Job description

Our technology stack is growing faster than our team, so Twitter is bringing on a Mobile Developer to keep the architecture honest. The headline is $84,000 - $127,000, but the story is ownership — technology work you steer at Twitter after just 7 years.

Key Responsibilities

• Support migration of on-premise services to cloud-native architecture
• Reverse-engineer the candor-rich gRPC format Twitter inherited and never documented
• Apply Microsoft Azure and Conflict Resolution to solve generously-mentoring engineering challenges
• Ship MySQL experiments fast, kill the losers, and double down on what sticks
• Turn vague technology tickets into crisp, testable Microsoft Azure acceptance criteria
• Ship Microsoft Azure fixes to Twitter customers in Lexington, KY the same day they report them
• Deliver senior-quality features within the $84,000 - $127,000 Mobile Developer mandate

What You'll Bring

• Comfort interpreting data and translating findings into clear recommendations
• An outcome-focused bias toward action, balanced by knowing when to wait
• The composure to deliver bad news early and clearly
• A communicator who writes the meeting recap nobody asked for but everyone reads
• Clear thinking under the kind of pressure Lexington, KY deadlines bring
• 5+ years of gRPC reps, not just gRPC exposure
• Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities under tight deadlines

Twitter is what happens when question-everything engineers in Lexington decide that good enough is the enemy of great Next.js. Respect for your craft and your life outside it sits at the core of how Twitter operates.

The offer is plainspoken: $84,000 - $127,000, coaching that grows you, benefits that cover you, and a schedule that flexes with Lexington.

The search is live, the seat is funded, and we are interviewing this week.
