Build and own features in the Twilio Console using React, TypeScript, and Playwright

Twilio is hiring a remote UK-based Frontend Software Engineer to join a SCRUM team that designs, builds, and operates the Twilio Console. The role requires 2+ years of hands-on React/TypeScript experience, strong automated-testing chops (Playwright/Cypress), and comfort owning code end-to-end including on-call and production troubleshooting. This is a solidly mid-level bar — not a senior architecture role — focused on execution, testing discipline, and agile teamwork.
