The Twitter Core Storage team builds storage systems that power all of Twitter.  We have deep expertise in key-value and binary file storage systems.  As a core storage software engineer, you will face some of the most difficult challenges in modern software engineering. You will be responsible for building the next-generation distributed storage systems at Twitter that hold data used by millions of people as they connect, explore, and interact with information and one another. The scale at which our distributed storage systems must operate will require not only producing and using highly-performant algorithms and data structures, but also solving complex problems involving highly distributed systems. Operating our own systems at hypergrowth levels is rewarding challenge, it is what helps make us great. We are a tight knit and passionate group that loves working together, and we are looking for exceptional additions to our flock.
 
The ideal candidate will be knowledgeable in data structures and algorithms. They will demonstrate an aptitude for creative problem solving, distributed system design and implementation of complex storage algorithms.

Responsibilities:

• Build highly-available, highly-performant, redundant, scalable distributed storage systems.
• Write code that is performant, maintainable, clear, and concise.
• Work closely with other engineers within your group and across the entire engineering organization.

Requirements:

• BA/BS, MA/MS or PhD in Computer Science or related technical field (Mathematics, Statistics, etc.)
• Strong algorithms and data structures background.
• Experience developing scalable and complex distributed systems.
• Experience with distributed storage systems such as Cassandra, HBase, MongoDB and MegaStore BigTable.
• Required language skills: advanced Java, Python, C, C++ (Scala is a plus).
• Development experience on the JVM, including asynchronous I/O, threading, and the Java memory model.
• Production experience with UNIX/Linux environments.
• Experience with Linux operating system internals, filesystems, disk/storage technologies and storage protocols.
• Willingness to work as part of a large engineer team, and to build into Twitter's software stack and engineering development models. 

We're a strong supporter of creating a diverse workforce and proud  to be an equal opportunity employer.
