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.

Who we are

We are Twitter’s Engineering Effectiveness organization, and we help Twitter engineers develop world-class software by implementing IDEs for complex, polyglot source code, building tools, and developing source control systems and continuous integration infrastructure.

Our team of engineers is responsible for building a knowledge graph for platform intelligence, to help customers both large and small, like Security & Privacy, Service Reliability, and Optimization teams. The platform knowledge graph will ingest from many different data sources at Twitter and present a unified view of resources and their relationships in the Twitter stack allowing teams to gain valuable insights into how our systems work together.

What you’ll do

We’re looking for an engineer who has worked with graphs in the past and realizes the potential that graphs have over classic SQL and key-value stores. An engineer who understands the value of creating self-onboarding architectures that don’t require manual intervention to function with the goal of customer teams being able to onboard with only hours of work. 

Candidates with experience in one or more of these areas should find themselves at home:

• Experience designing and developing data products supported by graph databases and RTL data pipelines. 

• Great communicator with good product sense - ability to identify both the long and short term needs of the knowledge graph and convey them to product and engineering leadership

• Intellectually curious - function as a pioneer for new ideas in the overall graph ecosystem

• Bachelors or higher in Computer Science or a related field or equivalent experience.

• Strong Computer Science fundamentals, algorithms, and data structures background

• Enjoy interacting with and helping customers

• Strong, quality-oriented engineer who will continually drive our engineering standards (code reuse, documentation, testing, etc.) and levels of service forward

• Familiarity with the following technologies a plus: Neo4j, Cypher, Airflow, Python, Scala, Thrift

• Know how to work in a diverse environment in a respectful and kind manner.

• Bachelors or higher in Computer Science or a related field or equivalent experience.

• Strong Computer Science fundamentals, algorithms, and data structures background

• Enjoy interacting with and helping customers

• Willing to embrace and enrich Twitter’s culture of empathy, teamwork and passion. #GrowTogether

• Have a strong desire for learning and growth.

• Passionate about improving developer productivity

• Know how to work in a diverse environment in a respectful and kind manner.
