What's the opportunity? 

Over the past twelve months, we’ve seen rapidly growing demand for Software Engineers who thrive at the intersection of deep technical work, customer impact, and product strategy. As Intercom’s AI Agent for Customer Service, Fin, becomes mission-critical for our most strategic customers, we’re building a team of Forward Deployed Software Engineers to help bridge the gap between customer needs and product innovation.

As a Forward Deployed Software Engineer, you’ll work hands-on with some of Intercom’s most strategic customers, partnering closely with our R&D and Go-to-Market teams to design and deliver high-impact solutions. You’ll go beyond implementation — helping shape product direction, influencing roadmap decisions, and ensuring Fin delivers real, measurable business outcomes in complex, real-world environments.

If you’re excited by ownership, creativity, and solving ambiguous problems, and you want to work at the frontier of applied AI while collaborating with world-class Product, Engineering, and GTM teams, this role offers a rare opportunity to combine technical excellence with real customer impact.

What will I be doing? 

• Drive adoption of Fin by helping prospects unlock the power of Intercom’s AI capabilities to automate and scale their support operations

• You’re a strong coder. You have deep knowledge of at least one high-level programming language (for example, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, etc.). It doesn’t need to be a language we use today — great people are effective learners and are quick to pick up new tools or introduce better ways of working
• You’re able to prototype and ship software quickly, while maintaining a high bar for quality and a clear focus on business goals and outcomes
• You’re proficient in using and writing REST APIs to integrate systems effectively

What's the opportunity?

In the last six months, we experienced an increase in demand for software engineers who work closely with our most strategic customers and help bridge the gap between their business goals and our AI Agent for Customer Service, Fin.

As a Staff Forward Deployed Engineer, you’ll work directly with these customers and our Go-To-Market team to deeply understand use cases and design, build, and implement solutions for them. You’ll operate with a high degree of autonomy and trust: expected to set direction, own outcomes, and represent Intercom confidently in high-stakes customer contexts. As a result, you’ll play a pivotal role in revolutionising how our customers scale their support operations while unlocking meaningful business impact.

In addition, you’ll lead by example: acting as a cross-functional force multiplier who influences product direction with field insight and helps define what Forward Deployed Engineering means at Intercom.

If you’re looking for ownership, creativity, and the chance to steer R&D and Go-To-Market teams in a fast-paced environment, this role is for you.

What will I be doing?

• Lead the adoption of Fin by helping prospects unlock the power of Intercom’s AI capabilities to automate and scale their support operations. 
• Embed deeply with strategic customers to understand their business challenges and technical requirements, acting as a proactive partner who steers them toward outstanding results with Fin.
• Work hands-on with customers’ technical teams as a confident subject-matter expert and trusted advisor, coding side-by-side to drive projects to completion.
• Collaborate closely with Sales, Success, and Product teams, and actively influence their work to ensure seamless customer experiences, project success, and timely, actionable product feedback.
• Lead and evolve the Forward Deployed Engineering function, sharing insights and shaping how the role operates as it grows.
• Leverage connections across our strategic accounts to anticipate challenges, align stakeholders quickly and influence decisions that drive us to success.
• Provide guidance and mentorship to Forward Deployed Engineers and Solutions Engineers as we continue to scale.
  
  

What skills do I need?

• Ideally, you’ve built an exciting SaaS product in your previous roles and loved the satisfaction that comes with knowing that people around the world are using something you’ve created. Bonus points if you’re a former founder or early engineer at a startup.
• Demonstrated track record of autonomous decision-making, prioritisation and accountability for outcomes: such as 2+ years serving as the primary technical leader for a team.
• You are interested in AI/ML and able to ramp up on unfamiliar concepts quickly: absorbing new capabilities, limitations and trade-offs fast enough to guide customers and internal teams.
• You set the high bar for cross-functional collaboration. Skilled at navigating organisational boundaries, rallying diverse teams, and steering everyone toward the best outcome for our customers and Intercom.
• Deep knowledge of a high-level programming language (for example, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, etc.) but it doesn’t need to be a language that we use here. Great people are effective and learn what we use quickly (or introduce us to better ways of working).
• Decisive and pragmatic: know when to prototype and ship fast yourself, and when to escalate or delegate. Always keeping quality high and business goals front-of-mind.
• Proficient using and writing REST APIs to integrate systems effectively.
• Strong communicator who tailors the message to any audience. Can easily talk to engineers and non-technical audiences about the same topics at the right level of detail.
• Willing to travel and work on-site with customers to build strong relationships and deeply understand their needs.

What's the opportunity? 

The Research, Analytics & Data Science (RAD) team turns insight into action. We uncover customer, product, and business insights and translate them into tools and decision systems embedded directly into GTM workflows.

AI has unlocked an entirely new generation of internal tools for our GTM teams. We’re evolving from static dashboards to LLM and agent-powered workflows that do the work: auto-researching accounts, summarizing prior interactions, drafting personalized outreach, flagging renewal risk, and assembling decks and docs - enabling Sales and Success to focus on high-value conversations.

The RAD team partners closely with GTM Systems to define problems, solutions, and measure impact - from prototype to production.

This is a high-ownership role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, is energized by solving complex real-world problems, and is motivated by seeing their work translate into tangible business impact.

What will I be doing? 

• Design, evaluate, and ship AI-powered internal tools for GTM use cases - including account research & summaries, next-best-action recommendations, renewal propensity, pipeline risk detection, QBR/autobrief generation, and post-call summarization & follow-ups.
• Work end-to-end: Own the full lifecycle, from problem definition and data modeling to building production-ready tools, including writing Python backends and React frontends.
• Prototype fast, ship to learn: Rapidly build with users, then productionize quickly to iterate and deliver impact.
• Instrument for adoption and outcomes: Define success through real usage and measurable business impact (e.g., improved win rate, conversion, expansion).
• Evangelize and enable: Document playbooks, run enablement sessions, and help leaders operationalize new tooling across teams.

What skills do I need? 

• Proven track record of applied data science with measurable GTM impact - you’ve shipped models or tools that moved metrics like conversion, cycle time, or retention.
• LLM/ML application experience - familiarity with RAG, prompt and tool design, vector search, evals and have leveraged AI for development.
• Excellent SQL skills and fluency in Python or R, with experience applying analytical and statistical methods to business problems.
• Experience with orchestration tools (e.g., DBT, Airflow) for deploying reliable data workflows.
• Strong communication and empathy - ability to translate complex data concepts for non-technical stakeholders.
• Collaborative product mindset - comfort working closely with Sales and Success teams to turn ambiguity into clear deliverables.

What's the opportunity? 

Intercom is the AI Customer Service company on a mission to help businesses provide incredible customer experiences. Our AI agent Fin is the most advanced customer service AI on the market, allowing businesses to deliver always-on, perfect customer support.

We are seeking a commercially-minded engineering leader to lead our Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) New Business team in EMEA. This role is pivotal in helping Intercom scale its AI-first platform to the world’s most complex organisations.

You will own both the technical execution and the business value outcomes, ensuring that our high-stakes deployments result in tangible success for our customers.

About this role

This role is both strategic and hands-on. You will lead a Forward Deployed Engineering team that focuses on winning complex, large deals and navigating ambiguous customer engagements.

Unlike traditional engineering management roles, this position demands high commercial fluency and a tight feedback loop with our R&D teams. You will collaborate closely with Sales, Solutions and Product to not only deliver customer transformation but also to translate field experience into sharp, actionable feedback that shapes our roadmap.

This is a hands-on EM role — you’ll lead a team while remaining hands-on. We believe that an EM who occasionally works alongside ICs, actively engaging in strategic deals, will build up the knowledge and context required to inform strategic decision making and better support engineers in their team. This isn’t a temporary “player-coach” setup — it’s a deeply technical leadership role where technical guidance, architecture, demos, and product evaluation support are core to the job.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced engineering manager without prior Forward Deployed Engineering experience to step directly into the world of AI customer service. You’ll learn what it takes to run enterprise deployments, and create leverage for Intercom and our customers.

What will I be doing? 

As a hands-on leader, you will:

• Lead, coach, and nurture a high-performing FDE team while operating under pressure in high-stakes customer engagements.
• Own end-to-end outcomes through clarity in communication, speed of execution, tight coordination, and technical quality.
• Operate as a player-coach, actively engaging in strategic deals while developing team capabilities. We value leaders who are in the details, and “show, not tell”.
• Lead discovery, design, and delivery of tailored technical solutions, including PoCs, evaluations and business value assessments.
• Champion a customer-obsessed culture, noticing early indicators of success or failure in customer engagements and raising and correcting them with urgency.
• Support opportunities with technical guidance, architecture, demos, and product evaluation support, as well as sales expertise.
• Contribute to codifying successful deployments into reusable tools, playbooks, and inputs to the product roadmap, and create leverage for Intercom and our customers.
• Expand your scope over time, potentially supporting complex, seven-figure opportunities and representing Intercom and the FDE function externally through executive meetings and strategic events.

What skills do I need? 

• 3+ years of technical experience in roles such as Software Engineer, Forward Deployed Engineer, Solutions Architect, Applied AI or related technical roles.
• Having 2+ years of experience leading technical customer-facing teams, with a proven track record of mentoring and managing high-performing teams.
• Strong technical judgment and the ability to coach engineers through complex architectural trade-offs.
• Comfortable with a problem space that is ambiguous in nature, and capable of translating that ambiguity into clear signals for Product and Engineering and for positive customer outcomes.
• Ability to flex working hours to partner with global teams.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills.

Bonus skills & attributes 

• Experience selling and deploying AI, data, or highly technical products in complex enterprise environments.
• Curiosity and enthusiasm for AI, with a desire to learn how ML systems are developed and operated in production.
• Experience hiring and managing high-performing teams.

• Build scalable data products (dashboards, models, internal tools) that enable stakeholders to self-serve insights
• Help teams interact more directly with data (e.g. through better abstractions, semantic layers, or AI-powered interfaces)
• Raise the bar for how AI is used within RAD- sharing patterns, workflows and best practices
• Craft clear, compelling data stories and communicate recommendations across R&D and the broader company
• Contribute to and shape core RAD foundations, improving how the team operates

What skills do I need?

What’s the opportunity? 

We are seeking a commercially-minded engineering leader to build and lead our Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) New Business team. This role is pivotal in helping Intercom scale its AI-first platform to the world’s most complex organizations. 

You will own both the technical execution and the business value outcomes, ensuring that our high-stakes deployments result in tangible success for our customers.

About this Role

This role is both strategic and hands-on. You will lead a Forward Deployed Engineering team that focuses on winning complex, large deals and navigating ambiguous customer engagements. 

Unlike traditional engineering management roles, this position demands high commercial fluency and a tight feedback loop with our R&D teams. You will collaborate closely with Sales, Solutions and Product to not only deliver customer transformation but also to translate field experience into sharp, actionable feedback that shapes our roadmap. You will be responsible for codifying what works in the field into tools and playbooks that create leverage for the wider organization. 

What will I be doing? 

• Lead, coach, and nurture a high-performing FDE team while operating under pressure in high-stakes customer engagements.
• Own end-to-end outcomes through clarity in communication, speed of execution, tight coordination, and technical quality.
• Operate as a player-coach, actively engaging in strategic deals while developing team capabilities. We value leaders who are in the details, and “show, not tell”.
• Support complex, seven-figure opportunities with technical guidance, architecture, demos, and product evaluation support, as well as sales expertise.
• Codify successful deployments into reusable tools, playbooks, and inputs to the product roadmap, and create leverage for Intercom and our customers. 
• Champion a customer-obsessed culture, noticing early indicators of success or failure in customer engagements and raising and correcting them with urgency. 
• Lead discovery, design, and delivery of tailored technical solutions, including PoCs, evaluations and business value assessments. 
• Represent Intercom and the FDE function externally through executive meetings and strategic events.

What skills do I need? 

• 5+ years of technical experience in roles such as Software Engineer, Forward Deployed Engineer, Solutions Architect, Applied AI or related technical roles.
• Having 3+ years of experience leading technical customer-facing teams, with a proven track record of hiring, mentoring, and managing high-performing teams.
• Experience selling and deploying AI, data, or highly technical products in complex enterprise environments.
• Comfortable with a problem space that is ambiguous in nature, and capable of translating that ambiguity into clear signals for Product and Engineering and for positive customer outcomes.
• Ability to flex working hours to partner with global teams. Excellent communication and presentation skills.

This is a commercially fluent technical leader who can run enterprise deployments and shape how FDE operates at scale.
