Software Engineer, Growth [Remote]

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.

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)


• Comfortable working across the stack or excited to grow into full-stack development with TypeScript, React, and modern frontend tools

Nice to have:

• Experience working in a scale-up or Growth team


• Experience with analytics platforms like Amplitude, Hex
