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.

Twitter’s Log Ingestion and Data Replication team provides the platform for distributing data to consumers across infrastructure. We develop and operate the log ingestion pipeline, processing 2-3 billion messages per minute. The team develops and operates the tooling used to consolidate, pre-process and deliver aggregated log events to streaming and batch sinks across on-premise and cloud environments.

In addition, the team is responsible for the services that manage the dataset lifecycle, including replication, retention, and scrubbing.

Data availability is key to the success of our Data Platform strategy to adopt cloud data processing capabilities. This team is central in the transformation of how data is ingested and delivered to the cloud. We closely collaborate with our customers, partners, and cloud vendors to improve the technology stack to deliver and manage data in a supportable, reliable and secure way.
