Intercom is the AI Customer Service company on a mission to help businesses provide incredible customer experiences.


Our AI agent Fin, the most advanced customer service AI agent on the market, lets businesses deliver always‑on, impeccable customer service and ultimately transform their customer experiences for the better. Fin can also be combined with our Helpdesk to become a complete solution called the Intercom Customer Service Suite, which provides AI enhanced support for the more complex or high touch queries that require a human agent.


Founded in 2011 and trusted by nearly 30,000 global businesses, Intercom is setting the new standard for customer service. Driven by our core values, we push boundaries, build with speed and intensity, and consistently deliver incredible value to our customers.


What's the opportunity?

The Research, Analytics & Data Science (RAD) team at Intercom use data and insights to advise our product teams and drive evidence‑based decision‑making. We're a team of data scientists and product researchers who use data — both big and small — to build customer empathy, drive product strategy and shape products that deliver real value to our customers. If you get really excited about asking the right questions, exploring patterns in data and taking ownership of outcomes (not just surfacing insights), then this team is for you.


For this role, we are looking for a Senior Data Scientist to work in our Web team, partnering with the product, design and engineering leads for our websites, intercom.com and fin.ai , to figure out where we can improve visitor journeys and increase lead volumes.


What will I be doing?

  • You’ll build relationships with and influence web leads from product, design and engineering to shape the strategy and roadmaps for our websites.
  • You’ll measure outcomes and develop success metrics to understand the impact of changes, through analysis and experimentation and collaborate with our RevOps teams to understand how our website contributes to Intercom’s commercial performance.
  • You’ll drive projects to improve the tools and infrastructure that data scientists use to do their work.
  • You’ll be a role model for more junior data scientists on the team.

What skills do I need?

  • Track record working with and influencing the roadmaps of web teams
  • Significant experience of using AB testing to optimise website performance
  • Strong familiarity with Google Analytics
  • Excellent communication skills (technical and non‑technical) and a focus on driving impact
  • Desire to mentor other data scientists and share best practices to elevate the use of data science at Intercom
  • Growth mindset and sense of ownership
  • Experience working on a B2B SaaS product
  • Experience with a scientific computing language (R or Python)
  • Experience partnering with Qualitative Research teams

We are a well treated bunch, with awesome benefits! If there’s something important to you that’s not on this list, talk to us!


Benefits

  • 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
  • Pension scheme & match up to 4%
  • Peace of mind with life assurance, as well as comprehensive health and dental insurance for you and your dependents
  • Flexible paid time off policy
  • Paid maternity leave, as well as 6 weeks paternity leave for fathers, to let you spend valuable time with your loved ones
  • If you’re cycling, we’ve got you covered on the Cycle‑to‑Work Scheme. With secure bike storage too

Intercom has a hybrid working policy. We believe that working in person helps us stay connected, collaborate easier and create a great culture while still providing flexibility to work from home. We expect employees to be in the office at least three days per week.


We have a radically open and accepting culture at Intercom. We avoid spending time on divisive subjects to foster a safe and cohesive work environment for everyone. As an organization, our policy is to not advocate on behalf of the company or our employees on any social or political topics out of our internal or external communications. We respect personal opinion and expression on these topics on personal social platforms on personal time, and do not challenge or confront anyone for their views on non‑work related topics. Our goal is to focus on doing incredible work to achieve our goals and unite the company through our core values.

How Many Data Science Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Data Science Job?

If you’re trying to break into data science — or progress your career — it can feel like you are drowning in names: Python, R, TensorFlow, PyTorch, SQL, Spark, AWS, Scikit-learn, Jupyter, Tableau, Power BI…the list just keeps going. With every job advert listing a different combination of tools, many applicants fall into a trap: they try to learn everything. The result? Long tool lists that sound impressive — but little depth to back them up. Here’s the straight-talk version most hiring managers won’t explicitly tell you: 👉 You don’t need to know every data science tool to get hired. 👉 You need to know the right ones — deeply — and know how to use them to solve real problems. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many data science tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is not “27” — it’s more like 8–12, thoughtfully chosen and well understood. This guide explains what employers really value, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your toolbox so your CV and interviews shine.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Data Science Job Applications (UK Guide)

If you’re applying for data science roles in the UK, it’s crucial to understand what hiring managers focus on before they dive into your full CV. In competitive markets, recruiters and hiring managers often make their first decisions in the first 10–20 seconds of scanning an application — and in data science, there are specific signals they look for first. Data science isn’t just about coding or statistics — it’s about producing insights, shipping models, collaborating with teams, and solving real business problems. This guide helps you understand exactly what hiring managers look for first in data science applications — and how to structure your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you leap to the top of the shortlist.

The Skills Gap in Data Science Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Data science has become one of the most visible and sought-after careers in the UK technology market. From financial services and retail to healthcare, media, government and sport, organisations increasingly rely on data scientists to extract insight, guide decisions and build predictive models. Universities have responded quickly. Degrees in data science, analytics and artificial intelligence have expanded rapidly, and many computer science courses now include data-focused pathways. And yet, despite the volume of graduates entering the market, employers across the UK consistently report the same problem: Many data science candidates are not job-ready. Vacancies remain open. Hiring processes drag on. Candidates with impressive academic backgrounds fail interviews or struggle once hired. The issue is not intelligence or effort. It is a persistent skills gap between university education and real-world data science roles. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they often miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in data science.
