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.

What You’ll Do:

If this sounds like a team you want to be a part of, fantastic! We are looking for experienced engineers who love writing code, data engineering, understanding our customers, and collaborating with teammates to ship useful software. 

Sample projects we’ve built:

• Real-time aggregations of interactions on tweets at millions of events per second scale

• Generic frameworks and services to automate detection and removal of user deleted data from analytic data.

Who You Are:

You take satisfaction in building resilient, performant, and thoroughly tested systems that can power the most business-critical applications. You get stuff done and thrive in a small group environment. You have a strong sense of ownership and a curiosity to understand how things work, even if they take you outside your area of expertise. You welcome feedback and are constantly looking for ways to improve yourself.

On our team we need people who:

• Have 5+ years professional experience

• Have backend development experience with a solid foundation in distributed systems and large-scale data processing

• Have proficiency with Scala, Java, C/C++, or Python

• Show deep understanding in at least one data processing framework including Hadoop, Spark, Flink, Kafka / KafkaStreams, Druid, or Dataflow.

• Enjoy working with our internal customers and having empathy for their problems.

• Embrace a growth mindset and want to improve ourselves, the team, our processes, and the products we work on. 

Additionally it would be nice if you had:

• Success in developing in a hybrid-cloud environment

• Working knowledge of ETL and a query language

• Experience with data privacy concerns and solutions

• Experience with oncall responsibilities

All your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines.
