What will I be doing? 

• 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 100s of other deployments each weekday. Each deployment is live for millions of users within minutes.
• Work in a cross functional team with design, product, and engineering.
• Be involved in the full software lifecycle, by contributing in technical design meetings, providing feedback, collaborating with other engineers to execute a project, and deploying it to production.
• Bank End: Write Ruby code, which knits together a lot of AWS, infrastructure, platform and SaaS technologies that form the core of Intercom’s backend infrastructure.
• Front End: Write React and EmberJS code to build out new functionality in the Messenger and Intercom App.

What skills do I need? 

• In process of completing a Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related fields at time of application.
• Proficiency in a high-level programming language (for example, Ruby,
• Python, Javascript etc.) If you don't know a language we use, that's okay! We think great people can learn quickly.
• Familiar with standard software engineering methodology, e.g. unit testing, object-oriented design, data structures, code reviews, design documentation.
• Knowledge of how modern web applications work as well as distributed systems.
• Able to effectively articulate technical challenges and solutions.
