About CodeAnt AI

CodeAnt AI is developing a comprehensive offensive and defensive security platform, supported by Y Combinator, Entrepreneur First, and Uncorrelated Ventures. Our technology is used by Fortune 500 companies and government bodies to deliver secure, high-quality code at scale. In 2026 alone, we've shipped over 100 CVEs and lead critical PR detection benchmarks. Our security research has influenced more than 1.85 billion monthly downloads.

However, the future of search is evolving beyond traditional engines like Google toward AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Mode. When users ask these assistants about the best AI code review or penetration testing tools, we need to ensure CodeAnt AI is cited as the authoritative answer.

Role Purpose

This role exists to ensure CodeAnt AI becomes a leading voice and citation in AI assistant rankings through advanced AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) strategies, complementing traditional SEO efforts.

Key Responsibilities

Manage and optimize CodeAnt's visibility across AI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Mode, focusing on relevant queries such as "best AI code review tool," "best SAST scanner," and alternatives to competitors.
Develop and maintain an active presence on key Reddit communities (e.g., r/cybersecurity, r/devops, r/programming, r/netsec, r/devsecops, r/SaaS) with a strategy that avoids account bans and maximizes impact.
Secure citations for CodeAnt on comparison sites, authoritative listicles, and content hubs like G2, Reddit, Medium, dev.to, and Hacker News to boost LLM citation rates.
Create and disseminate platform-tailored content such as Reddit posts, LinkedIn updates, and X (formerly Twitter) threads aimed at earning citations rather than engagement.
Track, analyze, and report monthly on citation metrics, Reddit engagement, and comparison site coverage, identifying successful strategies and areas for improvement.
Explore and exploit new distribution channels as they emerge (including platforms like Bluesky, dev.to, Lobsters) to maintain citation growth.

Candidate Profile

Minimum three years of experience driving organic growth for B2B SaaS, developer tools, or technical products.
Proven success in cultivating Reddit communities for B2B purposes without getting accounts banned, supported by verifiable post history.
Experience growing organic presence on at least one additional channel such as LinkedIn, X, Hacker News, dev.to, Medium, or GitHub-as-distribution.
Strong understanding of AEO and GEO mechanics at an operational level, including how LLMs weigh citation signals and third-party content.
Ability to analyze citation data similar to how an SEO audits SERP rankings to identify opportunities for improved query ranking.
Excellent writing skills to produce compelling, non-marketing-sounding Reddit posts, LinkedIn updates that earn citations, and highly shareable X threads.
Focus on achieving citations over mere impressions, recognizing the value of content that drives repeated LLM references.
Proactive and results-driven mindset with a preference for timely delivery over perfection.

Exclusions

You will not be responsible for writing original blog posts or technical research (handled by content team), running paid amplification campaigns (managed by Growth Marketing Manager), or performing on-page SEO (handled by another team).

What We Offer

An opportunity to be the first organic growth lead at a fast-growing, YC-backed AI security startup with billion-dollar growth potential.
Competitive cash compensation alongside meaningful equity stakes.
Close collaboration with the CEO and Head of Growth.
Direct ownership of the critical growth lever for 2026: securing CodeAnt’s position as the go-to answer in AI assistant queries.

Desired Traits

Passion for organic growth as a dedicated craft, not merely a step towards other marketing roles.
A strong sense of urgency and dedication to hard work.
