Who We Are: 

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 feel 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:

The Migration Acceleration Team works with engineering teams at Twitter to help speed up technology migrations. We do this through a variety of practices, including automation, training, measurement, and outsourcing. Our customers work with a whole range of technologies, systems, and data, and span the gamut of Twitter’s engineering efforts. We are a cross-functional team consisting of engineers, data scientists, product managers and program managers.

We are part of the Engineering Effectiveness organization, which provides the tools and services all engineers at Twitter need to iterate faster, ship high-quality products, and enjoy doing it!

What We Own:

• Customer Engagement Process for Migrations. From scoping, prototyping, and measuring the impact of migrations, we help migration drivers deliver a standardized, supported, and predictable experience
• Migration automation tooling for situations where we can deliver a transparent transformation
• Relationship with outsourcing vendors who help with the day-to-day hands-on migration work that is outside of the scope for customer teams.
• System instrumentation that helps to show migration progress and gaps.
