Technical SEO Specialist / Engineer
The engineering-facing SEO role: crawl architecture, rendering, performance, structured data, and everything that has to keep working at a million URLs.
Analogy Mental model
A radiologist rather than a family doctor. They don't diagnose by intuition — they read the scans: server logs, response headers, performance traces, and the shape of the DOM after JavaScript has finished.
In practice What you actually do
Typical work includes log-file analysis at scale and crawl-budget triage, SSR and SSG strategies for React, Vue, or Next.js front ends, hreflang architecture across international sites, Python or SQL to process URL sets nobody wants to open in a spreadsheet, and the ticket-writing that gets developers to ship the fix.
Where people get burned Pitfalls
The most common failure is diagnosing correctly and then losing the argument with engineering. A technically flawless audit that never becomes a merged pull request is worth nothing, so the writing and persuasion are part of the craft.
