Twilio powers real-time business communications and data solutions that help companies and developers worldwide build better applications and customer experiences.

Although we're headquartered in San Francisco, we're on a journey to becoming a globally antiracist company that supports diversity, equity & inclusion wherever we do business. We employ thousands of Twilions worldwide, and we're looking for more builders, creators, and visionaries to help fuel our growth momentum.

About the job

This position is responsible for leading and growing a team of talented software engineers in Twilio Engage’s Destinations team. We are looking for an outstanding Software Engineering Manager to join and lead the Destinations team, which is at the core of Twilio Engage’s strategy. This team is building the next-gen data pipelines for batch and realtime processing. In this role you will lead a team of software engineers to partner with Product, Analytics, and Engineering teams to build products that enable marketers to make smart decisions about their campaigns and deliver personalized customer experiences. This role is highly strategic and is uniquely positioned to drive multiplier impacts for Twilio Engage as we continue to innovate and expand our core products. At the same time, you will get to lead an amazing team of talented software engineers to shape the future of our business. 

Twilio Engage is the brand new growth automation platform, built natively on Segment as the customer data platform (CDP) and natively on Twilio’s communications APIs. Our vision is a unified platform that intelligently delivers the most relevant content to marketers through the best channel at every point in their lifecycle. Imagine a platform that can take the hundreds of thousands of messages entering Segment’s pipelines every second, add in a new identity graph, and overlay multiple high speed, realtime and batch databases — and you have the Personas platform.  We’ve since built several successful products on top of the Personas platform: Segment Audiences for real time audience management, Segment Traits for computation, and Profile API for real time personalization. 

The Destinations team enables all syncs in the Personas platform.  We make it easy to send and use good profile data in the tools that marketers use to drive business value. We reliably deliver computed traits and audience membership to multiple destinations.
