What's the opportunity?

Fin is the #1 AI agent for customer service. It resolves over 1M customer conversations every week, and we're just getting started. We're inventing paradigms that didn't exist six months ago and discovering entirely new problem spaces every time we push the technology further.

This role sits within the Service Agent pillar: 12 teams and growing, building every capability that makes Fin work. You'll own 1-2 of the most strategically significant work streams in the pillar. These aren't static teams with stable roadmaps. We re-evaluate priorities at the pillar level constantly, spinning up and down work streams and dynamic teams to solve whatever matters most right now. The teams you lead six months in may look nothing like the ones you start with. You need to be okay with that.

The competitive landscape is intense. Fast-moving AI-native startups are shipping aggressively and going after the same deals we are. We need someone who thrives under that pressure and can maintain high standards while moving at startup speed.

What will you do?

You'll own strategically significant work streams end-to-end. You're accountable for outcomes, not just delivery cadence or team health, but whether the work actually moved the needle.

This is not a role for facilitators. You will be on the front line: deeply understanding the product, the problem, and the context. Sometimes that means writing code yourself. Sometimes it means doing the analysis, or driving cross-functional collaboration, or force-multiplying someone on your team who's stuck. There is a straight line between your work and the impact being delivered. You lead from the front.

We regularly spin up new work streams around emerging priorities. You'll bring together engineers who've never worked as a team, set high expectations, build momentum under aggressive timelines, and drive execution. Then the shape of your teams may change again. That's the job.

You'll develop senior engineers into leaders. We don't need someone who mentors juniors on the basics. We need someone who accelerates staff and senior engineers, who gives direct, actionable feedback that changes outcomes, and who grows the leadership capacity of the people around them.

You'll partner with the Engineering Director on pillar-level strategy. Where should we invest more? Where are we falling behind? What should we defund? You bring these opinions, backed by what you're seeing on the ground.

And you'll do all of this in an AI-first engineering culture. Every engineer has Claude Code with unlimited tokens and a sophisticated ecosystem of MCP servers, skills, and shared context. You'll push the boundaries of what's possible with AI-assisted development, both personally and through how you set up your teams.

What are we looking for?

The most important thing: you need to be an exceptional people leader AND personally action-oriented. Not one or the other. We don't want managers who are great with people but distant from the product. And we don't want hands-on operators who neglect the leadership craft. You build high-performing teams AND get personally stuck in to drive outcomes when it matters.

Beyond that:

Product-minded, not process-minded. You understand what you're building and why. You have opinions about the product, not just how the team operates. You can challenge a product direction, spot a gap in the strategy, and make calls about what work matters most.

Operated at real scale with startup energy. You've likely spent time at companies operating at significant scale. You've seen what large distributed systems look like in production and what it takes to ship reliably in that environment. But you also have urgency, resourcefulness, and a bias toward action over discussion.

AI fluency. You're actively experimenting with AI-assisted development, forming opinions about how it changes the way teams build software, and pushing your teams to adopt new ways of working. This is table stakes for this role.

Technically credible. You don't need to be the deepest engineer in the room, but you can hold your own. You can review an architecture proposal and ask the right questions. You can spot when a team is over-engineering or under-investing. Engineers respect your technical judgment.

Communication. You can explain to leadership why a team needs more investment, align multiple stakeholders around a complex project, have a difficult performance conversation, and unblock an engineer on a gnarly problem, all in the same day.

Extreme autonomy. You partner with the Engineering Director on where the pillar needs to go next. You identify problems, form convictions, and act on them. If you're the kind of manager who waits for direction, this isn't the right role.

Critical thinking about the business. You understand what Intercom is optimising for and translate that into team-level decisions. Which work streams need investment? Where are we falling behind? What should we stop doing to go harder somewhere else?

Why Intercom, why now?

Fin is #1, and the race is heating up. We built the leading AI agent for customer service, but fast-moving AI-native startups are coming for this space. The engineering decisions made in the next 12 months will determine who wins.

Intercom has been building for 15 years: deep product, massive customer base, strong revenue. But unlike most legacy SaaS companies, we made a successful pivot to AI. While most of SaaS trends down, Intercom trends up. We recently raised $250M to go even further even faster.

Every employee gets Claude Code with unlimited Opus 4.6 tokens and 1M context. We're investing heavily in platform capabilities (MCP servers, skills, shared tooling) that make AI-assisted development genuinely transformative. You'll be at the sharp edge of figuring out what this means for how teams work.

Big enough to have real resources, customers, and revenue. Small enough that you have genuine agency. Bold enough to make decisions that most companies of this size wouldn't. You come to Intercom if you want the impact of a startup with the backing of a company that's been winning for 15 years.

#LI-Hybrid

What's the opportunity?

Fin is the #1 AI agent for customer service. It resolves over 1M customer conversations every week, and we're just getting started. We're on the cutting edge of defining how AI agents should work — inventing paradigms that didn't exist six months ago and discovering entirely new problem spaces every time we push the technology further.

This role sits at the heart of the Service Agent pillar — 12 teams and growing, building every capability that makes Fin work. You'll partner at the strategic pillar level: broad context across work streams, deep technical understanding of how Fin operates end-to-end, and the autonomy to decide where you need to go next. When we need a new work stream spun up from scratch — a brand new team, an ambiguous problem space, aggressive timelines — you're the person who makes that happen.

The competitive landscape is intense. Fast-moving AI-native startups are coming hard for this space, shipping aggressively and going after the same deals we are. We need someone who thrives under that pressure, who can maintain technical excellence while moving at startup speed within a company that has the resources and customer base to make that speed count.

What will you do?

• Partner at the strategic pillar level. You'll have broad context across work streams and use that to inform technical strategy and investment priorities. What should we care about? Where should we invest? Where do you need to step in? These are your decisions.
• Spin up 0-to-1 work streams. Bring together engineers who've never worked as a team, disambiguate the problem space, build momentum under aggressive timelines, set high expectations, and drive execution.
• Execute on the most ambiguous, highest-stakes problems. You're hands-on. You write code, you ship features, you're deep in the weeds. We've seen too many Principal Engineers who are brilliant but too far from execution to be effective here.
• Lead experimental work at the AI frontier. Run your own A/B tests, do prompt engineering, build evals, and calibrate accuracy, cost, and latency for LLM-powered features. Much of what we're building are new paradigms for customer-facing software.
• Shape long-term technical strategy through execution. Your hands-on work informs the architecture. You're simultaneously building and thinking about what needs to change about how we build products — data models, system design, the shift from GUI-first to agent-first interfaces.
• Work across the full stack in an AI-first development environment. Every engineer has Claude Code with unlimited tokens and a sophisticated ecosystem of MCP servers, skills, and shared context. You'll push the boundaries of what's possible with AI-assisted development and help shape how the entire engineering org works.
• Raise the bar for the people around you. Give direct, actionable feedback that changes outcomes. We don't need someone who mentors juniors on the basics — we need someone who can accelerate and grow the senior and staff engineers around them.

What are we looking for?

The core requirement: engineering depth and product thinking. We need someone who combines deep engineering ability with strong product and design instincts — not one or the other. We don't want engineers who are technically brilliant but disconnected from the product. And we don't want product-minded engineers who have great instincts but can't execute at the level this work demands. You need to be able to both build complex systems AND identify the right problems to solve. This is the single most important dimension we evaluate on.

Beyond that:

• Operated at real scale and has builder energy. You've likely spent time at companies operating at significant scale — the kind of environment where you've seen what large-scale distributed systems actually look like in production. But you also have startup DNA: urgency, resourcefulness, a bias toward building over discussing.
• AI fluency. You're actively experimenting with AI-assisted development, pushing the boundaries of what's possible, and forming opinions about how it changes the way teams build software. This matters more than any specific stack experience.
• Deep technical depth with breadth. You can go deep into the weeds on at least one technical domain, but you also navigate complex multi-team systems with ease. In conversation, you move fluidly from business context to technical strategy to implementation details.
• Communication as a superpower. You can explain to leadership why a technical investment matters, align multiple teams around a complex project, and then walk an engineer through the gnarly implementation details. This role lives and dies on your ability to communicate across every level.
• Extreme autonomy. You partner with the Engineering Director on where you think the pillar needs to go next. You identify problems, form convictions, and act on them. If you're the kind of engineer who waits to be told what to work on, this isn't the right role.
• Critical thinking about the business. You understand what Intercom is optimizing for and translate that into technical decisions. Which work streams need investment? Where are we falling behind? What should we defund to go harder somewhere else? You think at this level naturally.
• At least ~10+ years of experience, with significant time as a technical leader driving complex projects across multiple teams and stakeholders.
• Stack agnostic. We use Ruby on Rails, React (migrating from Ember), and AWS. But AI tools increasingly abstract the stack — what matters is your ability to learn, build, and operate effectively with tools like Claude Code. If you're great with a high-level programming language and fluent with AI-assisted development, you'll be productive fast.

Why Intercom, why now?

Fin is #1 — and the race is heating up. We built the leading AI agent for customer service, but fast-moving AI-native startups are coming for this space. This is one of the most consequential competitive moments in tech history, and the engineering decisions made in the next 12 months will determine who wins.

We're investing heavily in the platform capabilities — MCP servers, skills, shared tooling — that make AI-assisted development genuinely transformative. You'll be at the sharp edge of figuring out what this means for how teams work.

The sweet spot. Big enough to have real resources, customers, and revenue. Small enough that you have genuine agency. Bold enough to make decisions that most companies of this size wouldn't. You come to Intercom if you want the impact of a startup with the backing of a company that's been winning for 15 years.

Speed is something we fight for every day at Intercom, and we believe Berlin is built for people who share that instinct. We are drawn to Berlin by its rare blend of deep technical talent and rich creative culture – all within a vibrant, globally connected city that’s close to our R&D hubs in Dublin and London. It’s a place where the best of the best technical talent thrive, and where people from around the world are eager to relocate and build ambitious products.

Our ambition is to hire 100 people in Berlin over the year ahead across engineering, AI, data science, product, and design. We believe this is the most exciting time to join, be the founding R&D talent in the region and make a lasting impact as we build the world's number one customer agent!

Intercom is hiring a Staff Product Designer to push the boundaries of product craft.

We are one of the most design-driven and AI first technology companies. Fin, our AI Agent is the best performing, most widely adopted, and highest grossing AI service agent on the market. We are shaping the future of how businesses communicate with their customers through AI and humans. Our product is used by millions, and our design team plays a critical role in making it world-class.

Why you should join Intercom today

AI is transforming everything—fast. We’re at the forefront, shaping the AI Agent category and redefining customer service with Fin. Soon, Fin will handle the vast majority of customer interactions, setting a new standard for support.

This shift isn’t just changing what we build—it’s changing how we work. Our team is constantly evolving, integrating AI into design, development, and go-to-market strategies.

At Intercom, design is in our DNA. With 60+ designers across R&D and Brand—and two co-founders from design—you’ll never have to fight for your place at the table. Here, designers lead from the start, shaping products that millions of people interact with daily. If you want to work on cutting-edge AI experiences that push the boundaries of product design, there’s no better place to be.

Why this role exists

In a world where it’s easier and easier to get software off the ground and to 75% built, it’s the last 25% that really matters. We need deep craft specialists—people who will raise the quality bar, bring a spark of creativity, drive best-in-class interaction and visual design, and push execution excellence across our most strategic product areas. This is not a strategy-only or people-management role. We need a maker, a doer, a leader in craft.

If you have a deep passion for interaction design, product thinking, and pixel-perfect execution—and the leadership and autonomy to drive impact without waiting for direction—this is the role for you.

Must Have Experience

We’re looking for a world-class IC designer who:

• Has shipped complex, high-quality software products.
• Designs for multiple surfaces—desktop, mobile, chat interfaces, AI first and emerging experiences.
• Balances speed and detail—knows when to move fast and when to obsess over the last 1%.
• Thinks end-to-end—from big-picture systems thinking to the smallest interaction detail.
• Understands engineering and can build prototypes to communicate ideas (Framer, Loveable, Windsurf, Vercel, Figma, code etc…).
• Has taste. You know what great design looks and feels like, and you push to get there.
• Can tell a compelling story—articulating your decisions with clarity and conviction.
• Operates with agency, ownership, and autonomy—doesn’t wait to be told what to do.

Who This Role Is Not For

This role is not for you if:

• You prefer strategy, research or system design over execution—this is a craft-heavy role.
• You need a lot of direction or structured processes—you should thrive in open-endedness and ambiguity.
• You don’t obsess over details—we’re looking for someone who sweats the pixels.
• You primarily work on marketing sites—this role is about designing deep, functional software experiences.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

What you’ll be doing:

• Owning end-to-end design for high-impact product areas from concept to execution.
• Defining new interaction patterns and design paradigms for Fin, our automation, and AI-powered tools.
• Sketching, prototyping, and testing ideas at different fidelities to validate decisions.
• Working closely with engineers and PMs to define problems, move quickly, and deliver high-quality solutions.
• Maintaining high standards of craft while balancing speed and execution.
• Contributing to design culture—mentoring others, pushing for greatness in a team, refining processes, and sharing knowledge inside and outside Intercom.

What Success Looks Like

You’ll know you’re successful if:

1. You’ve raised the design bar. Your work is referenced as an example of exceptional craft and taste.
2. You’ve shipped product with major business impact. The areas you own are visibly better because of you.
3. You operate autonomously. You don’t need direction—you see what needs to be done and do it.
4. Engineers love working with you. Your designs are considered, clear, and easy to implement.
5. Your peers trust your judgment. When you push for quality, people listen.

Interview Process

We understand that interviewing for a new role is both time and energy consuming–we aim to be thorough, speedy and transparent in our approach. You should expect for the entire process to be no more than 4 weeks from start to finish. You’ll meet with various members of our team and have the opportunity to fully validate that Intercom and the role is the right fit for you. 

Ready to build something great?

If you're driven to push the boundaries of product design and have the craft, autonomy, and taste to make a real impact, we want to hear from you.

Benefits 

We are a well treated bunch, with awesome benefits! If there’s something important to you that’s not on this list, talk to us! 

• Competitive salary, annual bonus and equity
• Regular compensation reviews - we reward great work!
• Unlimited access to Claude Code and best-in-class AI tools; experimentation & building is encouraged & celebrated.

Our ambition is to hire 100 people in Berlin over the year ahead across engineering, AI, data science, product, and design. We believe this is the most exciting time to join, be the founding R&D talent in the region and make a lasting impact as we build the world's number one customer agent!

Intercom is hiring a Principal Product Designer to push the boundaries of product craft.

We are one of the most design-driven and AI first technology companies. Fin, our AI Agent is the best performing, most widely adopted, and highest grossing AI service agent on the market. We are shaping the future of how businesses communicate with their customers through AI and humans. Our product is used by millions, and our design team plays a critical role in making it world-class.

Why you should join Intercom today

AI is transforming everything—fast. We’re at the forefront, shaping the AI Agent category and redefining customer service with Fin. Soon, Fin will handle the vast majority of customer interactions, setting a new standard for support.

This shift isn’t just changing what we build—it’s changing how we work. Our team is constantly evolving, integrating AI into design, development, and go-to-market strategies.

At Intercom, design is in our DNA. With 60+ designers across R&D and Brand—and two co-founders from design—you’ll never have to fight for your place at the table. Here, designers lead from the start, shaping products that millions of people interact with daily. If you want to work on cutting-edge AI experiences that push the boundaries of product design, there’s no better place to be.

Why this role exists

In a world where it’s easier and easier to get software off the ground and to 75% built, it’s the last 25% that really matters. We need deep craft specialists—people who will raise the quality bar, bring a spark of creativity, drive best-in-class interaction and visual design, and push execution excellence across our most strategic product areas. This is not a strategy-only or people-management role. We need a maker, a doer, a leader in craft.

If you have a deep passion for interaction design, product thinking, and pixel-perfect execution—and the leadership and autonomy to drive impact without waiting for direction—this is the role for you.

Must Have Experience

We’re looking for a world-class IC designer who:

• Has shipped complex, high-quality software products.
• Designs for multiple surfaces—desktop, mobile, chat interfaces, AI first and emerging experiences.
• Balances speed and detail—knows when to move fast and when to obsess over the last 1%.
• Thinks end-to-end—from big-picture systems thinking to the smallest interaction detail.
• Understands engineering and can build prototypes to communicate ideas (Framer, Loveable, Windsurf, Vercel, Figma, code etc…).
• Has taste. You know what great design looks and feels like, and you push to get there.
• Can tell a compelling story—articulating your decisions with clarity and conviction.
• Operates with agency, ownership, and autonomy—doesn’t wait to be told what to do.

Who This Role Is Not For

This role is not for you if:

• You prefer strategy, research or system design over execution—this is a craft-heavy role.
• You need a lot of direction or structured processes—you should thrive in open-endedness and ambiguity.
• You don’t obsess over details—we’re looking for someone who sweats the pixels.
• You primarily work on marketing sites—this role is about designing deep, functional software experiences.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

What you’ll be doing:

• Owning end-to-end design for high-impact product areas from concept to execution.
• Defining new interaction patterns and design paradigms for Fin, our automation, and AI-powered tools.
• Sketching, prototyping, and testing ideas at different fidelities to validate decisions.
• Working closely with engineers and PMs to define problems, move quickly, and deliver high-quality solutions.
• Maintaining high standards of craft while balancing speed and execution.
• Contributing to design culture—mentoring others, pushing for greatness in a team, refining processes, and sharing knowledge inside and outside Intercom.

What Success Looks Like

You’ll know you’re successful if:

1. You’ve raised the design bar. Your work is referenced as an example of exceptional craft and taste.
2. You’ve shipped product with major business impact. The areas you own are visibly better because of you.
3. You operate autonomously. You don’t need direction—you see what needs to be done and do it.
4. Engineers love working with you. Your designs are considered, clear, and easy to implement.
5. Your peers trust your judgment. When you push for quality, people listen.

Interview Process

We understand that interviewing for a new role is both time and energy consuming–we aim to be thorough, speedy and transparent in our approach. You should expect for the entire process to be no more than 4 weeks from start to finish. You’ll meet with various members of our team and have the opportunity to fully validate that Intercom and the role is the right fit for you. 

Ready to build something great?

If you're driven to push the boundaries of product design and have the craft, autonomy, and taste to make a real impact, we want to hear from you.

Benefits 

We are a well treated bunch, with awesome benefits! If there’s something important to you that’s not on this list, talk to us! 

• Competitive salary, annual bonus and equity
• Regular compensation reviews - we reward great work!
• Unlimited access to Claude Code and best-in-class AI tools; experimentation & building is encouraged & celebrated.

It’s a place where the best of the best technical talent thrive, and where people from around the world are eager to relocate and build ambitious products.

What's the opportunity? 

At Intercom, you will be a product engineer - someone who solves real customer problems through a smart and efficient application of your technical knowledge and your tools. You’ll be part of one of our multidisciplinary product teams, where you will build both back-end and front-end systems, and work closely with designers, product managers, researchers, and data analysts.

We’re facing many exciting scaling challenges and we’re building a robust platform where your expertise can be applied to areas such as building a beautiful messenger composer, rule matching, deliverability, security, app availability and machine learning, to name a few. 

What will I be doing? 

As an experienced engineer you will:

• Develop technical plans and contribute to our technical architecture as we scale our products to serve tens of millions of people every day.
• Write Ruby code, which knits together a lot of AWS, infrastructure, platform and SaaS technologies that form the core of Intercom’s backend infrastructure
• Ship a change to production on your first day and a feature in your first week. That “day one” change is automatically deployed to production along with 100 other deployments (on average) each weekday.
• Build using the best tools in the industry. We invest heavily in AI-powered developer tools that remove friction and help you focus on solving meaningful problems.
• Grow your team’s capacity by mentoring other engineers and interviewing candidates. This is a chance to be an integral part of building and growing a team.

What skills do I need? 

• 4+ years of industry experience in a software engineering role, preferably building a SaaS product. You can demonstrate significant impact that your work has had on the product and/or the team.
• Deep knowledge of a high-level programming language (for example, Ruby, Python, Javascript 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)
• Experience collaborating directly with product teams and designers, and a proven track record of delivering value to customers or users. Engineers at Intercom are pragmatists who work closely with others on cross-disciplinary teams
• Experience with Distributed systems

What happens when I apply? 

First, apply so we can review your CV. As the next step, we will send you our take-home test to work on in your own time. You can find more details on the questions and how we evaluate answers here. The following step will be a phone interview with one of our engineers which will focus on technical and culture contribution questions (this step is sometimes broken down into 2 interviews). The final step is a virtual onsite interview.

#LI-Hybrid

What's the opportunity?

Fin is the #1 AI agent for customer service. It resolves over 1M customer conversations every week, and we're just getting started. We're inventing paradigms that didn't exist six months ago and discovering entirely new problem spaces every time we push the technology further.

This role sits within the Service Agent pillar: 12 teams and growing, building every capability that makes Fin work. You'll own 1-2 of the most strategically significant work streams in the pillar. These aren't static teams with stable roadmaps. We re-evaluate priorities at the pillar level constantly, spinning up and down work streams and dynamic teams to solve whatever matters most right now. The teams you lead six months in may look nothing like the ones you start with. You need to be okay with that.

The competitive landscape is intense. Fast-moving AI-native startups are shipping aggressively and going after the same deals we are. We need someone who thrives under that pressure and can maintain high standards while moving at startup speed.

What will you do?

You'll own strategically significant work streams end-to-end. You're accountable for outcomes, not just delivery cadence or team health, but whether the work actually moved the needle.

This is not a role for facilitators. You will be on the front line: deeply understanding the product, the problem, and the context. Sometimes that means writing code yourself. Sometimes it means doing the analysis, or driving cross-functional collaboration, or force-multiplying someone on your team who's stuck. There is a straight line between your work and the impact being delivered. You lead from the front.

We regularly spin up new work streams around emerging priorities. You'll bring together engineers who've never worked as a team, set high expectations, build momentum under aggressive timelines, and drive execution. Then the shape of your teams may change again. That's the job.

You'll develop senior engineers into leaders. We don't need someone who mentors juniors on the basics. We need someone who accelerates staff and senior engineers, who gives direct, actionable feedback that changes outcomes, and who grows the leadership capacity of the people around them.

You'll partner with the Engineering Director on pillar-level strategy. Where should we invest more? Where are we falling behind? What should we defund? You bring these opinions, backed by what you're seeing on the ground.

And you'll do all of this in an AI-first engineering culture. Every engineer has Claude Code with unlimited tokens and a sophisticated ecosystem of MCP servers, skills, and shared context. You'll push the boundaries of what's possible with AI-assisted development, both personally and through how you set up your teams.

What are we looking for?

The most important thing: you need to be an exceptional people leader AND personally action-oriented. Not one or the other. We don't want managers who are great with people but distant from the product. And we don't want hands-on operators who neglect the leadership craft. You build high-performing teams AND get personally stuck in to drive outcomes when it matters.

Beyond that:

Product-minded, not process-minded. You understand what you're building and why. You have opinions about the product, not just how the team operates. You can challenge a product direction, spot a gap in the strategy, and make calls about what work matters most.

Operated at real scale with startup energy. You've likely spent time at companies operating at significant scale. You've seen what large distributed systems look like in production and what it takes to ship reliably in that environment. But you also have urgency, resourcefulness, and a bias toward action over discussion.

AI fluency. You're actively experimenting with AI-assisted development, forming opinions about how it changes the way teams build software, and pushing your teams to adopt new ways of working. This is table stakes for this role.

Technically credible. You don't need to be the deepest engineer in the room, but you can hold your own. You can review an architecture proposal and ask the right questions. You can spot when a team is over-engineering or under-investing. Engineers respect your technical judgment.

Communication. You can explain to leadership why a team needs more investment, align multiple stakeholders around a complex project, have a difficult performance conversation, and unblock an engineer on a gnarly problem, all in the same day.

Extreme autonomy. You partner with the Engineering Director on where the pillar needs to go next. You identify problems, form convictions, and act on them. If you're the kind of manager who waits for direction, this isn't the right role.

Critical thinking about the business. You understand what Intercom is optimising for and translate that into team-level decisions. Which work streams need investment? Where are we falling behind? What should we stop doing to go harder somewhere else?

Why Intercom, why now?

Fin is #1, and the race is heating up. We built the leading AI agent for customer service, but fast-moving AI-native startups are coming for this space. The engineering decisions made in the next 12 months will determine who wins.

Intercom has been building for 15 years: deep product, massive customer base, strong revenue. But unlike most legacy SaaS companies, we made a successful pivot to AI. While most of SaaS trends down, Intercom trends up. We recently raised $250M to go even further even faster.

Every employee gets Claude Code with unlimited Opus 4.6 tokens and 1M context. We're investing heavily in platform capabilities (MCP servers, skills, shared tooling) that make AI-assisted development genuinely transformative. You'll be at the sharp edge of figuring out what this means for how teams work.

Big enough to have real resources, customers, and revenue. Small enough that you have genuine agency. Bold enough to make decisions that most companies of this size wouldn't. You come to Intercom if you want the impact of a startup with the backing of a company that's been winning for 15 years.

We’re particularly interested in engineers who have:

• A track record of working on model training or model inference at scale, or on low‑level GPU coding (e.g. CUDA, Triton). Experience with one is great, multiple is even better.

What will I be doing?

As a Senior AI Infrastructure Engineer focused on model training and inference, you will:

• Implement and scale training pipelines for large transformer and LLM models, from data ingestion and preprocessing through distributed training and evaluation.
• Build and optimize inference services that deliver low‑latency, high‑reliability experiences for our customers, including autoscaling, routing, and fallbacks.
• Work on GPU‑level performance: tuning kernels, improving utilization, and identifying bottlenecks across our training and inference stack.
• Collaborate closely with ML scientists to implement cutting edge training and inference methods and bring them to production.
• Play an active role in hiring, mentoring, and developing other engineers on the team.
• Raise the bar for technical standards, reliability, and operational excellence across Intercom’s AI platform.

What's the opportunity?

Fin is the #1 AI agent for customer service. It resolves over 1M customer conversations every week, and we're just getting started. We're on the cutting edge of defining how AI agents should work — inventing paradigms that didn't exist six months ago and discovering entirely new problem spaces every time we push the technology further.

This role sits at the heart of the Service Agent pillar — 12 teams and growing, building every capability that makes Fin work. You'll partner at the strategic pillar level: broad context across work streams, deep technical understanding of how Fin operates end-to-end, and the autonomy to decide where you need to go next. When we need a new work stream spun up from scratch — a brand new team, an ambiguous problem space, aggressive timelines — you're the person who makes that happen.

The competitive landscape is intense. Fast-moving AI-native startups are coming hard for this space, shipping aggressively and going after the same deals we are. We need someone who thrives under that pressure, who can maintain technical excellence while moving at startup speed within a company that has the resources and customer base to make that speed count.

What will you do?

• Partner at the strategic pillar level. You'll have broad context across work streams and use that to inform technical strategy and investment priorities. What should we care about? Where should we invest? Where do you need to step in? These are your decisions.
• Spin up 0-to-1 work streams. Bring together engineers who've never worked as a team, disambiguate the problem space, build momentum under aggressive timelines, set high expectations, and drive execution.
• Execute on the most ambiguous, highest-stakes problems. You're hands-on. You write code, you ship features, you're deep in the weeds. We've seen too many Principal Engineers who are brilliant but too far from execution to be effective here.
• Lead experimental work at the AI frontier. Run your own A/B tests, do prompt engineering, build evals, and calibrate accuracy, cost, and latency for LLM-powered features. Much of what we're building are new paradigms for customer-facing software.
• Shape long-term technical strategy through execution. Your hands-on work informs the architecture. You're simultaneously building and thinking about what needs to change about how we build products — data models, system design, the shift from GUI-first to agent-first interfaces.
• Work across the full stack in an AI-first development environment. Every engineer has Claude Code with unlimited tokens and a sophisticated ecosystem of MCP servers, skills, and shared context. You'll push the boundaries of what's possible with AI-assisted development and help shape how the entire engineering org works.
• Raise the bar for the people around you. Give direct, actionable feedback that changes outcomes. We don't need someone who mentors juniors on the basics — we need someone who can accelerate and grow the senior and staff engineers around them.

What are we looking for?

The core requirement: engineering depth and product thinking. We need someone who combines deep engineering ability with strong product and design instincts — not one or the other. We don't want engineers who are technically brilliant but disconnected from the product. And we don't want product-minded engineers who have great instincts but can't execute at the level this work demands. You need to be able to both build complex systems AND identify the right problems to solve. This is the single most important dimension we evaluate on.

Beyond that:

• Operated at real scale and has builder energy. You've likely spent time at companies operating at significant scale — the kind of environment where you've seen what large-scale distributed systems actually look like in production. But you also have startup DNA: urgency, resourcefulness, a bias toward building over discussing.
• AI fluency. You're actively experimenting with AI-assisted development, pushing the boundaries of what's possible, and forming opinions about how it changes the way teams build software. This matters more than any specific stack experience.
• Deep technical depth with breadth. You can go deep into the weeds on at least one technical domain, but you also navigate complex multi-team systems with ease. In conversation, you move fluidly from business context to technical strategy to implementation details.
• Communication as a superpower. You can explain to leadership why a technical investment matters, align multiple teams around a complex project, and then walk an engineer through the gnarly implementation details. This role lives and dies on your ability to communicate across every level.
• Extreme autonomy. You partner with the Engineering Director on where you think the pillar needs to go next. You identify problems, form convictions, and act on them. If you're the kind of engineer who waits to be told what to work on, this isn't the right role.
• Critical thinking about the business. You understand what Intercom is optimizing for and translate that into technical decisions. Which work streams need investment? Where are we falling behind? What should we defund to go harder somewhere else? You think at this level naturally.
• At least ~10+ years of experience, with significant time as a technical leader driving complex projects across multiple teams and stakeholders.
• Stack agnostic. We use Ruby on Rails, React (migrating from Ember), and AWS. But AI tools increasingly abstract the stack — what matters is your ability to learn, build, and operate effectively with tools like Claude Code. If you're great with a high-level programming language and fluent with AI-assisted development, you'll be productive fast.

Why Intercom, why now?

Fin is #1 — and the race is heating up. We built the leading AI agent for customer service, but fast-moving AI-native startups are coming for this space. This is one of the most consequential competitive moments in tech history, and the engineering decisions made in the next 12 months will determine who wins.

A rare pivot that actually worked. Intercom has been building for 15 years — deep product, massive customer base, strong revenue. But unlike most legacy SaaS companies, we made a successful pivot to AI. While most of SaaS trends down, Intercom trends up. We recently raised $250M to go even further even faster..

AI-first engineering culture. Every engineer gets Claude Code with unlimited Opus 4.6 tokens and 1M context. We're investing heavily in the platform capabilities — MCP servers, skills, shared tooling — that make AI-assisted development genuinely transformative. You'll be at the sharp edge of figuring out what this means for how teams work.

The sweet spot. Big enough to have real resources, customers, and revenue. Small enough that you have genuine agency. Bold enough to make decisions that most companies of this size wouldn't. You come to Intercom if you want the impact of a startup with the backing of a company that's been winning for 15 years.

Speed is something we fight for every day at Intercom, and we believe Berlin is built for people who share that instinct. We are drawn to Berlin by its rare blend of deep technical talent and rich creative culture – all within a vibrant, globally connected city that’s close to our R&D hubs in Dublin and London. It’s a place where the best of the best technical talent thrive, and where people from around the world are eager to relocate and build ambitious products.

Our ambition is to hire 100 people in Berlin over the year ahead across engineering, AI, data science, product, and design. We believe this is the most exciting time to join, be the founding R&D talent in the region and make a lasting impact as we build the world's number one customer agent!

What's the opportunity? 

We’re looking for Senior Product Engineers to join the AI Group to build Intercom’s AI-powered products. Product Engineers working in ML work closely with both our ML Scientists and product teams. They must deeply understand our product, our customers, our ML tech stack and our broader product stack. 

Our group is responsible for defining new ML features, researching appropriate algorithms and technologies, and rapidly getting first prototypes in our customers’ hands.

We are an extremely product focussed team. We work in partnership with Product and Design functions of teams we support. Our team's dedicated Engineers enable us to move to production fast, often shipping to beta in weeks after a successful offline test.

We are very passionate about applying machine learning technology, and have productized everything from classic supervised models, to cutting-edge unsupervised clustering algorithms, to novel applications of transformer neural networks. We test and measure the real customer impact of each model we deploy.

If you are an experienced product engineer who takes an analytical approach to development and has some hands-on experience with ML systems, we'd love to hear from you! 

What will I be doing? 

Product Engineers in the AI Group

• Build the systems that power Intercom’s flagship AI products. This usually means working in our ML Python tech stack, but at times also means working across the product on our Rails app too.

• Work alongside our ML Scientists bring proof-of-concept code to production; ensuring it’s robust and scalable for real-world use.

• Partner with product teams outside of our group, to shape the best AI-powered product experience for our customers..

• Contribute to all phases of software development including ideation, prototyping, and implementation and testing.

• Play an active role in the hiring, mentoring, and career development of other engineers.

• Raise the bar for technical standards, performance, reliability, and operational excellence within the group and across Intercom.

Profile we’re looking for 

These are meant to be indicative, not hard requirements.

• 5+ years of experience shipping high-quality products.

• No ML experience required. We believe you can be highly effective immediately by bringing excellent software engineering skills, and learn ML as you work on the team.

• You can demonstrate significant impact in the work that you have done.

• You take pride in having strong technical fundamentals; you love learning and are willing to work hard to invest in your development.

• Deep knowledge of a high-level programming language (for example, Ruby, Python, Javascript etc.) but it doesn’t need to be a language that we use here!

• Strong willingness to fight for good outcomes

• Bias towards progress over perfection

• BSc in Computer Science, Maths or Statistics or related discipline 

Bonus skills & attributes 

• Previous experience in data analytics, or statistical role
