Engineering Manager, Machine Learning - Explore Team

Twitter is what’s happening and what people are talking about right now. For us, life's not about a job, it's about purpose. We believe real change starts with conversation. Here, your voice matters. Come as you are and together we'll do what's right (not what's easy) to serve the public conversation.

When an event occurs in the real-world, it often breaks out on Twitter. Trends provide a pulse of the public conversation to the world. Movements such as #BLM, #MeToo and Arab spring are happening on Twitter. The Explore team builds, scales and maintains the services that power the discovery of interesting and eventful conversations across the product. We detect and surface what’s happening, contextualizing by finding the most interesting content around events, including Trends, Moments, and Live Videos for users. We are a tightly-knit and hardworking group that loves working together, and we are looking for outstanding additions to our flock.
