If you’re a problem solver, able to think outside the box and eager to nurture others and learn from them, then this is your challenge!
As a principal engineer working across the entire frontend stack, from design-system primitives to product-level architecture, you will shape how developers build with Algolia and how customers experience our products.
In the Frontend Experiences team, we’re on a mission to make it effortless for developers to build great search and discovery experiences on the front end, with libraries, components and tooling that are fast, accessible, and a pleasure to use. Our work reaches customers and their end users directly, on the web and on mobile, so the quality bar is high and the feedback loop is short.
Right now, that includes a cross-team, multi-quarter effort to evolve the Algolia Dashboard from a collection of product surfaces into one coherent environment: a new navigation and information architecture, a shared component foundation, and an interaction model that supports traditional configuration, conversational assistance and agentic workflows side by side.
The team is looking for an experienced individual who is well versed in defining, building and operating scalable architectures, with proven strengths in cross-team collaboration, taking solutions all the way through delivery to adoption by other engineering teams and by customers. You will play a pivotal role in architecting and implementing systems that play a central role across all of Algolia’s front-end products, including libraries that run in production on thousands of customer sites. You will also play a role in training/mentoring and leading team members.
