Our AI Agent Fin is the highest-performing AI Customer Agent on the market today, enabling businesses to deliver impeccable, always-on customer support across the customer journey – from service, to sales, to ecommerce. Powered by our own AI models, Fin resolves complex customer issues end-to-end across every channel, with minimal set-up and integration. Fin can also be combined with our natively integrated Intercom help desk for one single system that is designed to meet the needs of modern day support teams.

Founded in 2011, Fin became one of the fastest growing companies and remains one of the largest private software companies in the world with nearly 30,000 global businesses using our products to transform their customer support. Driven by our core values, we push boundaries, build with speed and intensity, and relentlessly deliver incredible value to our customers.

Speed is something we fight for every day at Fin, and we believe Berlin is built for people who share that instinct. We are drawn to Berlin by its rare blend of deep technical talent and rich creative culture – all within a vibrant, globally connected city that’s close to our R&D hubs in Dublin and London. It’s a place where the best of the best technical talent thrive, and where people from around the world are eager to relocate and build ambitious products.

Our ambition is to hire 100 people in Berlin over the year ahead across engineering, AI, data science, product, and design. We believe this is the most exciting time to join, be the founding R&D talent in the region and make a lasting impact as we build the world's number one customer agent!

What's the opportunity?

We’re looking for Senior Product Engineers to join the AI Infrastructure team to help Fin build AI-powered products.

The wider AI group is responsible for defining new ML features, researching appropriate algorithms and technologies, and rapidly getting first prototypes in our customers’ hands.

AI infrastructure is building a platform to move extremely quickly, adapting to new AI advancements in a matter of days, but providing the safety shield to other engineers so our customers always get a good service. We often provide services at the core of AI systems, and write framework-level code that other engineers and scientists in the AI group use daily.

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 and change we deploy.

If you are an experienced backend engineer who takes an analytical approach to development and has some hands-on experience with ML systems and platforms, we'd love to hear from you!
