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.
At Algolia, we are passionate about helping developers and product teams connect their users with what matters most, in milliseconds. Algolia provides the industry's most powerful search and discovery SaaS platform, driving richer engagement and success for over 17,000 companies worldwide.
Algolia is looking for a Solutions Engineering Manager to lead and grow our AMER Solutions Engineer (SE) team, covering the US, supporting Commercial & SMB SEs. Our SEs collaborate with Algolia users to understand their business challenges, architect and develop solutions, and serve as deep subject matter experts on Algolia's products and services, helping our prospects, customers, and users solve real-world problems through code, advice, and content.
Rolling up to the Director, Solutions Engineering as part of SE leadership, you will lead a team of approximately 5 Solutions Engineers, with direct accountability for technical wins, deal-level coaching, ramp of new hires, and partnership with Sales, Customer Success, and Product leaders across AMER. You will be the technical leader closest to our customers in the region, both internally and externally, and a critical part of how we continue to scale Solutions Engineering across AMER.
This is the right role for a hands-on technical leader who balances team development, customer-facing presence, and cross-functional execution. The ideal candidate combines a solid mix of management and business experience with technical knowledge, a passion for data driven leadership, and a coaching mindset, who is known for developing people, not just closing deals.
