At Algolia, we are passionate about helping developers & product teams connect their users with what matters most in milliseconds!

The teams are composed of engineers with different backgrounds and experience both in the industry and academia. Your experience, your knowledge and your perspective will add to this diversity, and help the team deliver products that make a difference.

You will play a pivotal role in architecting and implementing systems that play a central role across Algolia’s products. You will also play a role in training/mentoring and leading team members.

Algolia is the world’s only comprehensive search and discovery company. The core of discovery is recommendation. While Algolia’s history with Search is based on users pulling content with queries, Recommend aims at pushing content to them, without any particular explicit trigger. Using our recommendation platform means any business can take advantage of nex-gen (advanced) AI and ML technologies to create great online customer experiences. Our platform is the only one that can be customized to any companys’ unique business needs and instantly delivers precise, session-based recommendations. It’s designed to be easily integrated into existing infrastructure and software and doesn’t require constant and costly API and software updates. Recommendations generate more engagement from users (e.g. the success of feeds like TikTok demonstrate the power of pushing contents). Finally, Recommend completes the discovery experience by filling areas that would not otherwise be filled with search. For example, auto-suggestion cart additions or media playlists or .

The Recommend Platform is a remote first, multicultural team that believes our diversity should match the world around us. We are looking for an Engineering Manager who can partner with our Product Managers to help convey the vision, plan its implementation and drive execution in the Recommend Platform team.

REMOTE STRATEGY:

Algolia’s workplace strategy, Hybrid Remote, is designed to harness the power of the opportunities that remote work offers both employees and the company, while also providing an engaging in-office experience for the times when an employee is in an office. Our workplace approach reflects the belief that an employee’s impact, contribution, and output are more important than their physical location.

The majority of employees will be able to choose if, and when, they come into an office on a regular basis. There will be times when our people are asked to come into an office for “moments that matter:” activities like critical planning meetings and team social gatherings. Beyond those events, 80% of our workforce may choose the location from where they work in the country in which they were hired.

We have physical offices in San Francisco, NYC, Atlanta, Paris, London, Austin, and Bucharest. https://www.algolia.com/about/
