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 feel 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:

You will work on multi-functional efforts aimed at making it simple to trust, ship, and grow Open Source at Twitter.

• You'll help ensure we consume and release open source software via a sophisticated process and standard methodologies that build balanced communities, empower engineers, align with our business goals, protect our intellectual property, and manage our compliance.
• You'll work with engineering teams on their open source initiatives, supporting and advising them on industry best practices.
• You'll help manage the overall health of Twitter's open source projects, developing programs to monitor and respond to issues when they arise.
• You'll help own the day-to-day operations of the open source office including sponsoring open source organizations and events, review new open source launches, triage requests, and help teams as needed.
• You'll directly impact the culture of open source at Twitter.

• Experience with one or more popular programming languages such as Python, JavaScript, Java, Go, Ruby etc

One of the biggest challenges in open source is long-term sustainability. As a result, we are not just looking for quick fixes to the challenges that face Twitter; we're in it for the long haul. So that means building a diverse team that will bring different perspectives and ideas. It means having a healthy team that works hard, but that can also take time to recharge and enjoy life away from work. It means a team that is respectful of each other, of the work we are doing, and of the importance of enabling the public conversation. That's the team we're trying to build. Let us know if you want to join us.
