INTRODUCTION:

At Algolia, we are passionate about helping developers & product teams connect their users with what matters most in milliseconds! Our APIs are used by thousands of customers in more than 100 countries. Billions of search queries are answered every month thanks to the code we push into production every day.

THE TEAM:

Join our dynamic, cross-functional team dedicated to redefining search personalization! We’re building an intelligent personalization engine that understands users by analyzing their unique preferences through past interactions to tailor search results — making every interaction feel personal and intuitive. If you're excited about crafting innovative solutions that bring users exactly what they need, when they need it, we’d love to have you on board!

THE OPPORTUNITY:

As a FullStack Software Engineer on our team, you'll collaborate closely with senior engineers (Frontend, Machine Learning, Data, and Backend) to design and implement seamless solutions that make onboarding and using our personalization platform a standout experience. Once aligned on direction, you'll own key features end-to-end, from initial implementation to production deployment. You'll play a key role in building intuitive, user-friendly interfaces and robust systems that help customers unlock the full potential of our personalisation tools from day one.

YOUR ROLE WILL CONSIST OF:

  • Contributing to the frontend ecosystem for personalisation, including frontend libraries and documentation
  • Building thoughtfully designed, composable UI components that the team and customers can leverage
  • Implementing and owning "backend for frontend" APIs that bridge frontend needs with our core systems
  • Building dashboard experiences based on product directions and customer feedback
  • Making user-centric decisions while keeping the team informed and aligned

YOU MIGHT BE A FIT IF YOU:

  • Have experience with React and Typescript, with opinions about component architecture
  • Excel at breaking down complex features into clear, composable building blocks
  • Are comfortable diving deep into different layers of the stack to debug issues and improve system understanding
  • Have strong focus on user experience to build software
  • Take pride in shipping polished features that users love
  • Can drive projects forward independently while maintaining clear communication
  • Are able to make autonomous decisions for which you will take ownership

NICE TO HAVE:

  • Familiarity with Go
  • Familiarity with Google Cloud Platform
  • Understanding of ML concepts and their practical implications
  • Track record of shipping features in collaborative environments
  • Experience shipping developer-facing tools or APIs to production
  • Experience with rapid prototyping and iteration

TEAM'S CURRENT STACK:

  • Frontend: React, TypeScript

WE'RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO CAN LIVE BY OUR VALUES:

GRIT - Problem-solving and perseverance capability in an ever-changing and growing environment
TRUST - Willingness to trust our co-workers and to take ownership
CANDOR - Ability to receive and give constructive feedback.
CARE - Genuine care about other team members, our clients and the decisions we make in the company.
HUMILITY- Aptitude for learning from others, putting ego aside.

FLEXIBLE WORKPLACE STRATEGY:

Algolia’s flexible workplace model is designed to empower all Algolians to fulfill our mission to power search and discovery with ease. We place an emphasis on an individual’s impact, contribution, and output, over their physical location. Algolia is a high-trust environment and many of our team members have the autonomy to choose where they want to work and when.

ABOUT US:

Algolia prides itself on being a pioneer and market leader offering an AI Search solution that empowers 17,000+ businesses to compose customer experiences at internet scale that predict what their users want with blazing fast search and web browse experience. Algolia powers more than 30 billion search requests a week – four times more than Microsoft Bing, Yahoo, Baidu, Yandex and DuckDuckGo combined.

Algolia is part of a cadre of innovative new companies that are driving the next generation of software development, creating APIs that make developers’ lives easier; solutions that are better than building from scratch and better than having to tweak monolithic SaaS solutions.

In 2021, the company closed $150 million in series D funding and quadrupled its post-money valuation of $2.25 billion. Being well capitalized enables Algolia to continue to invest in its market leading platform, to better serve its thousands of customers–including Under Armor, Petsmart, Stripe, Gymshark, and Walgreens, to name just a few.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

We’re looking for talented, passionate people to build the world’s best search & discovery technology. As an ownership-driven company, we seek team members who thrive within an environment based on autonomy and diversity. We're committed to building an inclusive and diverse workplace. We care about each other and the world around us, and embrace talented people regardless of their race, age, ancestry, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, color, veteran status, disability and socioeconomic background.

READY TO APPLY?
If you share our values and our enthusiasm for building the world’s best search & discovery technology, we’d love to review your application!
