As Twilio’s Software Engineer, Email Platform (L3), you will join a dynamic team responsible for developing and maintaining highly available, massive-scale distributed systems that process over 12 billion emails during peak events like Black Friday. Your day-to-day responsibilities include architecting reliable features with low latency, driving rigorous code reviews in Go, managing cloud configurations using Terraform across AWS and Azure, ensuring deep observability through standardized metrics and alerts, identifying technical debt, mentoring junior engineers, and leading sprint planning sessions. You will need 4+ years of experience building resilient backend services at scale, proficiency in Go or Java/Python, and hands-on experience with modern development tools like Claude Code. Additionally, you should be familiar with distributed systems, containerized infrastructure (Docker, Kubernetes), database migration pathways, and implementing OpenTelemetry for observability across microservices.
