Intercom is the AI Customer Service company on a mission to help businesses provide incredible customer experiences.

Our AI agent Fin, the most advanced customer service AI agent on the market, lets businesses deliver always-on, impeccable customer service and ultimately transform their customer experiences for the better. Fin can also be combined with our Helpdesk to become a complete solution called the Intercom Customer Service Suite, which provides AI enhanced support for the more complex or high touch queries that require a human agent.

Founded in 2011 and trusted by nearly 30,000 global businesses, Intercom is setting the new standard for customer service. Driven by our core values, we push boundaries, build with speed and intensity, and consistently deliver incredible value to our customers.

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!

We’re looking for Senior Product Engineers to join the AI Infrastructure team to help Intercom build AI-powered products. Product Engineers in AI infrastructure work closely with other ML engineers and our ML Scientists teams. You will deeply understand our product, our ML tech stack, how we develop product, and how we can accelerate that process further.

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

AI infrastructure is building a platform to move extremely quickly, adapting to new AI advancements in a matter of days, but providing the safety shield to other engineers so our customers always get a good service. We often provide services at the core of AI systems, and write framework-level code that other engineers and scientists in the AI group use daily.

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 and change we deploy.

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

• 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.
• 5+ years of experience shipping high-quality products, preferably backend.
• 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, Python, Ruby etc.)
• Strong willingness to fight for good outcomes
• Ability to deep dive into any part of the tech stack.
• Bias towards progress over perfection.

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
• Generous paid time off above statutory minimum
• MacBooks are our standard, but we also offer Windows for certain roles when needed.
