Technical SEO Specialist Job at Youtech in Granite Heights

We are looking for a Technical SEO Specialist who sits at the intersection of web and search. This role is not about design or development — it is about understanding how websites are built well enough to diagnose what is holding them back in search, and having the technical range to fix it.

Reporting directly to the Director of Technical SEO, you will work across a diverse portfolio of client websites, handling the technical foundation that makes everything else in SEO possible: site architecture, URL structure, post types, crawlability, performance, and the systems that either support or undermine rankings. You will be setting other specialists up for success by ensuring the technical groundwork is solid before strategy is layered on top.

Responsibilities

Audit and implement technical SEO improvements across client websites

Diagnose and resolve Core Web Vitals and site speed issues

Define and optimize site architecture, URL hierarchy, and post type structure

Identify and resolve crawling, indexing, and rendering issues

Manage redirects, 404s, canonicals, XML sitemaps, robots.txt, and structured data

Optimize caching at the web, plugin, and server level

Implement fixes directly within WordPress and PHP templates as needed

Monitor site health proactively and surface issues before they impact performance

Validate fixes and measure impact post-implementation

Collaborate with developers, designers, account teams, and SEO specialists as needed

Required Qualifications

3+ years of experience in a technical SEO or web-adjacent role

Solid understanding of how search engines crawl, render, and index websites

Experience with WordPress including themes, plugins, and template structure

Understanding of caching at the web, plugin, and server level and how it affects performance

Ability to diagnose and resolve site speed and Core Web Vitals issues

Strong command of redirects, 404 handling, .htaccess, HTTP status codes, canonicals, internal linking, pagination, and structured data

Comfortable working in Chrome DevTools, Screaming Frog, Google Search Console, GA4, and PageSpeed Insights

Able to communicate technical findings clearly to both developers, designers, and non-technical stakeholders

What Success Looks Like
Within the first 90 days, you will be trusted to independently investigate technical issues, implement fixes, and ensure client sites have the technical foundation in place for SEO to perform. You own projects from diagnosis through implementation and validation — and the rest of the team moves faster because of the work you do.
