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:

The Graph Platform team’s mission is to empower customer teams to rapidly build scalable and reliable Graph-based products & applications at Twitter with minimal cost. We own the core application infrastructure for graph relationships (e.g. follow, block, mute, list subscription, etc) 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 relationships, lists, and their associated lifecycle management. Our application infrastructure is critical to the product and has to be exceptionally reliable and scalable to millions of requests per second.

What You’ll Do:

You will join forces with teammates to build a new platform that enables other engineering teams across the company to build and operate large-scale graph-based infrastructure and product features rapidly and easily. We own some of the world’s largest distributed systems that power a platform relied upon by many people across the world. You will be building a platform that has a global impact!
