Who We Are:

Our team builds and improves the interactive environment Twitter engineers use to develop software. We research, develop, operate and support core components of the development environment. We partner with teams that own specific development tools, and help curate the overall interactive development experience. We are part of the Engineering Effectiveness organization, which provides the tools and services all engineers at Twitter need to iterate faster, ship high-quality products, and enjoy doing it!

What We Own:

• We own the development tools distribution and configuration management for Twitter’s software engineering workstations! This is relied on by all engineers to access hundreds of internal tools published by hundreds of engineers. This system is written primarily in Python, integrated with Ansible, shell scripts, and an Objective-C Mac desktop client.
• Vetting new major releases of macOS and Mac hardware, in collaboration with IT and other development tools teams.
• Technical documentation tools used to read, write and update rich docs checked in along with our code. Includes the main site used exclusively to serve internal technical documentation. Based on Sphinx, utilizing MySQL and Python 3.
• Twitter’s intranet search engine, which provides access to documents from many different internal sites. Implemented in Scala and Python, with an ElasticSearch backend.
• Information access utilities used many times a day by all Tweeps. Implemented in Scala.
