‍

What's the opportunity?

At Intercom, you will be a full stack engineering intern - someone who solves real customer problems through asmart 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 engineering intern 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

‍

What skills do I need?

• 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
• Understanding of Distributed systems

Benefits

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
• We serve lunch every weekday, plus a variety of snack foods and a fully stocked kitchen
• Flexible paid time off policy
• MacBooks are our standard, but we also offer Windows for certain roles when needed.
