At Algolia, we’re proud to be a pioneer and market leader in AI Search, empowering 17,000+ businesses to deliver blazing-fast, predictive search and browse experiences at internet scale. Every week, we power over 30 billion search requests — four times more than Microsoft Bing, Yahoo, Baidu, Yandex, and DuckDuckGo combined.

In 2021, we raised $150 million in Series D funding, quadrupling our valuation to $2.25 billion. This strong foundation enables us to keep investing in our market-leading platform and serving incredible customers like Under Armour, PetSmart, Stripe, Gymshark, and Walgreens.

You will also support our Professional and Expert Foundation offerings, acting as a technical owner for assigned accounts and ensuring smooth delivery through clear communication, rigorous documentation, and thoughtful stakeholder alignment.

Success in this role means being proactive, reliable, and collaborative, balancing customer-facing delivery with internal best practices such as accurate time tracking, strong documentation habits, and ongoing knowledge sharing.

If you’re excited by the idea of shaping customer outcomes, diving into new tools and technologies, and working in a team that values craftsmanship, curiosity, and continuous learning, we’d love to meet you.
