Company Description

Twitter is what’s happening and what people are talking about right now. For us, life's not about a job, it's about purpose. We believe real change starts with a conversation.

Job Description

Who We Are

Twitter’s globally distributed, real-time communications network generates trillions of events and petabytes of data per day. The Realtime storage Group provides the storage layer that enables products and services at Twitter to be fast, highly scalable, and always available.

To handle this scale, we build world-class distributed storage solutions that help serve critical Twitter services with low latency across cloud and on-premise environments. We run thousands of database nodes that process hundreds of millions of requests per second!

  • Lead a team of engineers building and operating large scale distributed database systems, optimized for low latency vital for making Twitter real-time.
