Full Job Description

At Algolia, we’re proud to be a pioneer and market leader in AI Search, empowering 17,000+ businesses to deliver blazing-fast, predictive search and browse experiences at internet scale. Every week, we power over 30 billion search requests — four times more than Microsoft Bing, Yahoo, Baidu, Yandex, and DuckDuckGo combined. In 2021, we raised $150 million in Series D funding, quadrupling our valuation to $2.25 billion. This strong foundation enables us to keep investing in our market-leading platform and serving incredible customers like Under Armour, PetSmart, Stripe, Gymshark, and Walgreens. This Solutions Architect role is a critical part of Algolia’s go-to-market organisation, working closely with Sales and Solutions partners, as well as with select channel partners, to drive solution sales, customer adoption, and best practices. You will play a key role in helping prospects, customers and partners evaluate Algolia, understand its technical capabilities, and successfully apply it to their use cases. In this position, you will own the technical pre-sales relationship across opportunities and accounts. You will partner with Account Executives to demonstrate the product and underlying architecture, address technical and business objections, and deliver thoughtful, consultative solutions that result in a strong technical win and clear product fit. You will act as both a deep technical expert and a trusted advisor. This means being equally comfortable presenting an engaging solution to a CTO, collaborating with product managers, or building prototypes and integrations directly with customer engineers using Algolia’s APIs. You thrive in conversations with engineers, product leaders, and executives, and you know how to translate complex technical concepts into business value for diverse audiences. Beyond customer-facing work, you will serve as an advocate for customer needs internally, partnering with Product and Engineering, contributing to technical content, enabling
