About the job
This position is needed to create high-quality, modern cloud solutions to deliver Twilio’s Customer Data Platform (CDP).

At Twilio Segment, we believe in giving our customers control over all of the most important data for their business – customer data. It all comes down to one core belief: companies should be able to send their data wherever they want, whenever they want, without any fuss. This has been a core philosophy to how we’ve built our products from day one, and we’re excited to take this to the next level to fully realize this promise
You will work side-by-side with other engineers, designers, product managers, and members of our go-to-market team to opportunity size, brainstorm, execute, and detail the results of your work. We’re a team that loves pushing the Segment product forward, delighting our customers, and making an impact on the bottom line of the business!
Responsibilities

- Use your full-stack engineering knowledge to build delightful user experiences and robust engineering systems. You’ll primarily be working in TypeScript, React, Node, Apollo GraphQL, and SQL.
- Identifying opportunities for improving the Segment product with data, research, and creativity. We believe the best ideas come from all members of the team, and empower our engineers to be product thinkers.
- Creating re-usable systems and abstractions that help us move fast and iterate quickly. We’re excited about empowering other teams to help them share our passion for product quality and development velocity.
- Build best-in-class controls to achieve data quality, consistency, transformation and privacy.
- Provide our customers detailed insight into how their data flows through Segment’s systems.
- Architecting our systems to run in multiple AWS regions throughout the world.
