Senior Software Engineer – GTM Systems

Intercom Software Development
Hybrid Chicago, IL Posted 8 days ago $185,000 - $220,000 yearly

TL;DR

Intercom's GTM systems need a senior engineer who speaks Python, SQL, and Apex—someone to wire Salesforce, Snowflake, and a dozen other tools into one clean nervous system so sales and marketing stop fumbling in the dark.

You'll own the plumbing: data models, integrations, APIs, and the occasional AI agent that makes workflows hum instead of stall.

Day‑to‑day: translate vague business headaches into code, mentor peers, balance scrappy prototypes with solid architecture, and ship things that actually scale.

Who fits: senior‑level engineer with backend chops, data engineering smarts, and the patience to sit with stakeholders until the fuzzy becomes clear.

Why bother: high‑impact work at the heart of how GTM runs, real autonomy from day one, path to Staff level, and Chicago or San Francisco base at $185‑220k plus equity.
