Design and implement real-time services with high throughput and low latency requirements, verify, deploy and operationalize them
Work closely with stakeholders to understand customer needs and, devise and deliver, simple, robust and scalable solutions
Be comfortable expressing thoughts and ideas as detailed prose and use it as an effective means to collaborate with leads, architects and cross functional teams
Embrace the challenge of scaling a complex distributed platform with points of presence globally, each one concerned with high availability, high reliability, high throughput, low latency, and media fidelity

Qualifications
Not all applicants will have skills that match a job description exactly. Twilio values diverse experiences in other industries, and we encourage everyone who meets the required qualifications to apply. While having “desired” qualifications make for a strong candidate, we encourage applicants with alternative experiences to also apply. If your career is just starting or hasn't followed a traditional path, don't let that stop you from considering Twilio. We are always looking for people who will bring something new to the table!
Required:
Minimum 6 years of hands-on experience in a large scale, distributed applications environment on JVM based technologies
Able to demonstrate proficiency in at least one language, web stack and framework
Hands on experience scaling production backend systems, with the proven ability to design and develop horizontally-scalable, resilient and performing-under-load systems
Experience scaling data tiers employing a variety of SQL/NoSQL database and caching technologies
Hands on experience with cloud technologies such as AWS, GCP, OpenStack or Azure
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related engineering field
Strong Computer Science fundamentals not limited to data structures, algorithms, operating systems, and distributed systems
Able to work well in a team setting and both highly motivated and motivating
Desired:
Knowledge and experience working with the webRTC protocol
Knowledge and experience working with SIP protocol
Location
This role will be based in our Tallinn, Estonia office, or remote in Estonia.
Travel
We prioritize connection and opportunities to build relationships with our customers and each other. For this role, you may be required to travel occasionally to participate in project or team in-person meetings.
What We Offer
There are many benefits to working at Twilio, including, in addition to competitive pay, things like generous time-off, ample parental and wellness leave, healthcare, a retirement savings program, and much more. Offerings vary by location.
Twilio thinks big. Do you?
We like to solve problems, take initiative, pitch in when needed, and are always up for trying new things. That's why we seek out colleagues who embody our values — something we call Twilio Magic. Additionally, we empower employees to build positive change in their communities by supporting their volunteering and donation efforts.
