Job DescriptionAbout the company
MeiliSearch’s mission is to create a best-in-class search experience for every website and application. We are building a blazingly fast and ultra-relevant search engine made in Rust that allows our partners to have a powerful search engine without initial configuration. Features such as typo-tolerance, filters, and synonyms are provided out-of-the-box.
As an open source solution, we strongly believe the best way to realize our vision is to leverage the open source community's power. We already have many integrations and SDKs to allow any developer to try MeiliSearch in their environment quickly. We have a vibrant connection with our community of early adopters and builders. We are in contact every day and eagerly listen to feedback from our contributors.
After a first round in 2020, we completed a $5 million round of funding in September 2021, and are backed by 5 leading international investors: LocalGlobe, Seedcamp,Kima Ventures, Mango Capital and CRV. We have already partnered with industry heavyweights like Louis Vuitton and Platform.sh.
We are a team of passionate people and our project is growing fast (+10K GitHub stars in 12 months). For us, the next step after building the basis of a strong open source solution is to tackle monetization through a SaaS product, and more specifically a Cloud-based offer.
