We're looking for Senior+ AI Infrastructure Engineers to build the systems that train and serve Intercom's next generation of AI products.

Intercom is an AI company that builds from the GPU all the way up to a user agent that resolves millions of customer service queries a month.

You'll join a small, highly technical team working at the cutting edge of modern AI infrastructure. The AI Infra team built the training pipelines and runs the inference for custom models like Fin Apex, which outperforms frontier models in customer service tasks, and is the foundation of the AI Group's full stack approach to AI.

As a Senior AI Infrastructure Engineer focused on model training and inference, you will:

Implement and scale training pipelines for large transformer and LLM models, from data ingestion and preprocessing through distributed training and evaluation.

Build and optimize inference services that deliver low-latency, high-reliability experiences for our customers, including autoscaling, routing, and fallbacks.

Work on GPU-level performance: tuning kernels, improving utilization, and identifying bottlenecks across our training and inference stack.

Collaborate closely with ML scientists to implement cutting edge training and inference methods and bring them to production.

Play an active role in hiring, mentoring, and developing other engineers on the team.

Raise the bar for technical standards, reliability, and operational excellence across Intercom’s AI platform.

We’re looking to hire Senior+ AI Infrastructure Engineers. You’re likely a great fit if:

You have 5+ years of experience in software engineering, with a strong track record of shipping high-quality products or platforms.

You hold a degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field (or you have equivalent experience with very strong fundamentals).

You have hands-on experience with one or more of the following:

Model training (especially transformers and LLMs).

Model inference at scale (again, especially transformers and LLMs).

Low-level GPU work, such as writing CUDA or Triton kernels.

Comfortable working in production environments at meaningful scale (traffic, data, or organizational).

You communicate clearly, can explain complex technical topics to different audiences, and enjoy close collaboration with both engineers and non-engineers.

You take pride in strong technical fundamentals, love learning, and are willing to invest in your own development.

Have deep knowledge of at least one programming language (for example Python, Ruby, Java, Go, etc.). Specific language experience is less important than your ability to write clean, reliable code and learn new stacks quickly.

Optional skills and attributes include experience at AI native companies, running training or inference workloads on Kubernetes, experience with AWS or other major cloud providers, production experience with Python in ML or infrastructure contexts, and demonstrated passion for technology through personal projects, open source, meetups, or publishing content about your work and learnings.

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!
