Join the team as our next Software Engineer in Spain for the Event Streams team! 

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 global company that actively opposes racism and all forms of oppression and bias. At Twilio, we support diversity, equity & inclusion wherever we do business.

This position is needed to contribute as a developer and operator of the Event Streams product by building features, implementing system improvements, and informing the future of the product.

Twilio's Event Streams team is looking for an inspired, humble, growth-oriented Software Engineer. As a backend engineer, you will develop Java services and support Kubernetes infrastructure to deliver Event Streams, a product that allows our customers to consume a configurable unified stream of events that represent every interaction on Twilio.

• Demonstrate quickness in learning and interest in teaching others. Take part in sprint and quarterly planning ceremonies.
• Contribute to a highly collaborative team, sharing your ideas and requesting feedback.
• Communicate complex ideas simply through verbal and written communication. Engineering teams are autonomous mini-startups at Twilio.

Not all applicants will have skills that match a job description exactly. Twilio values diverse experiences in other industries, and we encourage everyone who meets the required qualifications to apply. While having “desired” qualifications make for a strong candidate, we encourage applicants with alternative experiences to also apply. If your career is just starting or hasn't followed a traditional path, don't let that stop you from considering Twilio. We are always looking for people who will bring something new to the table!

Required:

• 2-5 years of backend development experience, preferably with Java.
• Experience consuming and designing mature REST APIs.
• Demonstrated cross-team communication and collaboration skills.

• Computer Science degree or equivalent experience.

Desired:

• Kafka or a similar message queuing system used in stream processing.
• Experience deploying and operating services on Kubernetes.
• Experience building fault-tolerant backend services on top of AWS managed services (like databases, caches)
• Experience working with high traffic, highly scalable systems and complex code bases.
• Observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, Rollbar…)

Location

This role will be remote and based in Spain.

There are many benefits to working at Twilio, including, in addition to competitive pay, things like generous time-off, ample parental and wellness leave, healthcare, a retirement savings program, and much more. Offerings vary by location.

We like to solve problems, take initiative, pitch in when needed, and are always up for trying new things. That's why we seek out colleagues who embody our values — something we call Twilio Magic. Additionally, we empower employees to build positive change in their communities by supporting their volunteering and donation efforts.

So, if you're ready to unleash your full potential, do your best work, and be the best version of yourself, apply now!
