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.

Location flexible, candidates considered in Seattle, San Francisco or New York. Fully-Remote is also acceptable. 

Who We Are 

The TPM team at Twitter leads cross-functional delivery of strategic technical initiatives across the company. TPM at Twitter is a centralized team, staffing a diverse bench of industry leaders working across all orgs in the company. 

The Twitter Data Science organization is a group of scientists and engineers working together to ensure that every decision at Twitter is informed by accurate data and rigorous empirical analysis. We work backwards from a deep understanding of business problems and objectives to drive business impact through the application of data science. We are responsible for ensuring that we have comprehensive and validated data, defining clear and consistent metrics, and matching appropriate statistical/empirical rigor to the magnitude of the business decision informed. The technical approach that we use to deliver results is less important than the impact we have on the business; building a complex production ML model is no more valuable than designing a metric if the business impact is the same. We believe in the power of bringing diverse perspectives together.
