Sr. Android Engineer - Health User Experience Client

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.

We are the Health User Experience Client team at Twitter and our goal and priorities are to make Twitter safer for our customers and ensure the information shared is of the highest quality. This includes developing innovative solutions around misinformation, civic integrity, toxicity, abuse, spam, privacy and more. It also means helping people understand our rules and when we enforce them and why and improving the experience for when people report unhealthy content, and when they are suspended on the platform. 

We're a thoughtful and motivated team, that despite being relatively small, has a large impact on the world and the company. Your skill and passion will be appreciated and rewarded here. 

What You'll Do:

As part of the Android team you'll be responsible for building and improving some of our core Health User Experience products to Android. You will use your in-depth knowledge of all things Android to craft new Twitter features that are uniquely Android-based.  

We are looking for engineers to build out the product and infrastructure for what a healthy Twitter will look like. This includes new controls / tools to help people safeguard themselves and have more control over their Twitter Experience - especially when it gets toxic or abusive or polarizing. It includes improving the tools our agents use to enforce our site policies. 

Additionally, as deeply cross-functional, and building strong relationships across Product, User Research, Design, Data Science, and cross platform engineering teams will be critical to the success of this role. As Twitter continues to serve as one of the most important communication tools in the world, the need for focusing on the Health of the platform increases. Our work contributes to Twitter's mission to give everyone the power to create and share ideas and information instantly, without barriers.
