What the job involves

This position is needed to contribute as a developer and operator of the Event Streams product by building features, implementing system improvements, and informing the future of the product
Twilio's Event Streams team is looking for an inspired, humble, growth-oriented Software Engineer.
As a backend engineer, you will develop Java services and support Kubernetes infrastructure to deliver Event Streams, a product that allows our customers to consume a configurable unified stream of events that represent every interaction on Twilio
Design, implement, test rigorously and support microservices at scale in a collaborative environment
Advocate for and implement operational best practices and serve on-call for the team’s services

Contribute to a highly collaborative team, sharing your ideas and requesting feedback
Communicate complex ideas simply through verbal and written communication. Engineering teams are autonomous mini-startups at Twilio

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.
