      • Contribute to internal and external knowledge bases.
REQUIREMENTS:
      • Experience with web development, REST API, and database management.
      • 1 - 4 years of experience in technical customer support, supporting SaaS enterprise software ideally.
      • Working knowledge of development languages such as JavaScript, Java, PHP, C#, Objective-C, Swift, Ruby, Python.
      • Strong desire to help people solve problems with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to a broad audience.
      • Ability to handle and prioritize a portfolio of tickets at various stages of resolution.
      • Ability to work weekends shifts.
NICE TO HAVE:
      • Basic familiarity with iOS & Android platforms.
      • Experience supporting open-source projects & their GitHub communities.
      • Experience with Shopify, Magento.
      • Excellent spoken and written English skills required.
      • Experience at our current stage and beyond ($50-200M ARR range, high growth, lots of change and building internal infrastructure).
WE'RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO CAN LIVE UP TO OUR VALUES:
      • GRIT - Problem-solving and perseverance capability in an ever-changing and growing environment.
      • TRUST - Willingness to trust our co-workers and to take ownership.
      • CANDOR - Ability to receive and give constructive feedback.

ABOUT US:

Algolia prides itself on being a pioneer and market leader offering an AI Search solution that empowers 17,000+ businesses to compose customer experiences at internet scale that predict what their users want with blazing fast search and web browse experience.

Algolia is part of a cadre of innovative new companies that are driving the next generation of software development, creating APIs that make developers’ lives easier; solutions that are better than building from scratch and better than having to tweak monolithic SaaS solutions.

In 2021, the company closed $150 million in series D funding and quadrupled its post-money valuation of $2.25 billion. Being well capitalized enables Algolia to continue to invest in its market leading platform, to better serve its thousands of customers–including Under Armor, Petsmart, Stripe, Gymshark, and Walgreens, to name just a few.
