What’s the opportunity?

You’ll collaborate with teams across Intercom, introduce new technologies and patterns, remove roadblocks for other engineers, and help improve developer experience and velocity. The work you do will directly shape the foundations of how we build products at Intercom.
Our team plays an essential role in enabling the broader company mission by delivering a fast, elegant Messenger, a powerful teammate experience, and a reliable, secure platform—all at scale, and all while shipping hundreds of changes to production every day.
