Algolia is set to enable every company to create world-class Search and Discovery experiences with an API-first approach. Performance and Scalability is at the heart of our mission: we power 1.5 trillion searches a year, for 10K+ customers all over the world. We see Developer Experience as a key element of our offering: we maintain high-quality SDKs for dozens of languages and platforms. We value Grit, Trust, Candor, Care and Humility. If you’re a problem solver, able to think outside the box and eager to nurture others and learn from them, then this is your challenge!

Our mission is to empower companies to push the right content to increase their users’ chances to stumble upon what they’d be interested in and increase the discoverability of their inventory. To this end, our objectives are to:

• Empower customers to use Generative AI to enrich and personalize every step in the shopper’s e-commerce journey.
• Provide a seamless process for customers to set up their Generative Shopping Experience implementation.

Team members have different skill sets, covering the full stack of our AI offering, from the machine learning evaluation to the front-end Dashboard of our customers. Your experience, your knowledge and your perspective will add value to this diversity, and help the team deliver products that make a difference.
We are looking for a Back-end Engineer to grow our Generative Shopping Experience team. As a backend engineer, we expect you to bring good experience acquired from a similar role in a former job.This also means you are expected to ramp up on the project to meet its objectives, lead on topics and coordinate with the other team members to deliver them.
