Because you belong at Twilio

The Who, What, Why and Where

The Twilio platform enables developers to integrate communications directly into their applications

via simple cloud API’s and with on-demand global reach.

As a member of the Programmable Video team, you will develop groundbreaking capabilities in the programmable communications space, enabling developers to build highly differentiated experiences.

Who?

Minimum 5 years hands-on experience developing distributed systems in Java. You have designed and developed horizontally-scalable, resilient and performing-under-load systems in a production environment.

Proficient working knowledge of modern Java with emphasis on concurrent programming.

Extensive operational knowledge of systems. If you have worked through a separate operations team, then you should be able to discuss how you enabled management of the system.

Experience with IP networking and application-level protocols, including an understanding of end-end networks and factors affecting performance. You must be able to troubleshoot application problems at a protocol level.

Capable of operating from conception through continuous operation of 24x7 services. Ideally, you have experience in a production DevOps environment. Hands on experience with cloud technologies such as Amazon Web Services, OpenStack or Azure is a plus.

Well-versed in agile processes, continuous integration and test automation.

This position is for the control plane of the product and therefore does not require experience working with real-time media.

What?

Contribute to the R&D roadmap for Programmable Video, including continuous evaluation of industry standards, techniques, tools and trends. Ensure Twilio develops and maintains an industry competitive advantage.

Own, operate, and maintain your team’s services in a production environment. Make DevOps a primary concern to ensure services are reliable, scalable, manageable and supportable.

Raise the bar on team performance. Enable feature velocity while maintaining quality by writing unit, functional, load and performance tests.

Excel as an engineer and be a productive member of the team where leadership is a behavioral trait, not a title.

Act as an ambassador for Twilio, recruiting and motivating top talent.

Why?

As we have experienced, video has become a significant communications medium leading up to Covid and turbocharged since. Twilio is differentiated in that we offer a programmable product vs an end user product, and we are acknowledged as the leader in the space with a terrific brand amongst developers.

We seek people who naturally demonstrate our values, who are challenged by problems, empower others to thrive, people who can draw the owl and not be beholden to one playbook.
