Qualtrics Reston, Virginia Hybrid senior full-time

Salary

$91,000-$110,500 USD per year

Apply on Qualtrics

Description

At Qualtrics, we create software the world's best brands use to deliver exceptional frontline experiences, build high-performing teams, and design products people love.

We are looking for a Technical SEO Specialist to own technical search for Qualtrics, including site health, structured data and entity signals, and the working relationship with web engineering.

Responsibilities

  • Own crawl and index health end to end, including crawl budget, indexation directives, sitemaps, robots directives, orphaned pages, broken and redirecting internal links, and all error remediation.
  • Own site architecture and internal linking as a system, how authority moves through the site, and whether the pages that matter are being prioritized.
  • Run page performance as an ongoing program: monitor Core Web Vitals across page templates, diagnose LCP, INP, and CLS regressions, and drive prioritized actions with engineering.
  • Lead technical SEO for migrations, rebrands, domain consolidations, and content deprecations, including redirect mapping, pre-launch QA, and post-launch monitoring.
  • Own the structured data roadmap: audit coverage, prioritize by opportunity, and ship in phases.
  • Build and maintain the entity model that connects our brand, products, people, and content into something a machine can resolve unambiguously.
  • Make sure content hierarchy, markup, and metadata express what a page is actually about to both search engines and to the retrieval layers behind AI-generated answers.
  • Own hreflang, canonical strategy, and localized site structure across languages and regions.
  • Diagnose and resolve cross-locale cannibalization and duplication.
  • Build our approach to visibility in AI-assisted search: how we are found, understood, cited, and represented in AI-generated answers.
  • Set crawler policy for AI and LLM agents deliberately, balancing visibility against control.
  • Track how retrieval and citation mechanics change, and adjust our technical approach before the impact shows up in traffic.
  • Act as the technical SEO counterpart to web engineering: write specifications, size effort collaboratively, and shepherd work through the backlog to release.
  • Embed SEO requirements into CMS templates, component libraries, and the standard pre-launch QA checklist so fixes become defaults.
  • Review new page templates, JavaScript rendering behavior, and site releases before they ship.
  • Set easy-to-follow, technical SEO standards for web marketing and web engineering partners.
  • Own technical SEO reporting, including what changed, what it was worth, and what is next.
  • Build monitoring that catches regressions early rather than at the next quarterly audit.
  • Forecast the organic impact of proposed technical work and use it to prioritize.

Requirements

  • Minimum 5+ years in SEO, with the majority of that time in technical SEO.
  • Demonstrated ownership of technical SEO for a large, complex website with thousands of pages or more, with multiple templates and stakeholders.
  • Hands-on fluency with Google Search Console, an enterprise crawler, and a web analytics platform.
  • Working knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and HTTP.
  • Practical command of structured data and schema implementation.
  • Direct experience driving technical work through an engineering team, including writing tickets and specifications engineers can act on.
  • Experience diagnosing and remediating Core Web Vitals and page performance issues.
  • Evidence of work on AI or generative search visibility, or a clearly articulated point of view on how it changes technical SEO practice.
  • Clear written communication.

Benefits

  • 35 paid days off
  • Unlimited sick days
  • 6 weeks parental leave for all parents
  • Wellness reimbursement: $300 per quarter
  • Generous 401(k) match
  • Amazing QGroup Communities
