Technical SEO & AI Search Optimization (GEO) Specialist (Part-Time)

About Third i
ThirdI is a modern, forward-thinking digital growth agency. We help next-generation B2B technology companies scale their digital footprint across both traditional and emerging search ecosystems.

The Project Opportunity
We are looking for a mid-level, highly technical SEO & Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) Specialist to join our team on a part-time basis. You will be embedded as the core project manager and delivery owner for a high-profile client in the Enterprise AI Security & Sovereign Governance sector.

The client provides a cutting-edge infrastructure layer designed to secure, audit, and govern Large Language Models (LLMs) and multi-step autonomous agent workflows. While their core products (Data Privacy/Redaction, Agentic Guardrails, and Output Validation) are backed by rigorous academic and open-source validation , they currently face an "Invisible Authority" gap in search. AI search engines (like ChatGPT and Gemini) recognize their brand name but completely miss their architecture when answering unbranded, high-intent technical industry queries.

Your primary mission will be to execute an integrated SEO and GEO strategy to fix these visibility blind spots and position the client as the definitive hybrid choice for enterprise AI security and runtime compliance.

Key Responsibilities & Scope of Work

Technical SEO & Entity Mapping: Implement advanced backend code adjustments, including deep JSON-LD Schema Markup, to connect the client's academic background, leadership, and open-source tools to their commercial domain.
Layout Re-Engineering: Optimize core product pages into highly scannable layouts (utilizing data tables, clear feature definitions, and QA blocks) that AI scrapers and LLM context windows prefer.
Competitive Interception Content: Architect technical content assets and comparison frameworks to intercept buyers researching competitors in the policy governance and runtime firewall spaces.
Topical Authority Building: Develop and launch comprehensive technical hubs around critical target clusters like "Zero Egress Enterprise AI Governance," "Air-Gapped Data Masking," and "Sovereign AI Infrastructure".
Citation Optimization: Format all content using a specialized reference framework (incorporating unique data points and distinct industry terminology) that triggers AI systems to cite the site with direct clickable links.

Requirements & Qualifications:
Experience: 2-4 years of hands-on experience in Technical SEO, with an active track record in GEO / AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)—knowing how to optimize digital properties to successfully win citations inside LLMs (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude).
Niche Domain Knowledge: Strong ability to rapidly comprehend and translate highly technical B2B engineering and cybersecurity topics (e.g., LLM vulnerabilities, data masking, data egress, autonomous workflows) into clean, structured digital content architectures.
Backend Mastery: Deep comfort with entity resolution, knowledge graphs, and complex Schema deployments.
Management & Delivery: A reliable self-starter who can confidently manage an agency-level project roadmap, coordinate deliverables, and directly support the client's goals with minimal oversight.
