Team Lead, Engineering - Billing & Usage

Algolia is a fast growing company that helps 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. Today, Algolia powers 1.5 Trillion searches a year – that’s 4 times more than Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Baidu and Yandex combined!

The Usage team aims to help Algolia grow as an agile business. To achieve that, we are building a powerful and flexible Usage Platform, allowing every product team in the company to release, track and monetize new products, while ensuring that customers understand and control their usage.

To that end, we are looking for a Team Lead to join the team and help us scale our Usage Platform. You will work on features and services that are critical for Algolia, from data pipelines ingesting very large amounts of logs from all our products to APIs that are relied upon to alert and charge customers based on their usage. You will also play a role in training, mentoring and leading team members.

Your role will consist of:

• Help the team plan, execute and ship releases respecting timelines and high-quality development, working closely with the product and leadership teams
• Hire, coach and mentor engineers to excel at their work and grow
• Be a key contributor to the design, development, operation and deployment of all features of the Usage Platform processing pipelines and APIs
• Be responsible for the quality and the robustness of the APIs and services
• Improve engineering quality, processes and tooling
• Work closely with the team’s Product Manager to help define the roadmap and assist internal stakeholders (other product teams) with releasing new products 

You might be a fit if you have:

• 2+ years in a managing/leading role
• Designed and operated data pipelines with high volume and throughput
• Experience designing data intensive applications leveraging relational (e.g. PostgreSQL) or NoSQL (e.g. Bigtable) databases
• Experience designing new applications with reliability, operability, and availability in mind
• Experience writing robust Go code
• Experience with GCP (especially Bigtable/BigQuery), Kubernetes, and Terraform

We’re looking for someone who can live our values:

• GRIT: Problem-solving and perseverance capability in an ever-changing and growing environment
• TRUST: Willingness to trust our co-workers and to take ownership
• CANDOR: Ability to receive and give constructive feedback.
• CARE: Genuine care about other team members, our clients and the decisions we make in the company.
• HUMILITY: Aptitude for learning from others, putting ego aside.

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.

ABOUT US:

Algolia prides itself on being a pioneer and market leader offering an AI Search solution that empowers 17,000+ businesses to compose customer experiences at internet scale that predict what their users want with blazing fast search and web browse experience. Algolia powers more than 30 billion search requests a week – four times more than Microsoft Bing, Yahoo, Baidu, Yandex and DuckDuckGo combined.

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.

In 2021, the company closed $150 million in series D funding and quadrupled its post-money valuation of $2.25 billion. Being well capitalized enables Algolia to continue to invest in its market leading platform, to better serve its thousands of customers–including Under Armor, Petsmart, Stripe, Gymshark, and Walgreens, to name just a few.
