We are looking for a hardworking and experienced engineering leader who is excited at the opportunity to lead services at scale to power Twilio’s next generation products. You are eager to learn from the team as well as inspire your teammates with your knowledge and skills.

  • Oversee on-call incident escalation and response processes for the team.
  • Lead and grow a team of passionate engineers in an early-stage product. Provide support and mentorship that enables the team to self-organize and to achieve sustained high velocity and predictability.

Why?

Today, Twilio powers the delivery of billions of the world’s communications. Customer conversations are one of the most informative indicators of a product and business’ health. They cover every time a customer was delighted, frustrated, buying more, closing their account, needing help, etc. But usually those conversations are trapped away in a black box, analyzed only by listening to them one by one, or with basic keyword search capabilities.

The Twilio AI team is building a platform that uses machine learning to transcribe, categorise, and extract meaning out of customer conversations so companies can evaluate every one of them and build workflows that automate actions, like prioritizing high value leads to follow up on or identifying customers likely to churn. Our goal is to help companies power more effective business processes and better customer engagement, by understanding the meaning in every conversation.

Twilio is a company that is empowering the world’s developers with modern communication in order to build better applications. Twilio is truly unique; we are a company committed to your growth, your learning, your development, and your entire employee experience. We only win when our employees succeed, and we're dedicated to helping you develop your strengths. We have a cultural foundation built on diversity, inclusion, and innovation, and we want you and your ideas to thrive at Twilio.

Where?

We are a team that believes in remote working and remote-friendly practices, and we are distributed across three continents. This position is based in the EU, either remote or (post-COVID) in one of Twilio's offices. What you will also get to experience is a company that believes in small teams for maximum impact; that strives to balance work and home life, that understands that this is a marathon, not a sprint; that continuously and purposefully builds an inclusive culture where everyone is able to do and be the best version of themselves. We seek people who naturally demonstrate our values, who are challenged by problems, empower others to thrive, people who can draw the owl and not be beholden to one playbook.

• You thrive as a champion for your team, setting individuals up for success and putting others’ growth first.
• You have strong experience leading and managing distributed teams.
• You are passionate about operational excellence and know how to build an engineering organization that delivers it.
• You understand the architecture and processes required to build and operate always-available complex and scalable distributed systems in cloud and DevOps environments.
• You are familiar with agile processes, continuous integration and test automation.
• You are a strategic problem solver and thrive operating in broad scope, from conception through continuous operation of 24x7 services.
• You love to make an impact and thrive in collaborative, energetic teams.
• You can own multiple disparate sets of areas and you are able to distill complex and ambiguous situations into measurable plans for your team.
• Bonus: You have experience with Machine Learning or data products.
