The Who, What, Why and Where

Twilio is growing rapidly and Programmable Messaging is its biggest product. To keep pace with evolving messaging platforms, we need strong engineers that can create innovative solutions as a part of our Messaging Channels team..

**Who?**Twilio is looking for a Senior Software Engineer who has a track record of creating and operating highly scalable, stable and secure web services. The following are some of the core competencies for a candidate to be successful in this position:

• 5+ years of Engineering experience, developing and maintaining high traffic services.
• Strong fundamental knowledge of software development and best practices, especially with respect to web service implementation.
• Experience with the ins and outs of external systems integration, with defensive and hardened approaches to mitigate downstream issues.
• Technical leader and a mentor to junior members of the team.
• Some background of JVM languages (Scala is a plus, but Java/Kotlin experience is fine). Python familiarity is helpful.
• RDBMS design and best practices (we use MySQL, but anything related is perfectly ok). Familiarity with key/value stores is also helpful.
• Familiarity with Kubernetes, containers, AWS, and other at-scale infrastructure is awesome, but not strictly required.
• An unwillingness to settle for “good enough”, instead staying focused on longevity through well-tested code and continuous improvement.
• Past experience working in a distributed-first team and collaborating with a variety of engineer and non-engineer roles.

**What?**As a senior engineer in our messaging channels organization, you will live Twilio values by:

• BE AN OWNER & BE BOLD: Own multiple services powering Twilio’s suite of “over-the-top” messaging channels: MMS, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Verified SMS, and other providers
• DRAW THE OWL: Design and develop elegant and scalable solutions across a wide variety of contexts, fronted with a highly available and responsive API guaranteeing 99.999% SLA.
• EMPOWER OTHERS: Interact extensively across all other engineering teams within Twilio and more specifically within other messaging teams to align on engineering architecture decisions.
