Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Senior Engineer, Infrastructure Platform - **Company:** Intercom, Inc. - **Location:** London, UK (Remote available) - **Experience:** Expert - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Amazon Web Services, Cloud Computing, Code Review, Distributed Systems, Software Engineering, Software Security, Programming Languages - **Published:** June 6, 2026 - **Apply:** https://uk.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=574cf8f5ee33acb2 ## About the Role Do you have experience in IT?, * Cloud infrastructure expertise: Multiple years designing, building, and operating high-scale distributed systems and platforms in a cloud environment (ideally AWS), with accountability for availability, performance, and costs. * Engineering rigor: Deep knowledge of modern programming languages with infrastructure-as-code as a nice to have. You have a track record of treating infrastructure as a software engineering discipline. * Operational obsession: Expert grasp of reliability, performance, and failure modes. You define metrics, question outliers, and rely on telemetry to guide your decisions. You treat uptime as a feature and take immense pride in the resilience of your systems. * Developer empathy: You obsess over making things "just work" for your internal customers. You understand the pain points of product developers and know how to eliminate their friction. * Execution and ownership: A proven track record of independently driving complex, cross-team technical initiatives from conception to production, often spanning multiple quarters. * Clear, timely communication: You write crisp technical docs, run blameless incident reviews, present trade-offs clearly to technical and non-technical partners, and thrive in an asynchronous, fast moving, and highly collaborative environment. * AI-first by default: You reach for AI to accelerate your work and have a track record of doing so, automating investigation, code, and operational tasks with coding agents, and building tooling that scales that leverage to others. You exercise judgment about where AI helps and where it doesn't, and you hold a high bar for the correctness and safety of what it produces. ## Description We are hiring a Senior Engineer for the Infra-Platform team, part of our broader Infraservices Group. Our team's mission is simple but powerful: prevention is better than cure. We provide the tooling and platforms that make reliability, observability, secure deployment, and velocity the default path for every engineer. We make it incredibly easy to do the right thing, and appropriately hard to do the wrong thing. AI is how we live that mission. We don't just build the platform for the AI Customer Agent company, we build with AI. Our engineers use coding agents and self-authored agent skills to automate toil, investigate incidents, and ship faster, and a big part of this role is extending that leverage to the rest of R&D. We expect every engineer here to treat AI as a core part of their toolkit, not an afterthought. You will be joining a high-performing, high-autonomy team of deeply tenured engineers (our median tenure is five years!) who hold a high bar for execution and collaborative problem-solving. As a Senior Engineer, you will be a critical force-multiplier for the entire R&D organization. You won't just keep the lights on; you will drive generational changes in our architecture, automate away toil, and eradicate manual work so our product teams can focus entirely on delivering customer value. Learn how we ship 250 versions of Fin per day, discover our engineering culture at Fin.engineering, and explore our engineering values. What you'll do? * Automate everything: Eradicate manual, repetitive, and unscalable work. You will view infrastructure challenges as software problems, building automation and tooling that accelerates R&D. * Drive architectural evolution: Plan, design, and execute generational changes to Fin's core infrastructure. You will navigate complex scaling challenges and build elasticity into our systems. * Deliver operational excellence: Own the reliability of our core services. You will respond to operational events, dig deep to understand why they happened, and engineer permanent, preventative solutions. * Be full stack: When there is an issue, you don't stop at the infrastructure layer. You dive deep into our application code to trace problems out to the edge and fix customer-facing issues. * Force-multiply through enablement: Abstract away shared concerns like security, compute, availability, and costs, so product engineers don't have to think about them. You'll scale your expertise through exceptional, easy-to-use agent skills, documentation, and reliable defaults. * Raise the bar: Hold yourself and your teammates accountable with deep empathy. Share your domain expertise, review code quickly, unblock your peers, and foster a culture of continuous learning and support. * Ship production-grade systems: Independently lead complex initiatives, owning the design, implementation, testing, and operational runbooks for high-impact infrastructure projects. * Build AI-native leverage: Treat AI as a primary tool for getting work done, using coding agents to automate infrastructure work, and building agent skills, tooling, and reliable defaults that let every engineer at Fin apply that same leverage safely. You'll look for the toil that AI should eliminate before a human ever touches it. ## About Intercom [Company profile](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/companies/4167-intercom) ### More Jobs at Intercom - [Senior Forward Deployed Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/jobs/ext/1915768-senior-forward-deployed-engineer) - [Senior Web Designer, Growth](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/jobs/ext/102722-senior-web-designer-growth) - [Partner Solutions Engineer (NAMER & LATAM)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/jobs/ext/230406-partner-solutions-engineer-namer-latam) - [Partner Solutions Engineer (NAMER & LATAM)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/jobs/ext/247897-partner-solutions-engineer-namer-latam) - [IT Systems Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/jobs/ext/25712-it-systems-engineer) ## Related Videos - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Are Code Reviews Worth It?
