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.

Who We Are

We are the Compute Platform team, responsible for providing Twitter Engineering with an approachable, productive, and reliable Compute Platform. Our infrastructure powers most of the services behind Twitter.com, Twitter’s revenue-generating businesses, and a variety of internal infrastructure. Twitter’s 1,000+ engineers use our Compute Platform to launch and operate their services on a fleet of over 100,000 physical and virtual machines.

The Compute for Data and Machine Learning (ML) team provides Compute services to Data and ML service providers at Twitter. This includes a Kubernetes-based operating environment that spans Twitter datacenters and the public cloud along with a supporting set of systems that provide Data and ML practitioners the Compute capabilities that they need and when/where they need it.

As manager of the Compute for Data and ML team, you’ll:

• Kickstart a new team that supports and empowers the Data and ML spaces within Twitter.

• Partner with internal Data and ML service providers to offer new and improved capabilities to practitioners.

• Collaborate with other Compute and Platform teams as we work together to collectively serve the needs of thousands of internal customers.

• Build and foster open, collaborative relationships with peer companies and the Kubernetes OSS community. 

• Support and encourage the sharing of our work through blog posts, meetups, and papers.
