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.

Our mission is to increase the velocity of Twitter engineers by creating customised solutions adapted to how they work best in developing code faster and with less effort. We are leveraging solutions such as IntellIiJ IDEA and VSCode, and are continuing to look into diversifying our offer via Language Server Protocols, Build Server Protocols and remote workflows. 

If you are strongly interested in improving developer productivity, the edit/build/test workflow and proficient with algorithms and data structures as well as one or more of Java, Scala, and Python, check us out.
