Twitter can only carry out our mission to serve the public conversation when we uphold the high bar of privacy that our users expect. We provide a platform that has privacy by design. We support a portfolio of tools for teams across the company to ensure the services they build comply with Privacy and Data Protection regulations. This includes both indirectly supporting external features and directly supporting internal customer needs. 

Our customers are PM’s, engineers, and data scientists at Twitter, whether they are building or supporting clients, backend services, libraries, data pipelines, machine learning models, and so on.

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