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.

Twitter serves the public conversation by encouraging people all over the world to connect, learn, debate, and solve problems together. Joining the team today means you’ll make the conversations of tomorrow possible. It’s not always easy, but nothing worth doing ever is.

The Users Team owns the core application infrastructure for users which form the core building blocks of the Twitter product. We accelerate product engineering teams largely by handling scaling, persistence, reporting, and compliance concerns in the areas of user data, lists, relationships and their associated lifecycle management. Our application infrastructure is critical to the product and has to be incredibly reliable and scale to millions of requests per second.

We support most product development at Twitter, constantly looking out for patterns to generalize, so we can then offer new platform and infrastructure primitives that support reliable and resilient new product features. These primitives manifest as high scale internal APIs and infrastructure that form much of the core product infrastructure for Twitter. We are reinventing critical parts of that stack, and you can be a part of it.
