Senior Associate, Strategy & Operations – Product Foundation

Twitter is what’s happening and what people are talking about right now. For us, life’s not about a job, it’s about purpose. We believe real change starts with conversation. Here, your voice matters. Come as you are and together we’ll do what’s right (not what’s easy) to serve the public conversation.

The Product Foundation org enables rapid iteration and innovation at Twitter scale.  Product Foundation is a full stack org that serves both end users — the people who use Twitter every day — and internal product teams within Twitter. It comprises four pillars: Client Foundation (responsible for the overall UI and infrastructure of our consumer clients including iOS, Android, Twitter Lite, and Web), Core Services (responsible for the building blocks & API that power the core user experience on Twitter), Media Infrastructure (responsible for powering the sharing and consumption of images, gifs, videos, and live videos), and Product Learning Platform (responsible for gathering and organizing the behavioral information that allows product teams to learn about their customers’ needs and what features could be built to fulfill them).
