Dublin, Ireland Intercom Full time

What's the opportunity?

Intercom’s Machine Learning team is responsible for defining new ML features, researching appropriate algorithms and technologies, and rapidly getting first prototypes in our customers’ hands.

We are an extremely product-focused team. We work in partnership with Product and Design functions of teams we support. Our team's dedicated ML backend engineers collaborate with scientists to deeply understand research context, enabling us to move to production fast, often shipping to beta in weeks after a successful offline test.

We are very passionate about applying machine learning technology and have productized everything from classic supervised models to cutting-edge unsupervised clustering algorithms and novel applications of transformer neural networks. We test and measure the real customer impact of each model we deploy.

If you excel in scaling backend systems but have a bit less hands-on experience with ML systems (which you happily make up for with your keen interest), we'd love to hear from you

What will I be doing?

- Taking algorithms which work offline and putting them in a production setting

- Deeply understand and modify as needed

- Solve hard scalability and optimization problems
- Improve our dev tooling
- Run production ML infrastructure and evolve it over time
- Build new data infrastructure to enable exploration
- Establish processes for large scale data analyses, model development, validation, and implementation
- Work with teammates to measure and iterate on algorithm performance
- Partner deeply with the rest of the team and others to build excellent ML products

What skills might I need?

These are meant to be indicative, not hard requirements.

- Excellent pragmatic engineering skills

- Familiar with tools used to write, test, deploy, debug, and monitor software
- Comfort owning features from inception to outcome

- 5+ years experience in a production environment, with contributions to the design and architecture of distributed systems
- Strong communication skills, both within engineering teams and across disciplines
- Excellent programming skills
- Comfort with ambiguity
- BSc in Computer Science or similar knowledge

Bonus skills & attributes

- ML Ops experience
- GPU, Pytorch, OS internals
- Deep knowledge of AWS services
- Track record shipping ML products
- Large scale ETL
