Who we are

Our company's purpose is to serve the public conversation.

This includes bare metal and containerized services for messaging, graph storage, database clusters, etc.

The Platform Product organization is a critical team that puts a business and product lens on all the work the platform organization does at Twitter, from data to analytics, storage to data centers, graph technologies to networking and data centers. With every product we ship to our internal customers, we provide an enabling environment to build and advance exciting experiences for our customers.

By working together, we build the most capable and cost-efficient platform in an innovative, experiment-rich, and fast-paced environment.
