About the Technical Lead, Customer Engagement Platform role..
We are looking for a strong hands-on Technical Lead to own and evolve our customer engagement platforms across current and future-state systems.

This is a deep technical role for someone who can design, build, integrate, and optimise customer support and engagement platforms in a fast-changing environment. Today, the role will work across platforms such as Intercom and Salesforce Service Cloud. Over time, the role will also help evaluate, implement, and scale future-state solutions such as DevRev, Amazon Connect, Zendesk, Genesys, and other customer engagement technologies.

The right person for this role is not defined by one tool. They are a strong developer first, with the technical depth and adaptability to work across platforms, build AI-enabled use cases, and lead delivery from architecture through to production support.
