Customer Success Engineer

Intercom is a fundamentally new way for internet businesses to communicate with customers, personally, at scale. It's a customer communication platform with a suite of integrated products for every team—including sales, marketing, product, and support. Our products enable targeted communication with customers on your website, inside your web and mobile apps, and by email.

The Customer Success team are primarily responsible for onboarding, educating, and supporting our customers on a global level. They start work the moment a customer decides they want to use Intercom, and they stick with them every step of the way to ensure they get the most value from the product. Success Engineers are responsible for working directly with customers to help them integrate Intercom into their products, diagnose, report, and solve technical issues customers run into, and act as the bridge between our customers and our product design and development teams. As a Success Engineer you will: - Face debugging complex issues not only within our own codebase but also with the many technologies employed by our customers. You'll be working with and learning a myriad of tech, including but not limited to: Ruby, Ruby on Rails, Ember.js, MongoDB, MySQL, Redis, Pusher, nginx, Sinatra, Sidekiq, and lots more. You’ll also apply this technical knowledge building tools to help us do our jobs more effectively and efficiently. - Solve technical problems for customers on a daily basis. Our customer success engineers need to be quick learners and come up to speed quickly with everything to do with our product. You’ll be expected to distill complex issues into underlying causes and work directly with our product teams to deploy solutions while consistently delivering world-class support. - Influence the direction of Intercom, the product. You will be talking with lots of our customers on a daily basis. The team is responsible for ensuring that newly acquired customers have a great experience with the product. A crucial part of the role is ensuring we make the product as easy to use, reliable, bug-free, and fast as possible. You will be working directly with product teams to identify current issues and, synthesizing the diverse feedback you hear from our customers, offer informed opinions on potential solutions. Hustle, defined as the fight to make positive, regular progress and encourage that fight in others, is key to the success of this team and Intercom as a whole. We like big thinkers with small egos who believe in our goal to build a uniquely impactful, long-lasting tech company. Our vision is to fundamentally change forever how Internet businesses and their customers communicate.
