Hello

We're HappyScribe, a profitable, 100% bootstrapped AI company based in Barcelona.

We built one of the web's most accurate multilingual transcription platforms, trusted by hundreds of thousands of users each month. That product funds our freedom to create what's next—no investors, no burn rate, just focus.

Now we're taking that same tech and expertise to a bigger frontier: turning conversations into intelligence. We're building the layer where meetings become memory, ideas become action, and teams work with more clarity and speed.

You'd be joining a team of ~20 people, close-knit and pragmatic. Some of us are scaling a mature, revenue-generating platform. Others are prototyping new products that push the limits of speech and agentic AI.

We move fast but think long-term. There's room here to own, shape, and ship real products — not pitch decks.

Happy Scribe is already a major player in the SEO world. With 959K monthly visitors, 748K from organic search, and 32K AIO traffic (and growing fast ~ 50% MoM), we've built one of the most successful multilingual SEO engines in the transcription and subtitling space.

Now, we're ready to take it to the next level — and we're looking for a strategic, technical, and globally-minded SEO manager to make it happen.

What you'll do:

• You'll define and drive the global SEO and GEO strategy that powers Happy Scribe's growth. You'll bring innovative ideas, test bold hypotheses, and turn data into scalable SEO and GEO plays that move the needle.
• You'll refine and expand our multilingual content strategy, defining and prioritizing keywords across all markets, and optimizing landing pages, blog posts, and entry pages for maximum visibility. You'll spot gaps and opportunities before anyone else — and turn them into wins.
• You'll build our internal outreach system from the ground up — securing brand mentions, links, and media coverage that elevate our authority. You'll lead PR-style campaigns and other link building efforts.
• On the technical side, you'll run ongoing audits, analyze logs, and develop programmatic SEO initiatives that scale traffic intelligently. You'll explore Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and automation to stay ahead of how search evolves.
• You'll manage and mentor our SEO Specialist and content writers.

You're the right fit if you have:

• 5+ years in SEO, highly technical and with tangible results in multilingual and global markets.
• Deep technical understanding of SEO (crawl, indexation, site architecture, Core Web Vitals, schema, etc.).
• Proven experience with Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) or optimization for AI-driven search and answer engines.
• Expertise with Ahrefs, and fluency in Google Search Console, Screaming Frog, Metabase, Sanity and related tools.
• Comfort writing SQL queries and deriving actionable insights from data.
• Hands-on experience with programmatic SEO (templated landing pages, dynamic content scaling, etc.).
• Familiarity with at least one programming language (Python), or a strong interest in automation of SEO/GEO workflows.

Company Culture

A company culture built on trust, autonomy, and independence

We're remote-first, office-encouraged — We work asynchronously and with high trust, but value in-person collaboration for creativity and speed.

• Flexible working hours — Work on the schedule that makes you the happiest and productive.

Beautiful office in Gràcia — One of the best areas in Barcelona. Our offices are much more than just a place to work. We like to see them alive 24/7, filled with friends and creative activities. Want to organise a community event, a breakfast with other designers, developers, etc.? The place is yours. .

International, English-only speaking environment — We're building an international team and want to create an inclusive environment where anyone can join any conversation at any time, even if it's just kitchen talk. That's why you'll find Italian, French or Catalan people talking in English to each other.

What we offer...

Competitive salary — our salaries are in the top percentiles of the Barcelona startup scene.

Equity — By joining the company when the team is so small, you're helping us set the foundations of our future success. We're asking you to come on an adventure, so if we find a treasure, we want you to get a piece.

30 days per year vacation time — To relax and recharge your batteries whenever you need to.

The hardware that you need to be most productive.

Private Health Insurance — We have partnered with Alan to best take care of our team both in Barcelona and while they're on the road, covering half of the full price of the medical coverage.

Monthly savings — Use part of your gross salary for meals, public transport, or nursery services through Cobee and enjoy income tax savings on everyday expenses.
