Job Description

Who We Are

Twitter’s Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team focuses on the reliability, scalability, and performance of Twitter’s production environment. SREs are Software and Systems Engineers who specialize in large-scale distributed systems, low-level systems, and associated automation, tooling, and processes.

SREs drive operational excellence across Twitter by enabling partner teams across Product, Platform, and Infrastructure to up-level the health of their services in production, achieve desired reliability outcomes, and empowering them to self-serve in key areas of building, operating, and maintaining production services. This is achieved through strong partnerships and continuous collaboration with partner engineering teams.

We’re looking for a technical and industry-experienced engineering manager to join us and lead a team of talented SREs to partner with our Engineering Effectiveness product teams. The candidate must have experience building, operating, and driving reliability for production systems.

Engineering Effectiveness helps engineers at Twitter enjoyably iterate faster, from ideas and code, to shiping high-quality products. Our vision is to enable software development at the scale of Twitter, but with the ease and speed of a startup. We do this by supporting the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC), including core developer tools and environments, build tools, code review, source version control, CI/CD pipelines, education, and documentation.

  • Help the individuals on your team to build and execute personal development plans that align with Twitter’s goals and objectives, and understand how their work fits into the bigger picture.

  • Scale the team up by sourcing and hiring talented SREs both externally and internally.
