What will I be doing?
* Contribute to our technical architecture as we grow. We scale to service requests from all our customers’ customers. We’re growing and so are they.
* Care about agility as much you care for scalability and availability. Continuous deployment keeps us focused on incremental releases. Even our biggest technical achievements roll out piece by piece, feature flagged out of sight.
* Contribute to all phases of software development including ideation, prototyping, design and implementation. This role has a mix of both hands-on development as well as lead/architecture work.
* Play an active role in hiring, mentoring and career development of other engineers
* Raise the bar for technical standards, performance, reliability, and operational excellence
Qualifications

* Significant, demonstrated impact that your work has had on the product and/or the teams

* Experience with distributed systems
* 2+ years of experience as the primary technical leader for a team
* Experience collaborating directly with product teams and designers, with a proven track record of delivering value to customers or users. Engineers at Intercom are pragmatists who work closely with cross-disciplinary teams and have a strong sense of product strategy.
