The way businesses talk to people online today is broken. Intercom is fixing it.

Intercom is the first to bring messaging products for sales, marketing & customer service to one platform, helping businesses avoid the stiff, spammy status quo and have real conversations that build real connections. Designed to feel like the messaging apps you use every day, Intercom lets you talk to consumers almost anywhere: inside your app, on your website, across social media and via email.

Today more than 30,000 businesses use our product to connect with a billion people worldwide. We have over 600 employees between our San Francisco headquarters, Chicago and Sydney support offices, and Dublin and London R&D office. In March of 2018 we closed our Series D and raised $125M bringing our valuation to $1.275B. Mary Meeker from Kleiner Perkins led that round and joined our board as an observer. To date, Intercom has raised $241M in funding.

Technical Challenges

As a Senior Product Engineer you will:

  • Contribute to our technical architecture as we grow. We scale to service requests from not only our customers, but their customers as well - and there are billions of them.

  • 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. Projects are kept short and tightly scoped. Teams build a weekly cadence of releases

  • Ship a change to production on your first day and a significant public release in your first week. That “day one” change is automatically deployed to production along with over 100 other deployments (on average) each weekday

  • Be proud of what you work on, obsess about the quality of the work you produce. Join us to do the best work of your career.

  • Have regular opportunity and support for career growth. We are constantly growing and forming new teams. For those who are motivated to lead, we prefer internal promotions for Engineering Lead and Engineering Director roles. We encourage and reward public speaking, blogging, open source contributions and community participation. We run events to share how we think and how we go about building great product.

Working at Intercom

Our culture is open and friendly and inclusive - and this is something we are proud of. 🙌

We are optimistic, passionate and positive. We like people who can stay focused and work hard and who are confident, yet kind and humble. We like to experiment, sometimes inventing things for the first time, but we stay pragmatic, starting small and simple in everything we do. We love people who genuinely want to learn and grow and take bets on high potential engineers on rapid trajectories. We’re opinionated by default, for example we run LESS software and ship continuously. We’re technically conservative and like to keep it simple, but where it means building better products we’ll double down on new technology like machine learning in a pragmatic way.
