Job Description

We own the core application infrastructure for graph relationships (e.g. follow, block, mute, list subscription, etc) which form the core building blocks of the Twitter product. We accelerate product engineering teams largely by handling scaling, persistence, reporting, and compliance concerns in the areas of relationships, lists, and their associated lifecycle management.
