Software Engineer, Growth

Algolia is the retrieval intelligence layer that turns intent into trusted, decision-grade outcomes. Powering more than 1.7 trillion queries a year for over 18,000 customers with millisecond latency and 99.999% reliability, we are the recognized leader for Search and Product Discovery by top industry analyst firms. The Algolia platform turns a company's products, content, and business rules into data that humans, applications and AI agents can act upon. The result is trusted customer experiences with stronger conversions for measurable business impact.

To ensure our users make the most out of Algolia’s powerful features, we need to first make sure that they understand our offerings and are able to set everything up quickly.

The Growth org aims to help Algolia grow by working on changes in the product, introducing new features, and providing the best possible user experience. You will get to shape the user experience of our customers as they start using Algolia, help create a new Growth platform, collaborate with other engineers, and contribute to engineering best practices.

We are looking for engineers who enjoy working close to users, shipping iteratively, measuring impact, and using data to decide what comes next.

A few projects we’ve worked on recently include:

Building AI-powered experiences that help developers launch with Algolia faster

Improving activation journeys through experimentation and personalization

Scaling developer tools like DocSearch and integrations used by thousands of applications

Building Growth platforms around experimentation, notifications, and product insights

Your role will consist of:

Building solutions to help users get the most out of Algolia

Running experiments and A/B tests to help choose the best possible solution

Collaborating with Product and Design teams to explore opportunities

Contributing to the evolution of our Growth platform, ensuring it scales with our customers and internal teams

Working with a range of teams to deliver a solid growth foundation

Writing high-quality, well-tested code and participating in code reviews

Contributing to improvements in engineering quality, processes, and tooling

Bringing ideas to the team roadmap and gradually owning projects from discovery through delivery

We follow a bottom-up approach: the teams come up with their own initiatives targeting our metrics and execute on them

You might be a fit if you have:

Passion about delivering the best UX to diverse sets of users in various industries (engineers, marketers, merchandisers, etc.)

A mindset to make data-informed decisions and understand the impact of the changes you introduce

Some experience with, or a strong interest in, event-driven infrastructure in GCP or AWS

Experience building production applications with a backend language (we use Ruby today and are exploring Go)
