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. At Twitter, you can have a truly global impact.

Who We Are

Our mission is to enable rapid product iteration at the Twitter scale through powerful generic building blocks, flexible abstractions, and self-service tooling!

The Core Services teams provide interfaces, frameworks, and tools that make it easy to build on top of Twitter data and core Twitter objects (such as Tweets and Users) while minimizing operational concerns and ensuring user privacy. Our application infrastructure is critical to the product and must be highly reliable and scale to millions of requests per second.

Working together on building and operating our own high-scale systems is a rare and exciting challenge! We are a tightly-knit and supportive group that loves working together, and we are looking for outstanding additions to our flock.
