WHO WE ARE

Help Scout builds software for relationship businesses — companies that earn loyalty through outstanding customer service. We’ve been on this journey since 2011, and today more than 10,000 companies use our platform to support customers of all types, from clients to patients and beyond.

Now we’re in a new chapter: not only building AI that gives teams more space to focus on the customer experience, but also reimagining how we operate in an AI-native world. That means shipping and learning faster, without compromising on craft. Great work here carries a strong opinion and sweats the details, regardless of the tools we use to drive it.

We’ve been a fully remote team https://articles.helpscout.com/blog/remote-culture/ since day one, with 120+ teammates now all over the world. It’s a culture where you’ll be trusted to take ownership, stay curious, and raise the quality of work around you. It comes with clear expectations and a team that will push you to do some of the best work of your career.

If that kind of challenge gives you energy, we’d love to meet you.

YOUR IMPACT

Help Scout has earned something most software companies never get: genuine trust. 10,000+ businesses use us because we've always believed that customer relationships are the business — and that every interaction, no matter who or what handles it, should feel like it came from someone who cares. That trust took a decade to build. Now it's the foundation for something bigger.

Every conversation that flows through Help Scout carries a signal: what a customer needed, how they felt, whether they got it resolved, whether they'll come back. Across 10,000 businesses and millions of conversations, those signals add up to something extraordinary — a real-time view of customer health that most companies are desperate for and very few have. Right now, we do almost nothing with it proactively. That's the opportunity.

The Intelligence pillar is how Help Scout transforms from a tool that manages support into a platform that improves a business. Topics. Sentiment. CX Score. Churn risk alerts before a customer walks. This is how support stops being a cost center and starts being a competitive advantage — for our customers, and for us. You'll build the product that makes that case, and closes it.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Intelligence pillar owns the product layer that turns conversations into insight: Topics (what customers are asking, in aggregate), Sentiment (how they feel, over time), CX Score (a composite health signal per contact and company), and the contact and company profiles that surface all of it. It's a net-new product area for Help Scout — early in adoption, high in strategic weight, and directly tied to our Understand revenue tier.
