We are looking for experienced, curious, and driven Solutions Engineers to help customers realise the full value of our platform in a fast-growing market.

This role is a critical part of Algolia’s go-to-market organisation, working closely with Sales and Solutions partners to drive revenue, customer adoption, and best practices.

• Understand and qualify customer goals with KPIs and effectively articulate Algolia’s ability to meet them
• Assist in the Sales process including discovery, demo, Proofs of Concept (POC), RFP responses & business justification
• Develop custom search applications leveraging the tools, frameworks, and partners of the Algolia ecosystem.
• Distill and advocate customer interests, needs and product feedback in order to relay to Product and Engineering teams
• Continuously learn and update skills and keep aware of industry trends in the Search and Discovery space, and contribute to thought leadership to make Algolia more accessible to the world.
• Work with the Solution Architects and Customer Success teams on seamless transition to the post sales process to ensure highly successful onboarding
