Software Developer/ Engineer/ Architect

Senior Software Engineer - Messenger

What will I be doing? 🚀

Contribute to our technical architecture as we grow. We scale to service requests from all our customers’ customers. We’re growing and so are they.

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

Write Ruby code, which knits together a lot of AWS, infrastructure, platform and SaaS technologies that form the core of Intercom’s backend infrastructure; also Javascript in the frontend side (React.js).

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? 📖

6+ years of industry experience in a senior 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, ideally Ruby on Rails. It doesn’t need to be a language that we use here, we are language agnostic when hiring! Great people are effective and learn what we use quickly (or introduce us to better ways of working). 

Frontend experience with Javascript (React)

Knowledge of Web/Mobile is a plus

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

Passion for engineering excellence, clean coding and SOLID principles.
