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.
At Algolia, we are passionate about helping developers & product teams connect their users with what matters most in milliseconds! Algolia provides the industry’s most powerful search and discovery SaaS platform, driving richer, more powerful engagement and success capabilities to over 17,000 companies. We are seeking passionate and industrious Solutions Engineers ready to join a hyper-growth business and market to help evangelize and drive technical success with our solutions.
We are looking for experienced, curious, and driven Solutions Engineers to help customers realize the full value of our platform in a fast-growing market.
This role is a critical part of Algolia’s go-to-market organization, working closely with Sales and Solutions partners to drive revenue, customer adoption, and best practices. You will play a key role in helping prospects and customers evaluate Algolia, understand its technical capabilities, and successfully apply it to their use cases.
In this position, you will own the technical pre-sales relationship across opportunities and accounts. You will partner with Account Executives to demonstrate the product and underlying architecture, address technical and business objections, and deliver thoughtful, consultative solutions that result in a strong technical win and clear product fit.
You will act as both a deep technical expert and a trusted advisor. This means being equally comfortable presenting an engaging solution to a CTO, collaborating with product managers, or building prototypes and integrations directly with customer engineers using Algolia’s APIs.
You thrive in conversations with engineers, product leaders, and executives, and you know how to translate complex technical concepts into clear business value for diverse audiences.
Beyond customer-facing work, you will serve as an advocate for customer needs internally, partnering with Product and Engineering, contributing to technical content, enabling internal teams, and supporting cross-company initiatives that improve how customers succeed with Algolia.
Our priorities are guided by a simple question: what will help our customers be more successful with Algolia?
