ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews have transformed how people discover information. Brands now need to measure and optimise their visibility across all of the major AI search engines. We help companies grow their organic presence across SEO, AEO, and GEO through a fully agentic platform that identifies opportunities, recommends actions, and automates improvements with Searchable’s AI agent. We’re at $5M ARR in just 10 months, backed by top angels and VCs, and building the team that will define the category. We’re office-based five days a week near London Bridge. If you thrive in a startup culture where people put in hours because they love solving hard problems and taking radical ownership, you'll fit right in. ## The Role This is a role for someone who sits comfortably between design and engineering and refuses to let anything get lost in between. You can open a Figma file, spot the spacing that’s two pixels off, and fix it in the component rather than the page. You care as much about how something feels as how it’s built. Our product takes a lot of complex, unfamiliar data about how brands appear in AI answers and has to make it instantly clear. That’s a design problem as much as an engineering one, and you’ll be solving both. You’ll take features from rough idea to polished release, and help shape the component library and design system that let us move fast without the product starting to look like it. You’ll work day to day with Product, Design, and Backend, with real ownership over how Searchable looks and feels. ## What you’ll do - Own challenging frontend features from start to finish, covering everything from initial planning and technical design through to a refined, production-ready result - Explore the full potential of current frontend tools and techniques, crafting meticulous, visually polished interfaces that faithfully reflect every nuance of the designs - Work hand in hand with Product, Design, and Backend colleagues to turn concepts into graceful, fast-loading interfaces that deliver an outstanding experience for users - Uphold a high bar for code quality, accessibility, and speed through careful code reviews, thorough testing, and sound engineering practices - Help shape the direction of our frontend architecture, shared components, and design system so the team can move quickly as we grow Who we’re looking for - At least five years of hands-on frontend engineering experience, preferably at startups or fast-scaling companies - Advanced skills in TypeScript, React, and today’s frontend toolchain, backed by a history of launching excellent customer-facing products - Hands-on involvement in creating, extending, or looking after a shared component library or design system - A compelling portfolio or GitHub profile that demonstrates your frontend abilities - Solid command of CSS, real-world experience using TailwindCSS, and a good grasp of semantic HTML - A sharp eye for design and an obsession with visual detail, with the ability to turn Figma files into flawless, pixel-accurate interfaces - Clear communication and a strong sense of accountability, comfortable working independently while keeping in step with the wider team - Evidence of excellence in some area, inside or outside of work, such as a strong FIDE chess rating - A genuinely warm, team-oriented, and hardworking nature, lifting those around you through openness and empathy ## What you can expect from us - Salary: Competitive (DOE) - Meaningful early-stage equity pre Series A - 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays - Enhanced salary sacrifice pension - Workplace nursery scheme - Monthly fitness and wellbeing reimbursement - Flexibility in hours – around life and family commitments ## About Searchable ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Searchable is an AI-powered SEO and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) platform that helps brands track, understand, and improve their visibility in AI-driven search engines like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews. - **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage; raised $4M in December 2025) - **Headquarters**: London, England, United Kingdom (9 Tanner Street, SE1 3LE) - **Founded**: 2025 - **Founders**: Chris Donnelly (Co-Founder & CEO), Arya Nagabhyru (Co-Founder & Technical Lead), Sam Hogan (Co-Founder & Product Lead) ## Core Business - **Primary Industry**: AI-powered marketing analytics / SEO / AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) - **Target Customers**: B2B – brands, marketing teams, and businesses that want to be discovered in AI search results (e.g., ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity) - **Mission**: To be a strategic marketing partner in the era of the agentic web. ## Products & Services - **[Searchable Platform]**: A SaaS analytics dashboard that connects with Google Analytics and Google Search Console to show how AI systems read, rank, and recommend a brand’s content. It uses AI to answer questions, highlight visibility gaps, and suggest improvements. Also includes tracking for ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and other AI search engines. ## Market Standing - **Valuation**: Claimed $85M valuation (as of early 2026, per career page) – note: this is a self-reported figure; no independent confirmation found. Total known funding is $4M seed round. - **Key Metric**: Total Funding $4M (Seed, Dec 2025). Revenue not publicly disclosed. - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Single unnamed investor in the seed round (not identified in sources). Strategic partnerships not yet public. - **Growth Signals**: - 1,000+ customers (reported on careers page) - 27,105 LinkedIn followers with +5.9% monthly growth - Employee headcount growth of +33.3% monthly (from 14 employees per LinkedIn – conflicting with “30+ employees” on careers page – see note below) - 3 active job postings (Senior SDR Manager, Head of Product (SEO/GEO/AI), Senior SEO Consultant) - High early traction: brands reporting improved AI visibility and reduced manual work ## Competitive Advantages - **First-mover in AEO**: The platform is purpose-built for the emerging category of AI-driven search, not retrofitted from traditional SEO. - **Proprietary data**: Captures how AI assistants interpret content, which traditional analytics tools cannot see. - **Founding team experience**: Co-founders bring deep tech and marketing backgrounds (Verb Brands, Origami, Antler, etc.). - **Speed of execution**: Achieved $85M valuation and 1,000+ customers in under 6 months from founding. ## Strategic Focus - **Current priorities**: Rapidly scaling the customer base, building integrations with more AI search channels, and expanding the product from visibility tracking to prescriptive optimization. - **Direction for growth**: Becoming the standard "operating system" for AI search visibility, as brands move from traditional SEO to generative engine optimization (GEO). ## Why Work Here - **Culture**: Described as high-autonomy, outcome-driven, with values like “No Ego,” “Create Fans,” and “Compound Speed.” Emphasis on progress and quality over being right. - **Work policy**: 5 days per week in the London office (Bermondsey area). Late-night meals and Ubers covered when work runs late. - **Perks & benefits**: - 25 days paid vacation - Leading parental and childcare policies - Monthly contribution to physical health - Meaningful equity in a company with a claimed $85M valuation - Flexibility to manage own schedule - **Engineering & tech culture**: AI-native builders; cutting-edge stack; “we care about the quality of our work.” Small, fast-moving team – currently 14–30 employees (data conflict – see below). **Note on headcount**: LinkedIn (as of mid-2026) reports 14 employees with 33.3% monthly growth, while the careers page references “30+ employees.” This likely reflects rapid hiring during the job posting surge – both figures may be valid at different points in time. ## Sources 1.
