About the Company

You leave a trail behind you every day - and it says more about what you will do next than anything you have told a company directly. Your phone registers when you fall asleep and when you wake. Your mobile network notices your commute. Your browser remembers that you wandered onto a competitor's site last Tuesday - and the Tuesday before that. You move through the world, and the world quietly takes notes.

Most companies lose the detail. A large mobile network generates hundreds of billions of events every single day - too expensive to keep in raw form. So your rich, specific, wonderfully complicated life gets compressed into an average. You become “males 25–34 in the southeast who browsed upgrades.” A bucket. A segment. And then that bucket gets blasted with messages - because when you cannot tell what someone actually wants, the only strategy left is frequency. Send more, send often, hope something lands.

We built something different. Intent runs two types of intelligence in parallel. Our cloud engine reads billions of events a day - weblogs, payments, app signals, CRM records - and finds behavioral sequences: chains of small actions that unfold in a recognizable order before someone switches, upgrades, or leaves. Our on-device Edge AI sits directly on the phone, reading 16,000 signals and distilling them into 750 insights about your current state - without any of that information ever leaving the device.

We manage over 300 million customer profiles. We underpin $115 billion in customer value. We hold 49 patents in behavioral AI, privacy architecture, and on-device intelligence. We were named AI Business of the Year 2025. And Verizon - with large data science teams of its own - has been our customer for seven years, because what we have built over a decade of patents, learning, and rigorous product development cannot be easily replicated.

Why Join Intent

• Work that matters at genuine scale. Our clients have tens of millions of customers and billions of interaction events each day. You will not be optimizing a landing page - you will be shaping how the world's largest enterprises understand and serve their customers.
• Category-defining technology. 49 patents. An AI that reads 16,000 behavioral signals directly on your phone - data never leaves. A cloud engine that digests 250 billion events a day and delivers fresh intelligence in under 120 seconds. Privacy twins that make re-identification mathematically infeasible.
• Global reach, real momentum. Verizon, MTN Group, ABG Capital - across telecoms, financial services, retail, and social media. Expanding rapidly into Latin America, Africa, APAC, India, and the Middle East. AI Business of the Year 2025.
• A place to grow - fast. We are at an inflexion point: approaching profitability, launching a flagship agentic platform, and scaling commercially across seven regions. The people who join now will shape the next chapter.
• Hybrid and flexible. London-based roles work from the office three days a week, with the rest remote. Team members across Barcelona, Lisbon, New York, South Africa, Nigeria, Brazil, India, and Tel Aviv - a genuinely international team solving genuinely global problems.

Our Values - In Practice

Human-first. No one is average. We start with individual reality, motivation, and context - not statistical convenience or abstract users.

Principled. Privacy is a human right - a design principle, not a legal afterthought. Trust is foundational, not optional.

Ambitious. We anticipate the edge - looking ahead early and building what others assume cannot yet be built.

Inclusive. Intentionally relevant. Every interaction should earn its place - serving simply, with clarity in product, communication, and action.

In service. We serve simply - to our customers, to each other, and to the work itself. No unnecessary complexity, no ego in the way.
