Product Engineer London, England

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.
• 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?

• 2+ 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.
