Job Description

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 focussed team. We work in partnership with Product and Design functions of teams we support. Our team's dedicated ML product engineers enable 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, to novel applications of transformer neural networks. We test and measure the real customer impact of each model we deploy.

Job Responsibility

  • Play an active role in hiring, mentoring and career development of other engineers

  • Identify areas where ML can create value for our customers
  • Identify the right ML framing of product problems - Working with teammates and Product and Design stakeholders
  • Conduct exploratory data analysis and research - Deeply understand the problem area
  • Research and identify the right algorithms and tools - Being pragmatic, but innovating right to the cutting-edge when needed
  • Perform offline evaluation to gather evidence an algorithm will work
  • Work with engineers to bring prototypes to production
  • Plan, measure & socialize learnings to inform iteration
  • Partner deeply with the rest of team, and others, to build excellent ML products

Requirements

  • 5-8 years applied ML experience

  • Typically have advanced education in ML or related field (e.g. MSc)
  • Scientific thinking skills

Nice to have

  • Track record shipping ML products
  • PhD or other experience in a research environment
  • Deep experience in an applicable ML area - E.g. NLP, Deep learning, Bayesian methods, Reinforcement learning, clustering
  • Strong stats or math background
  • Visualization, data skills, SQL, matplotlib, etc.

What we offer

  • Competitive salary and equity in a fast-growing start-up
  • We serve lunch every weekday, plus a variety of snack foods and a fully stocked kitchen
