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 a 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.

We are the Compute team, responsible for providing Twitter Engineering with a scalable, reliable and performant compute platform. Our infrastructure powers most of the services behind Twitter.com, Twitter’s revenue-generating businesses, and a variety of internal infrastructure. Twitter’s 1,000+ engineers use our compute platform to launch and operate their services on a fleet of over 100,000 physical and virtual machines.

The Aurora Mesos team’s primary focus is scaling and operating the company's largest compute clusters, which are managed using Apache Aurora and Apache Mesos. This includes providing lower-level interoperation between Mesos and the datacenter stack together with the user-facing aspects of the Aurora/Mesos compute platform. Our systems drive availability and infrastructure efficiency for the Twitter platform. We need to expand Aurora and Mesos capabilities beyond the industry standards to meet the growing scale at Twitter. Our strategy is a key contributor to the company objectives for infrastructure efficiency, velocity and scaling.
