From the employer
About Searchable
We're building the future of AI search visibility. As ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity reshape how people find information, we help brands understand and optimize their presence in this new landscape. Backed by top angels and VCs, we're creating the essential platform for the AI search era.
Our core values:
Move Fast We make decisions quickly and get things done. Progress matters more than perfection.
Find Your Lever, Then Move the World Everyone here finds the work that matters most and takes real pride in it. When you own something, you give it your all.
Radical Ownership Act like an owner. Because you are one. If something's broken, we fix it. If there's an opportunity, we chase it. We don't wait for someone else to step up, we lead from wherever we are.
Feedback Is a Gift Direct. Constructive. Always with care. Feedback, when given with intention and received with openness, is how we sharpen our thinking, improve our work, and build trust.
Leave the Ego at the Door No drama. No politics. No heroes. We're here to win as a team. That means listening more than talking, crediting others, and being willing to change our minds.
