## Job description

## ABOUT MODERN TREASURY

Modern Treasury provides trusted infrastructure for money movement. The company helps teams launch and scale payment experiences in days, not months. With best-in-class developer tools and a single API for fiat and stablecoins—plus built-in compliance, ledgering, and reporting—Modern Treasury enables businesses to move money instantly, reliably, and at scale.

## ABOUT THE ROLE

As money movement becomes more programmable, buyers increasingly need guidance on how to evaluate, architect, and operate payment infrastructure. Search and AI systems are becoming a critical part of that discovery journey.

We’re hiring an SEO & AI Search Discovery Lead to help shape how the market discovers and evaluates Modern Treasury.

This role is centered on what content we create, where it lives, and how it drives discovery across both traditional search and AI-native answer engines. You will define the topics, formats, and surfaces that make Modern Treasury the authoritative source on payment infrastructure, orchestration, and PSP architecture. That includes our owned content, the developer and operator communities where buyers gather (HackerNews, Reddit, etc.), and the third-party platforms (G2, TrustRadius, YouTube, etc) that LLMs and search engines treat as authority signals. Winning in 2026 means showing up authoritatively across all of these surfaces, not just on moderntreasury.com http://moderntreasury.com.

You will partner closely with our design engineer, who supports technical SEO execution. Your job is to set the strategy and build the content, ecosystem, and authority standards. Their job is to make the platform deliver on them.

This is an individual contributor role for someone who understands technical buyer journeys, infrastructure storytelling, content ecosystems, and how to win organic discovery in the AI era.

## WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Own AEO strategy across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews
- Map and optimize Modern Treasury's presence across the full LLM-ingested ecosystem (HackerNews, Reddit, G2, TrustRadius, YouTube etc.) to improve AI-driven discoverability and citation weight
- Define and own the topic cluster and authority map for Modern Treasury's core categories: payment orchestration, PSP architecture, ACH and RTP infrastructure, stablecoin rails, ledger systems, reconciliation, embedded payments, sub-account systems, multi-rail money movement
- Build evaluation content for technical and operational buyers, build vs. buy frameworks, comparison pages, architecture guides, implementation patterns
- Partner with founders, executives, and engineering SMEs to translate product and market shifts into authoritative content
- Own SEO and AEO performance analytics, connecting organic performance to pipeline and revenue
- Partner with a design engineer on technical SEO standards, schema, and structured data. You set the standard, they own execution.

## WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- 6 to 8 years in SEO, content strategy, or organic growth, ideally at modern B2B SaaS, fintech, infrastructure, API, or developer-tool companies
- Proven track record growing qualified organic traffic and pipeline through content strategy, not just technical fixes
- Strong perspective on how search is evolving in the AI era, with hands-on experience or active experimentation in AEO
- Highly analytical, comfortable working in large datasets to identify trends, diagnose performance shifts, and quantify opportunity
- Hands-on experience with enterprise SEO tools such as Ahrefs, Profound, or similar
- Strong understanding of technical buyer journeys, including how developers, payment ops, and finance buyers evaluate infrastructure
- Ability to write. The senior IC bar at Modern Treasury includes shipping content, not just briefing it

## About Modern Treasury

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Modern Treasury provides a single API and unified ledger for fiat and stablecoin payment infrastructure, enabling companies to launch and scale money movement products rapidly.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series C; total funding $183M)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, USA (with an additional office in New York, NY and presence in Spain)
- **Founded**: 2018
- **Founders**: Matt Marcus (CEO) and Dimitri Dadiomov (President & Co-Founder)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Financial technology (payments infrastructure, banking-as-a-service)
- **Target customers**: B2B – enterprises, financial institutions, fintechs, marketplaces, payroll platforms, and any business that moves money at scale.
- **Mission or purpose statement**: “To be the most trusted infrastructure for global money movement” and to help money move “at the speed of the internet” by bridging fiat and stablecoin rails.

## Products & Services
- **Payment Operations API**: A single RESTful API that abstracts ACH, FedNow, wire, and stablecoin rails, enabling companies to send and receive money, manage accounts, and reconcile in real time.
- **Programmable Accounts**: Virtual account creation and management with a real-time ledger for tracking balances, deposits, and transfers.
- **Stablecoin Orchestration**: On‑ and off‑ramp stablecoin transactions (e.g., USDC) alongside traditional fiat rails, with built‑in compliance.
- **Wallet Infrastructure**: Digital wallet support for holding and moving both fiat and stablecoins under one ledger.
- **B2B Invoicing & Cross‑Border Payments**: Unified payments for invoicing, global USD accounts, and multi‑currency collections/payouts.
- **Embedded Solutions for Marketplaces, Payroll, Lending, Card Issuing & Rewards**: Pre‑built modules that let platforms embed payment capabilities without rebuilding back‑end infrastructure.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not publicly disclosed.
- **Key Metric**: Total funding of **$183M** (across Pre‑Seed, Seed, Series A, and two Series C rounds). The company reports having processed **over $600 billion in payments** (website) – though LinkedIn cites “over $400 billion” (likely an earlier figure).
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Benchmark (led Series A), Altimeter Capital (led Series C), Salesforce Ventures, and several other institutional investors. Acqui‑hire of Beam.
- **Growth Signals**: 
  - Launched stablecoin orchestration and global USD accounts, indicating expansion into crypto‑native and cross‑border use cases.
  - Active job postings: **17 open roles** as of mid‑2026, with monthly postings up 21.4% and yearly postings up 325% – suggesting renewed headcount growth after a significant reduction (headcount dropped 39.6% YoY to ~98 employees).
  - Multiple industry‑focused solutions (payroll, lending, card issuing) signal product‑led expansion.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Dual‑rail platform**: Unlike competitors that focus solely on fiat (e.g., Plaid, Finicity) or solely on crypto (e.g., Circle), Modern Treasury unifies fiat and stablecoin rails in a single API with a real‑time ledger.
- **Proven scale**: Over $600B in payments processed, used by “hundreds of organizations” including leading enterprises and financial institutions.
- **Compliance built‑in**: Automated compliance workflows for both fiat and stablecoin transactions reduce regulatory burden for clients.
- **Developer experience**: “One API, go live in days, not months” with best‑in‑class developer tools and documentation.
- **Uptime guarantee**: 99.99% uptime for core platform.

## Strategic Focus
- **Stablecoin leadership**: Betting heavily on stablecoin regulatory clarity to become the default infrastructure for companies that want to offer both fiat and crypto payments.
- **Global expansion**: Enabling cross‑border payments and USD accounts for international businesses, reducing reliance on correspondent banking.
- **Platform depth**: Adding vertical‑specific modules (payroll, lending, card issuing) to move up‑stack and increase wallet share with existing customers.
- **Go‑to‑market efficiency**: After a period of contraction (headcount down ~40% YoY), the company is re‑hiring selectively, focusing on engineering, security, and customer success roles.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Described as “principled operators solving some of the hardest problems in money movement.” The team values “trust, curiosity, and constructive feedback” and moves fast while thinking deeply.
- **Remote/Hybrid/Office**: Offices in San Francisco (77 Geary St.) and New York (184 Fifth Ave.). The presence of at least one employee in Spain suggests some remote flexibility, but the majority of roles appear to be US‑based with an expectation of in‑office presence in SF or NYC.
- **Notable perks**:
  - Unlimited PTO
  - Comprehensive healthcare (HMO, PPO, dental, vision)
  - 16 weeks paid parental leave
  - Family planning resources (Carrot)
  - Home office stipend & books/learning stipend
  - 401(k) through Fidelity
  - Charitable donation matching
- **Engineering culture**: Strong developer tooling focus; the engineering team (43 people) works on ledgering, APIs, security, and stablecoin infrastructure. Recent job openings include multiple Software Engineer (Security) and Infrastructure roles, indicating investment in reliability and trust.
- **Rating**: 3.5/5 on employer rating (42 reviews) – with highest marks for Work‑Life Balance (4.2) and Culture (4.0), lowest for Career Development (3.3). The recent VP of People departure (Feb 2026) may signal organizational change.
