We believe the future of growth marketing is one where companies pay for outcomes, rather than tools. Today, we leverage a combination of AI-enabled services + software to execute SEO growth playbooks for companies like Clay, Descript, and Beacons and dozens of others. In the future, we'll expand our capabilities across the entire growth marketing stack, encompassing all essential customer acquisition channels.

We've raised $6.2M from leading investors like First Round Capital, Basis Set Ventures, WndrCo, SOMA Capital and current and former Heads of Growth at companies like Notion, Airtable, Webflow and Dropbox as well as notable angels like Lenny Rachitsky and Eli Schwartz, Author of Product-Led SEO.

The problem we’re trying to solve

Every company needs to do two things :

  • Build a product.
  • Acquire customers.

There are three ways to acquire customers — sales, product-led growth, and growth marketing. Of these three, growth marketing is particularly hard to staff for because great internal talent is find (ex. in SEO, there are probably

Then there’s the agencies, but agencies are often slow, lack strong technical talent, and in general are associated with poor quality of outcomes.

How We’re Solving This Problem

daydream is different — we’ve built a vertically integrated software + services stack with a singular goal in mind — deliver outstanding outcomes for every customer we service, repeatedly and consistently in a fraction of the time they expect. While we’ve started with SEO, we expect to expand to all other major growth marketing channels over the near future.

Who You’ll Be Working With

You’ll join a small, fast-moving team focused on building the future of SEO—and beyond. Here’s who you’ll work with most closely :

  • Thenuka Karunaratne — CEO & Co-founder
  • Previously founded Flixed.io, which he bootstrapped to $2M+ in revenue through programmatic SEO.
  • Former Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Hustle Fund.
  • Served as Chief of Staff at Pango, a $100M+ cybersecurity company.
  • Nicolás Cerdeira — Head of Growth
  • Built Failory, a community and newsletter for startup founders that grew to 40K+ subscribers, bootstrapped entirely through content and SEO.
  • Specializes in Programmatic SEO, scaling content across thousands of pages while maintaining quality and impact.
  • Worked with dozens of top venture-backed startups on SEO and growth marketing.
  • Together, we’re building a high-leverage, AI-powered growth engine—and you’ll play a key role in scaling it.

    ️What You'll Be Doing

    As our Founding Marketer , you’ll be responsible for owning the full inbound engine at daydream—from content to community to thought leadership. This is a critical role : all of our revenue to date has come from inbound leads, and we want to double down on that motion.

    You’ll :

  • Own content marketing end to end—including written content, SEO education, and long-form thought leadership.
  • Create high-quality courses that help teach the fundamentals of modern SEO, GEO, and AI-enabled growth.
  • Build and nurture a community of modern growth marketers—especially those operating at the frontier of AI, content, and SEO.
  • Collaborate closely with our data science and product teams to translate internal research into public-facing content, case studies, and original insights.
  • Define and evolve the narrative around daydream—cementing our position as the go-to brand for generative engine optimization.
  • You’ll be an excellent fit if you

  • Have 2–4 years of experience in content, brand, or growth marketing
  • Have built content that drove measurable pipeline—not just traffic
  • Are an excellent writer and editor with a strong product + audience POV
  • Are excited about the intersection of AI, search, and growth
  • Are eager to build from 0 → 1—laying down the systems and strategy from scratch
  • Are as comfortable rolling up your sleeves to write a long-form post as you are crafting the overall content roadmap
  • This role won't be a good fit if you

  • Prefer following marketing playbooks over creating them from scratch
  • Get overwhelmed by ambiguity, speed, or a blank Google Doc
  • Want to market a product, not define a category
  • Think “thought leadership” means reposting trending takes
  • Ideal background

  • Experience leading content or brand marketing in a high-growth B2B startup
  • A portfolio of writing or campaigns that drove measurable impact
  • Strong familiarity with modern SEO and / or AI trends
  • Bonus : experience building courses or educational content
  • Compensation

  • Total compensation : $120K–$180K / year plus generous equity in daydream.
  • Full medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage.
  • Hybrid : 3 days / week in our San Francisco office (Hayes Valley).
  • Compensation Range : $120K - $180K
