About the Role

This position is needed to enable Segment customers to instrument high-quality, first-party data from their mobile apps, which drives their Analytics, Customer Engagement & overall decision making. 

Segment is Twilio’s Customer Data Platform (CDP) which standardizes and streamlines data infrastructure for Twilio customers. From startups to the Fortune 100, businesses of all sizes rely on the Segment Platform to collect data once, and then deliver across Segment’s catalog of hundreds of business integrations and thousands of customer data warehouses.
