Code that ships to millions starts as a pull request on someone's screen, and at Twitter we want that someone to be our next Performance Engineer. The junior Performance Engineer role rewards range — Docker, Nginx, 1 years — with $76,000 - $112,000 and a seat that grows beyond it.
Key Responsibilities
- Re-architect the technology flow so Process Improvement handles ten times Corona's current load
- Optimize application performance, latency, and resource utilization at scale
- Coordinate releases with stakeholders across Corona, CA and remote teams
- Keep the technology Flask service humming through Corona's holiday traffic surge
- Ship Process Improvement experiments fast, kill the losers, and double down on what sticks
- Tune Python caching so Twitter survives the Corona launch spike on the same hardware
- Write clean, well-tested code that scales with Twitter's growing user base
- Catch the service-minded Process Improvement regression in staging before it ever reaches Corona customers
What You'll Bring
- Bachelor's degree in a related field, or equivalent practical experience
- Ability to learn new technology systems quickly and apply them effectively
- Meticulous attention to detail across every deliverable
- Proven Selenium judgment when the textbook answer doesn't fit
- Solid understanding of technology best practices and industry standards
- The grit to debug at 4pm on a Friday without complaint
The mission-driven team behind Twitter chose Corona on purpose, betting that great technology work doesn't need a coastal zip code. We believe the best technology decisions get made closest to the work, not three floors up.
Sign on for $76,000 - $112,000, gain a growth path into technology, a personal mentor, and benefits that make Corona feel like home.
This role is being actively staffed, with offers expected before the quarter closes.
The team in Corona, CA is one strong Performance Engineer away from complete, and that could be you.
