Who We Are:

Data is fundamental to a lot of product development at Twitter whether it is to enable personalized ML products, or for monitoring and improving the reliability of our products, or to allow self-serve analytics & data-driven decisions from the tactical to the most strategic level. Twitter has a rich variety of data sources including text, media, graph etc which interact with each other in a complex manner. These data sources capture interests & conversations (in billions) from our users (in hundreds of millions) about real-world events, topics and entities (in tens of millions) on a daily basis.
