Who We Are:

Twitter is looking for an engineering leader to oversee quality for the home timeline. The team’s mission is to show users the content they care about. We build relevance and machine learning models and systems to power the core of the Twitter product. Every time users see new tweets we evaluate candidates from the nearly half a billion daily tweets to select, organize and deliver the best timeline. The recent products and technologies built by our team have shown consistent results in driving retention and are some of largest contributors of engagements on the platform.

We’re looking for a hands-on, technical manager with a real passion for working on user-facing products. The ideal candidate would be equally comfortable guiding the development of models to rank tweets and predict engagement, whiteboarding new product ideas with designers and product managers, or brainstorming ways to efficiently index and serve tweets with systems engineers.

Who You Are:

• You have a background in machine learning, ideally prediction/binary classification, logistic regression, decision trees, deep learning techniques
• You have familiarity with A/B experiments and metrics
• You have enthusiasm for experiment and metrics-driven iterative product development
• You can hold your own technically with engineers on the team and give constructive feedback on projects and ideas
• You have a sense of urgency, move quickly and ship things
• You can partner with other leads from engineering, product and design to craft a roadmap and measures of success
• You can be a bold source of engineering talent and will be comfortable closing candidates
