What the job involves

We are seeking a Software Engineer to develop a cutting-edge data platform designed to process and extract business value from massive volumes of messaging-specific data
This position plays a critical role in building and maintaining highly scalable, reliable, and efficient systems that will empower both inbound and outbound messaging processes, as well as other internal engineering solutions
Your work will be pivotal in creating data insights interfaces for real-time decision-making, helping drive key business strategies
Design, develop, and implement robust data platform solutions tailored for high-volume messaging data

Optimize data architecture to improve the efficiency of data extraction and analysis

Our take

Traditionally, it has been difficult for businesses to establish communications systems in-house. Twilio was founded from frustration with this expensive and cumbersome process, providing easy-to-use APIs to let businesses send and receive telephone and text communications.

From these beginnings, the company has expanded through acquisitions and product development to provide a suite of services around market data and customer engagement. It is now a market leader in this space, and has developed a customer base of more than 150,000 businesses including enterprise brands such as Deliveroo, Duolingo and Toyota.

With that said, aggressive expansion and lack of maturity in some of its products has impacted the company's efficiency, and like many of its peers it has been forced to restructure heavily to remain competitive. Coming out of this restructuring, the company will focus on profitability, streamlining decision making and R&D to put itself in good stead for future success.
