The Position

Who We Are

At Twitter, we work on some of the world’s largest distributed systems -- our core infrastructure receives hundreds of millions of Tweets per day and serves tens of billions of API requests, all with an uptime over 99.9%. Our other systems operate at a similarly staggering scale: we serve over 2+ billion search queries per day, render hundreds of millions of ad impressions, process hundreds of terabytes of log and interaction data daily to drive billions in bottom-line revenue.

The Data Management Organization (DMO) is chartered with making data discoverable, usable, and compliant. We shape Twitter’s data strategy through cutting-edge tools and services and by managing Twitter’s end to end data lifecycle. As a member of this team, your work will be central to driving progress in privacy, security, and customer trust, through impactful insights that identify corrective, preventive, and growth opportunities.
