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:

The Compute Infrastructure serves Twitter engineering by providing a reliable, efficient and consistent platform that expands public cloud providers and on-premises.

Our infrastructure powers most of the services bending Twitter.com, Twitter’s revenue-generating business and a variety of internal infrastructure. Twitter’s 1,000+ engineers use our infrastructure to launch and operate their services on a fleet of over 100,000 physical machines in our data centers and a rapidly growing footprint in the public cloud.

Compute has begun re-platforming from Aurora/Mesos to Kubernetes as a key component of a broader strategy to increase developer velocity and align us to the open source community.  Kuberenetes enables us to provide a consistent platform across hybrid cloud and on-premise thereby reducing operational friction of running service anywhere.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the Kubernetes on AWS Infrastructure Team 

• Own the strategy of allowing microservices behind Twitter.com to operate reliability in AWS in addition to on premises. 

• Build strong relationships with internal teams and AWS to gather requirements and drive towards the goal of making AWS infrastructure production ready. 

• Develop a team through mentorship and knowledge sharing.
