queries and AI prompts. Size the prospect, and build the keyword and content maps that drive the roadmap.
- Authority and citations. Find the sources Google and AI engines trust in our category, and earn Branly a place in them through links, mentions, listings and partnerships.
- Performance tracking. Track classic metrics (rankings, clicks, impressions) alongside AI search metrics (citation frequency, share of voice, AI referral traffic). Spot trends early and recommend what to do next.
- Reporting and attribution. Build dashboards and reports that tell a clear story. Work with engineering on tracking so organic and AI search tie back to sign-ups, demo requests and pipeline.
- AI-powered workflows. Evaluate and roll out AI tools, including Claude Code and Codex, to scale research, audits and content production.
- Cross-functional partnership. Work closely with our content strategist, engineering, sales and product. Feed what you learn back into Branly as one of its most expert users.

Who you are

- 2 to 6 years of hands-on SEO, with clear ownership of organic traffic, rankings and pipeline. We will set the level, Manager or Senior Manager, by your experience.
- Deep technical SEO: site architecture,



structured data, Core Web Vitals, crawl efficiency and indexing. You can guide developers through implementation and measure the result.
- Hands-on AEO experience. You have built a strategy for AI answer engines and measured it through citations, share of brand mentions and AI referral traffic.
- A hands-on individual contributor who owns a programme end to end and works with content and engineering to ship it.
- Robust keyword and content instincts: keyword research, intent analysis and content gap analysis that shape an editorial roadmap.
- You build dashboards and performance stories that people act on, and you are comfortable owning tracking and attribution.
- At home with AI tools in SEO and content workflows, including Claude Code or Codex.
- A clear communicator who works well across content, engineering, product and sales.

Bonus points

- Experience in B2B SaaS, vertical SaaS or multi-location businesses.
- Hands-on with AI visibility or citation-tracking tools.
- International or multi-region SEO experience.
- Experience with reporting platforms such as Looker, Looker Studio or Sigma.

What it is like working with us

- Build in one of marketing's most in-demand categories. Every brand now wants to know how AI talks about it. You will help shape the company leading that conversation, at the moment it matters most.
- High ownership, high visibility. You will work side by side with the founders. Your calls ship fast, and everyone sees what they move.
- A strategic seat at the table. You will help shape how Branly goes to market, and what it tells its customers about search.
- Learn from founders who have scaled before. You will work closely with a team that has led and grown operations across industries.
- Competitive pay and real equity. A market-competitive salary and meaningful equity, so you share in what you help build.
- Grow as fast as we do. Your scope grows with Branly. Prove the programme works, and this role becomes the team you lead.
