Business Development Representative - Dutch Speaker

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 Duck Duck Go 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, Pet Smart, 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 Saa S solutions.
