  • Responsibilities

    Job Description

    Company Description At Twitter, we consider it our responsibility to foster a healthy global conversation, inclusive and open to everyone in the world who wants to join.

    Job Description WHO WE ARE

    Our goal is to make it easy to find credible information on Twitter and to limit the spread of potentially harmful and misleading content. We are exploring and developing new solutions to scale and accelerate the ability to respond to misleading information, and ultimately help Twitter customers come away better informed.

    WHAT YOU’LL DO

    We’re looking for an engineer who has backend experience and ideally ability and interest to work full stack to help accelerate all aspects of the project — from backend development, to APIs, to integrations with other Twitter systems (Health, ML, etc), even potentially assist with client development if needed. We are looking for someone who would be able to help the team make smart architectural decisions quickly.

    Qualifications

    • Design elements of our backend architecture with an initial focus on enabling rapid iteration to validate product hypotheses (and plan for broader, scalable designs if hypotheses are validated)
    • Work with Core Services and Platform leads to identify dependencies and plan work
    • Build and design novel user-facing product experiences
    • Design and drive integrations with Twitter’s health processes
    • Partner with client teams to define APIs, and potentially even assist in building client code and product experiences
    • Drive communication and coordination with partner teams (from Health to Legal to Core Services to API, etc).
    • Help define, maintain, and own the project’s datasets conformance
    • Help develop and drive guiding principles for the team on how it operates

    Additional Information WHO YOU ARE:

    YOU’RE PROFICIENT IN PICKING UP NEW PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES AND TECHNOLOGIES ACROSS THE STACK.

    YOU ENJOY HUNTING DOWN BUGS AND BRAINSTORMING WITH OTHER ENGINEERS TO SOLVE PROBLEMS.

    YOU ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT BUILDING CONFIGURATION PRODUCTS THAT ARE INTUITIVE TO USE.

    YOU HAVE STRONG COMMUNICATION SKILLS, CAN WORK INDEPENDENTLY AND DON’T MIND SPENDING SOME TIME ON VIDEO CHAT SINCE OUR TEAM IS GEOGRAPHICALLY DISTRIBUTED.

    APPLICANTS WITH STRONG EXPERIENCE BEYOND THESE BASIC QUALIFICATIONS MAY BE CONSIDERED FOR THIS ROLE AT SENIOR OR STAFF SOFTWARE ENGINEER LEVEL.
