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.

• 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)
