This is an opportunity to lead an existing group to deliver a huge amount of impact for our customers and raise the bar for high performance in how we work.

You will have the opportunity to lead the definition and execution of key strategic initiatives across R&D and Intercom more broadly.

What skills do I need? 📖

• You have a wealth of technical knowledge and expertise, and you have likely built top engineering teams to ship a world-class product

• You’re a lateral thinker, you don’t put your own interests ahead of the greater good, and you’ve applied this thinking across previous teams

Bonus skills & attributes 🤓

• You’re opinionated about the work that you do, and you stand up for something you believe in; you’re not agreeable just for the sake of it
