Algolia was built to help users deliver an intuitive search-as-you-type experience on their websites and mobile apps. We provide a search API used by thousands of customers in more than 100 countries. Billions of search queries are answered every month thanks to the code we push every day into production.
We're looking for a
Tech Lead Front-end to join the Developer Experience (DX) team at Algolia,
onsite from the Paris office or in partial/full remote from France and the UK. We are responsible for providing the best developer experience to our users through the development of open source UI libraries such as
InstantSearch.js. InstantSearch libraries are sitting on top of the raw Algolia API, providing UI semantics that are easy to use and understand, like a SearchBox UI component to add to your webpage.
We're not using only one framework, but all of them (you don't need to know all of them though, we teach each others). We build open source tools for
Angular,
Vue.js,
React but also plain JavaScript (Vanilla JS ????). We do so because our users are constantly giving us feedback about their needs via
GitHub, our
discourse forum or our support system. We are at the
frontline of the developer experience at Algolia, a great position to have a big impact for both developers and end-users.
This is an opportunity for someone to help design and make an immense impact at a fast growing company. You should value and practice transparency, have the humility to accept your weaknesses and continuously strive to improve both personally and professionally.
Do you like, or would you like to, craft code, tools and libraries for developers? Do you love to design a clean API solving real-world use cases? Then apply and let's chat about it.
Coming right from an engineer in the team : “As a developer, I use a ton of different libraries to achieve my goals of building applications. Now I can go to the next level and learn how to build tools for developers to build their applications. It's a whole different challenge, I do it in the open source world and engage with my users.”.
???? Message from your future coworkers: we are a team of fifteen engineers all with different skills and backgrounds. What we like the most about our job is being able to code in the public on GitHub and have an immediate impact on our users by providing them tools that make them more productive.
We speak English 100% of our time. We do bi-weekly meetings and stand-up meetings. We, pre-covid, enjoy off-sites where we hack for one day, outside the office, on anything we want and then go onto a nice dinner followed by an escape game in Paris.
If you feel like you would love to work with us but you're wondering if you qualify given the requirements: apply and we will guide you. Do not hesitate, you can't know if you qualify if you don't apply.
Good luck! ????
