Algolia
is a perfect fit for structured data and we expect our users to send us
their data via our REST API. While this works in many cases, there are a
lot situations where our users cannot send us their data via an API
call (example: static websites). We also find ourselves frequently
creating small crawling scripts or custom solutions like
DocSearch.
We believe there's a better way to tackle all those missing
opportunities. We are building a reusable, configurable and highly
scalable web crawler from scratch.
You
will be part of a small team willing to broaden the scope of "search"
at Algolia, and will be supported by two experienced developers, ready
to help you to grow and to work with you as a team to go a step further
in this project. If you want to find a place where you can learn and
have a huge impact at the same time, this job is made for you!
