Join the team as our next Lead Engineer, Profiles Platform
Who we are & why we’re hiring
Twilio powers real-time business communications and data solutions that help companies and developers worldwide build better applications and customer experiences.
Although we're headquartered in San Francisco, we're on a journey to becoming a globally antiracist company that supports diversity, equity & inclusion wherever we do business. We employ thousands of Twilions worldwide, and we're looking for more builders, creators, and visionaries to help fuel our growth momentum.
About the job
As a Backend Engineer on the Profiles team you will develop the next generation of data platform technologies which will allow the platform to operate at 10x today's scale. The Profiles Platform powers identity resolution and provides managed access to profiles data which will serve as the backbone to all Twilio Engage product efforts.
Twilio Engage is the brand new growth automation platform, built natively on Segment as the customer data platform (CDP) and natively on Twilio’s communications APIs. Our vision is a unified platform that intelligently delivers the most relevant content to marketers through the best channel at every point in their lifecycle. Imagine a platform that can take the hundreds of thousands of messages entering Segment’s pipelines every second, add in a new identity graph, and overlay multiple high speed, realtime and batch databases — and you have the Personas platform. We’ve since built several successful products on top of the Personas platform: Segment Audiences for real time audience management, Segment Traits for computation, and Profile API for real time personalization.
With the multi-channel customer data provided by segment we can add more intelligence to our customer engagement products by transforming raw customer data across all channels into actionable, individualized, machine-learning based customer predictions that marketers can use in any workflow or process.
