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 conversation. Here, your voice matters. Come as you are and together we'll do what's right (not what's easy) to serve the public conversation.

As a Senior Backend Engineer on the Platform Experience team, you will build tools used across Twitter engineering to build systems at scale. You will build an internal hybrid cloud and on-premise management experience paralleling those of cloud offerings such as AWS and GCP. Your work will make it drastically easier to be a developer at Twitter, enabling Twitter to deliver for our users at increased pace.

Our platform serves thousands of internal customers running the thousands of services that make up our product. You’ll partner directly with internal customers on many kinds of projects and technologies that keep Twitter performing reliably.
