Engineering Manager, AI Models Infrastructure

We’re hiring an Engineering Manager for our AI Platform Team in the AI Group . The AI Platform team builds and operates the foundational infrastructure that powers Intercom’s AI products, including model training, developer tooling and high-performance, high-reliability production systems. The team ensures that engineers and scientists can rapidly & safely build our flagship AI product Fin, while also ensuring it remains stable and performant in production.

This is a hands-on EM role - you’ll lead a senior team of engineers while remaining hands-on in the codebase. We believe that an EM who occasionally works alongside ICs writing code will build up the knowledge and context required to inform strategic decision making and better support engineers in their team. This isn’t a temporary “player-coach” setup; it’s a deeply technical leadership role where coding and architecture work are core to the job.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced engineering manager without prior AI experience to step directly into the world of AI systems. You’ll learn what it takes to run AI-powered production systems, and shape the platform that enables fast, safe, and reliable iteration on cutting-edge AI products.
