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:

Twitter’s globally distributed, real-time communications network generates trillions of events and petabytes of data per day. To handle this scale, as engineers on our Messaging Team, we build world class distributed pubsub systems and related infrastructure.

What You’ll Do:

• We provide infrastructure that enables systems to stream data between one another. Messaging technologies such as Kafka and Deferred RPC on Kafka (KRPC) and are used to decouple systems to improve reliability and simplify software development.

• Our vision is to provide messaging technologies which are self serve, reliable, cost effective, feature rich, and easy to use and operate, so that we can enable fast product development for our customers.  

• Operating our own systems at hyper growth levels is a rewarding challenge, it is what helps make us great. We are a tight knit and passionate group that loves working together, and we are looking for exceptional additions to our flock. You will empower dozens of engineering teams, hundreds of co-workers, and millions of users to dream of new insights and new possibilities.
