Why This Role ExistsGate is at a pivotal stage of global traffic growth, and SEO is one of our core levers for acquiring high-quality organic traffic while driving down CAC. We're looking for a systems-level SEO strategist to build Gate's SEO engine from zero to one — from technical SEO to content strategy to data infrastructure — transforming SEO from "something we do on the side" into a growth channel with clearly attributable ROI.

What You'll OwnDefine and execute Gate's global SEO strategy across the main site, blog, Learn section, and landing pages — setting priorities and phased milestones across all surfaces.Lead technical SEO architecture, partnering closely with engineering to solve site structure, page speed, crawl efficiency, and multilingual hreflang implementation at the foundation layer.Build our keyword research and content planning system around crypto, Web3, and trading product themes — driving production of content that captures high-intent search demand.Establish SEO measurement and attribution infrastructure, defining the core metrics (organic traffic, keyword rankings, conversion) that turn data into iteration decisions.Own off-page SEO and link-building strategy, elevating Gate's search authority and brand visibility across the global crypto landscape.

Who We're Looking ForYou have deep intuition for how search engines actually work — not from memorizing rules, but from understanding what Google is trying to do. You're data-driven but not data-paralyzed; you can make sound calls with incomplete information. You're equally comfortable debating robots.txt and rendering strategies with engineers as you are explaining to content teams why a headline has to change.

You have a strong owner mindset — you don't wait for scope to be handed to you; you find the highest-leverage problem and drive it. In fast-moving, resource-constrained environments, you ship and iterate rather than wait for perfect conditions.

Backgrounds We're Open ToSEO lead or core contributor at a crypto exchange (Binance, OKX, Bybit, etc.)SEO / growth lead at a crypto-native media outlet (CoinDesk, The Block, PANews, etc.)Core SEO role at a major internet company (ByteDance, Alibaba, Tencent, Meituan, etc.) — international or multilingual SEO experience strongly preferred

Why This Role Is Worth Your TimeFull ownership of Gate's global SEO strategy — you'll directly shape the organic growth curve of a platform handling tens of billions in daily trading volume.Crypto SEO is still blue ocean — the competitive landscape is far from settled. You have the chance to define the playbook for this category, not fight over scraps in a saturated market.Fully remote worldwide — with collaboration primarily during APAC hours (Beijing / GMT+8).

A Note From the Hiring ManagerWe're not looking for someone who "knows SEO." Tactics can be learned — an instinct for growth and an obsession with systems are much harder to develop. I want someone who sees a page drop in rankings and immediately starts pulling data, diagnosing the cause, and proposing a fix — not someone waiting to be assigned work. There's enormous white space in Gate's SEO waiting to be filled.

If what you want is the chance to build from the ground up and actually see the results of your work, this is that seat.

We regret to inform that only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
