Come as you are and together we'll do what's right (not what's easy) to serve the public conversation.

Job description

As a full-stack engineer on the (Service) Continuous Deployment team, you’ll build tools to accelerate software delivery of backend services at Twitter.

Our goal is to free up engineers from the burden of configuring and maintaining Continuous Deployment pipelines, so they can focus on adding value to Twitter's users.

You’ll work directly with both internal customers and peers from other Platform teams on many kinds of projects and technologies that help engineers ship code changes to production:

Design opinionated but flexible products that make it easy for service owners to adhere to Continuous Deployment best practices
Craft tools, processes, and frameworks to guide colleagues through safely releasing production code
Guide and support colleagues who are deploying distributed systems
Implement software in a reliable and sustainable manner
Support and maintain your software to ensure a high-quality customer experience
Collaborate with, learn from, and mentor teammates

About Twitter

Twitter is an American microblogging and social networking service on which users post and interact with messages known as "tweets". Registered users can post, like and retweet tweets, but unregistered users can only read them. Users access Twitter through its website interface or its mobile-device application software, though the service could also be accessed via SMS before April 2020. Twitter, Inc. is based in San Francisco, California, and has more than 25 offices around the world. Tweets were originally restricted to 140 characters, but was doubled to 280 for non-CJK languages in November 2017. Audio and video tweets remain limited to 140 seconds for most accounts. Twitter was created by Jack Dorsey, Noah Glass, Biz Stone, and Evan Williams in March 2006 and launched in July of that year. By 2012, more than 100 million users posted 340 million tweets a day, and the service handled an average of 1.6 billion search queries per day. In 2013, it was one of the ten most-visited websites and has been described as "the SMS of the Internet". As of Q1 2019, Twitter had more than 330 million monthly active users. Twitter is a some-to-many microblogging service, given that the vast majority of tweets are written by a small minority of users.
