Who We Are

The mission of Twitter's Acquisition team is to help grow our reach by helping users find and engage with Twitter across a variety of surfaces including search engines, embeds, shared artifacts, and more. We want to make Twitter’s content available across the internet, making it easy and compelling for users to join Twitter. Through your work, Twitter will grow to power experiences across the web and help all those who need to find and join the conversation. 

What You'll Do

We believe passion and personality matter. As such, we need someone who can lead diverse, smart, and driven engineers while balancing personnel challenges with business requirements. As an Engineering Manager, you will:

• Mentor the professional development of each direct report through personal and performance management.

• Be an ambitious source of engineering talent and be comfortable closing candidates

• Give engineers the tools, confidence, and motivation to make decisions independently that lead to the recognition of your engineers and not just yourself.

Our ultimate goal is to ‘ship it ’, so it’s imperative that the engineering manager:

• Own the group’s technical strategy and roadmap – creating success metrics in close collaboration with other Engineering and Product Managers.

• Brings a strong perspective that inspires change and motivates engineers to develop simple solutions to sophisticated problems.

• Works with tech leads and senior engineers to capture requirements, gut checks new feature proposals and large improvements.

• Has the technical capacity to partner with tech leads and is comfortable diving into the fray to help drive resolution in the case of bad incidents.

Who You Are

A successful engineering manager will communicate fearlessly to build trust. We need leaders who take active roles in shaping the future of Twitter engineering while embodying our core values.

This means a manager will:

• Foster strong cross-functional collaboration with Engineering, Product, Design, Research, and Data Science stakeholders to develop high-quality, focused products (and inspire your team to independently initiate this same collaboration).

• Seek diverse perspectives to drive bottom-up innovation and create buy-in from all technical stakeholders inside and outside the team.

• Develop an advanced understanding of Twitter’s developer community and processes. Be a strong advocate for your platform and make thoughtful changes to improve communication and collaboration of developers across teams.

• Ensure the team fully understands the goals and objectives of Twitter as a company and how their work fits into 'the bigger picture.
