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.
In the Dashboard Platform team, we're on a mission to empower all developers at Algolia to ship frontend features to our customer-facing Dashboard, with an emphasis on offering a great and consistent customer experience, at scale. In practice, that means:
- working on core features of the Algolia Dashboard
- building new services powering our infrastructure platform, to enable quick & autonomous deployment for all teams, using Kubernetes, Terraform and AWS.
- building tooling, features & guidelines that contribute to a great Developer Experience
- collaborating with all developers to support the adoption & usage of our tools
We have ambitious goals ahead of us and in that context, we are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer, with a heavy focus on infrastructure automation.
We expect you to bring significant experience acquired from a similar role in a former job. Not only will you lead projects in complete autonomy, you will also be accountable for planning ahead, and thinking in terms of what’s best globally for the company rather than locally for your projects. This also means you are expected to ramp up on multiple projects, and orchestrate changes across projects and teams whenever necessary. You will be joining a newly formed team of two senior software engineers, one manager, all of whom are obsessed with helping Algolia build great experience. We're based in Paris but open to remote work!
YOUR ROLE WILL CONSIST OF:
- Being a key contributor to operation & deployment of all features of the Dashboard Platform
- Taking ownership, research, explore and deliver world-class developer experiences
- Sharing your knowledge on software engineering, testing and deployment best practices
YOU MIGHT BE A FIT IF YOU HAVE:
- Good knowledge of modern infrastructure management with Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform on cloud providers (AWS, GCP, etc).
- Familiarity with AI coding agents
- Rigor in high code quality, automated testing, and other engineering best practices
- You care a lot about Developer Experience
- Well-spoken and written English skills
- Preference for candidates with experience at our current stage and beyond (over 10,000 customers, $50-200M ARR range, high growth, lots of change and building internal infrastructure).
NICE TO HAVE:
- Experience with Go and Ruby on Rails
- Knowledge of modern web development Javascript/TypeScript, HTML & CSS.
