Set company-wide architectural vision as Twilio's most senior technical leader
Twilio is hiring a Software Architect (L6), a senior-most technical leadership role requiring 15+ years of experience, to set long-term architectural vision and standardize engineering practices across the whole company, not a single team. The interview focuses on strategic technical leadership at company scale: driving cross-organizational initiatives, resolving highly ambiguous architecture problems, and mentoring principal/staff engineers. Note: despite this JD being labeled 'Software Engineer/Mid' in the source feed, the actual posting is an L6 principal-architect-level role requiring 15+ years — the card below reflects the real JD.
