At Algolia, we’re proud to be a pioneer and market leader in AI Search, empowering 18,000+ 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.
At Algolia, we’re proud to be a pioneer and market leader in AI Search and be part of a cadre of companies that are driving the next generation of software development, with composable APIs that make developers’ lives easier; solutions that are better than building from scratch using open APIs and better than having to adapt typical SaaS solutions.
We are looking for people that want to join our team to assist us in telling our story to the world’s largest companies and educate our enterprise audiences, bring our brand to life and help expand our reach.
We're looking for a Business Development Representative (BDR) to join our fast-paced Global xDR organisation. As a BDR at Algolia, you will play a critical role in driving pipeline growth by combining strategic outbound prospecting with timely engagement of high-intent inbound opportunities across your assigned accounts.
Working closely with Account Executives, Marketing, and cross-functional teams, you'll own the development of qualified pipeline through an account-based approach. You'll respond to inbound requests while proactively engaging target accounts to identify new opportunities and accelerate buyer engagement.
Reporting to a Regional xDR Manager or Team Lead, you'll use data, buyer intent signals, and personalised outreach to create meaningful conversations with prospects and deliver a best-in-class buying experience.
We're looking for someone who is adaptable, curious, self-motivated, and results-oriented, with a growth mindset and a passion for building relationships. You'll thrive in a collaborative environment, continuously seek to improve, and take ownership of your pipeline and business outcomes.
If you enjoy uncovering opportunities, using data to prioritise your efforts, and working cross-functionally to create revenue impact, we'd love to hear from you.
