What’s the opportunity? 

As part of Intercom’s drive towards IPO we’re growing fast and investing more in our flagship product, the Messenger. The Messenger Group is at the forefront of our mission to make business personal by providing the best Messenger experience for our customers and their end users.

We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a team focused on our Messenger product for mobile platforms. Our mobile SDKs are used by thousands of customers to reach millions of people, and they’re core to our strategy. They bring the power of Intercom’s Messenger, Articles, and outbound messaging capabilities to our customers’ mobile apps. This is an opportunity to help form a brand new mobile team and guide it from a standing start to high performance. You’ll manage a fully autonomous team with iOS and Android specialists in addition to full stack web engineers. You’ll work with a Product Manager and Product Designer on the team to evolve our mobile strategy to deliver as much impact as possible for our customers.

We’re one of the fastest-growing SaaS companies, growing revenue 40% year-over-year. Our size and trajectory provide many opportunities to quickly grow your career with the support of experienced engineering leaders in a supportive and inclusive culture.

What is it like to work for Intercom?

Our culture is open, friendly and inclusive — and this is something we are proud of. We are optimistic, passionate and positive. We like people who can stay focused with good work / life balance, and who are kind and humble but will speak their mind. We like to experiment, sometimes inventing things for the first time, but we stay pragmatic, starting small and focusing on the problem. We love people who genuinely want to learn and grow, and we take bets on helping people unlock the next step in their career. 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 in a pragmatic way.

• Supporting and driving this strategy to clear impact with the help of your team.
