Twitter is what’s happening in the world and what people are talking about right now. From breaking news and entertainment to sports, politics, and everyday interests, see every side of the story. Join the open conversation, and collaborate with creative and curious people across the globe.

Our mission is to enable rapid product iteration at Twitter scale. We do this through the creation of powerful building blocks, flexible abstractions, and self-service tooling!

The Product Foundation teams provide interfaces and tools that make it easy to build on top of Twitter data and core Twitter objects (such as Tweets and Users) while minimizing operational concerns and ensuring user privacy. Our application infrastructure is critical to the product and must be highly reliable and scale to millions of requests per second.

Working together on building and operating our own high-scale systems is a rare and exciting challenge! We are a tightly-knit and supportive group that loves working together, and we are looking for outstanding additions to our flock.
