Who we are & why we’re hiring

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 have presence throughout South America, Europe, Asia and Australia. We're on a journey to becoming a globally anti-racist, anti-oppressive, anti-bias company that actively opposes racism and all forms of oppression and bias. At Twilio, we support 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

We are building out a next generation Product Security team that is focused on creating scalable solutions for a rapidly growing organization. We create tools to eliminate classes of vulnerabilities and provide the Security organization with the visibility we need to make the right decisions.

Projects that our team worked on include:

  • Made tooling to help eliminate the usage of credentials within source code or config files
  • Building tooling that help us manage and eventually eliminate the overhead of vulnerable dependencies in our applications
  • Built an unorthodox means of training our developers (this year, we taught them how to threat model to have more eyes on the architecture)
  • Created a system to identify, classify, and track sensitive data within our infrastructure in real time
About the team

We’re a diverse team of experienced security engineers with strong technical and non-technical backgrounds. We’re a passionate group of individuals who enjoy challenging traditional, prescriptive security techniques of the past and adapting or reimagining them to work with Twilio’s modern development technologies and practices. We talk about our methods and accomplishments in public blogs, at conferences, and in presentations. If you want to be this kind of security person and work with a team that's like you to create innovative security solutions for distributed systems and architecture, we'd love to hear about your approach and introduce you to our team.
