About the job
This position is needed to grow and evolve our Content Personalization team. The content personalization team is a new team within Twilio Engage that is responsible for building tools and features for customers to personalize messages in various marketing channels (SMS/MMS/Whatsapp/Email) in Twilio Engage. Twilio Engage brings together Segment, SendGrid, and Twilio into a single product, enabling marketers to create omni-channel, hyper-personalized experiences at every step of the customer engagement lifecycle. The Content Personalization team is growing rapidly, and we are seeking a Full Stack Engineer to join our team. This role will help define and build the platform and primitives necessary to create a seamless onboarding experience as well as providing customers with the systems and tools needed to create hyper-personalized content experiences.
Today our product requires scaling a complex front-end while still delivering new rich UI features. The design challenges are meaty, and you’ll be expected to work closely with design and research to iterate on a fast-changing product.
You will need to understand and articulate the trade-offs between new functionality and stability. You will need to persuade all involved to make the right architectural choices for the long term technical and financial health of the product.
Responsibilities
In this role, you’ll:
- Build out new functionality within a young product seeing rapid adoption
- Work with a team of engineers through difficult architectural trade-offs
- Collaborate on detailed design documents and action plans for features slated for development
- Support strategic technical initiatives that impact the entire engineering organization
- Rapidly acquire new technical skills and knowledge in a fast-paced, high-delivery environment
- Manage your work through the use of Github, Jira, and our build/deploy systems

Twilio values diverse experiences in other industries, and we encourage everyone who meets the required qualifications to apply.

- Experience crafting APIs, like you understand that a good API contract is a critical part of a good UI

- An entrepreneurial approach, ready to assemble and lead cross-functional teams
- Excellent collaborator. Ability to foster alignment cross-functionally and cross-organizationally
- Schedule: Ability to work non-standard, on-call rotation weekend and holiday hours, shared evenly with all engineers on the team. We believe that we are responsible for the code we write and how it runs in production
Desired:

- You love partnering with design to create impactful customer experiences and not just implementing designs that are tossed over the fence
- You’ve had experience with at least one of GraphQL or REST
