Product Designer

Algolia is on a mission to empower every company to create delightful Search & Discovery experiences. We power over 1.5 trillion searches a year, for more than 17,000 customers from 100+ countries. At Algolia, we are passionate about helping developers & product teams connect their users with what matters most in milliseconds!

We are looking for a passionate and empathetic Product Designer eager to be involved in the entire product development process, from early research and ideation to refining details, shipping, and post-launch improvements. You excel at identifying problems and opportunities, framing them in ways that guide your squad toward impactful solutions. You collaborate effectively across functions, helping to develop a strong vision and drive projects to completion. Motivated by goals and outcomes, you maintain focus on the big picture while paying attention to the details when necessary. You iterate quickly, leveraging data and user research to ensure your work is on the right path. As a champion of design thinking, you contribute not only within your squad but also to the broader design team and organization. You work humbly and kindly, embracing mistakes as learning opportunities. Continuous growth both for yourself and those around you is at the core of your approach.

The work here is interesting, challenging and fun. Here are a few examples of what we work on: 

• Designing search analytics and other business tools for our customers
• Improving our customer dashboard by building an amazing developer experience
• Developing and testing search patterns (used by millions of people)

• Artificial Intelligence & Generative AI

Your role will consist of:

• Design simple, data and research-based flows and experiences that delight our users
• Partner with PMs, engineers, other designers and stakeholders across the company to deliver products and features from conception to launch
• Effectively communicate conceptual ideas, detailed design, and design rationale verbally and visually to a variety of audiences
• Own the success or failure of your design work: validate your designs and initiate improvements
• Constantly seek and respectfully provide design feedback
• Help refine our processes and define best practices for design at Algolia

You might be a fit if you have:

• Experience designing and shipping digital products (not just websites)
• A well-rounded design skills set (including product thinking, UX, UI)
• Self-awareness and ability to collaborate cross-functionally
• An appreciation for the entire product development cycle: research, problem definition, ideation, solution design, validation and iteration
• Strong communicator of design work and your rationale behind proposals
• Excellent spoken and written English skills required
• Mindset focused on learning and professional growth

Ideally, you would also have:

• Prior work experience on a highly technical enterprise product
• Experience working in Figma in a team setting
• Passion for working collaboratively in a dynamic, international context
• Experience at our current stage and beyond ($50-200M ARR range, high growth, lots of change and building internal infrastructure)

FLEXIBLE WORKPLACE STRATEGY:

Algolia’s flexible workplace model is designed to empower all Algolians to fulfill our mission to power search and discovery with ease. We place an emphasis on an individual’s impact, contribution, and output, over their physical location. Algolia is a high-trust environment and many of our team members have the autonomy to choose where they want to work and when.

While we have a global presence with physical offices in Paris, NYC, London, Sydney and Bucharest, we also offer many of our team members the option to work remotely either as fully remote or hybrid-remote employees. Please note that positions listed as "Remote" are only available for remote work within the specified country. Positions listed within a specific city are only available in that location - depending on the nature of the role it may be available with either a hybrid-remote or in-office schedule.

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.
