Why?

For the last ten years, the Twilio Super Network group has been hard at work building an Intelligent and Resilient Global Infrastructure to reach anyone in the world over SMS or a voice call through one provider, at any scale. There are hundreds of millions of messages and calls going through the Super Network platform and the telecom carriers connected to it. These transactions are Twilio’s major source of revenue and its biggest expense. Our team builds and maintains carrier cost tracking systems that help Super Network control and optimize these expenditures.

To be able to process and enrich this enormous amount of complex business data in a scalable, flexible, and resilient way and achieve the most accurate outcome, we use Spark as the our core distributed computing engine, Kafka as the asynchronous data pipeline and combine multiple data sources depending on our need - MySQL, ElasticSearch, S3, and Presto.

Most of us were Java developers prior to joining Twilio, but have quickly transitioned to our now preferred language, Scala.We are the first and so far the only Twilio engineering team outside of the US to receive an Iron Owl - Twilio’s internal award for reaching the highest bar of operational and engineering excellence for a service. Also, we’re not afraid to crack a joke or two once in a while.

To sum it all up, if you choose to join our team you’ll get a unique chance to work and learn from the best engineers in an environment that is as challenging as it is friendly and comfortable.

Twilio is truly outstanding; we are a company committed to your growth, your learning, your development, and your entire employee experience.
