Twitter | San Francisco, CA and REMOTE | Frontend/backend/fullstack, data science, and engineering management

We're starting a new team to build a new capacity management system for our infrastructure platform. This iteration has a stronger product focus on enabling engineers while supporting partners in finance and supply.

We need to build internal tooling to predict demand, track supply, prioritize allocations, and report on utilization across a large fleet of physical servers (>100k) and an expanding footprint in public cloud. We need data pipelines, clear visualizations and UIs, forecasting, reporting, etc.

Hiring is across the stack and includes a data scientist and engineering manager. Product focused engineers who can engage with internal customers, challenge the status quo, and rapidly iterate are especially suitable.

SF is preferred but we're open to other Twitter offices and fully remote.

Did you try their "Migrate IMAP Mailbox" which grabs directly from your GMail? It pulled across 3GB in about 30 minutes and worked well.

We're using FreeBSD jails, i.e. operating system-level virtualization. They provide all the security and process isolation that we need without a lot of the unnecessary features of heavier weight virtualization. Saying that though, we're running in EC2 so we are also using Xen beneath.

Please feel free to ask any questions about the technology we're building!
