As an Automation Engineer (SEO) , you will play a critical role in helping a growing digital marketing agency scale its SEO and marketing operations through automation, AI, and systems thinking. You'll work closely with leadership to design and implement technical solutions that reduce manual effort, improve execution speed, and create operational leverage across the business.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving ambiguous problems, building systems from the ground up, and leveraging modern technologies to streamline complex workflows.
