Cloud Platform @ Twitter | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE We're looking for engineers to come work on Twitter's Cloud Platform team in downtown San Francisco. All of Twitter's stateless services run on our platform, and this means we need to support hundreds of thousands of tasks running across tens of thousands of machines (and growing every day!). Our platform is almost entirely open sourced via Apache Mesos and Apache Aurora, and we're looking to push on and improve the efficiency, usability and reliability of our platform at our unique scale. We have the following technologies on our team: * Mesos - C++ - Isolation and resource management (https://github.com/apache/mesos) * Aurora - Java - Service scheduler. (https://github.com/apache/aurora) * Workflows - Scala/ReactJS - our internal Continuous Delivery platform * Analytics Pipeline - Sc

ala/Python - our data pipeline to feed back to users to help them make smarter decisions about how they use our platform. * Operations - Python/Go/Puppet/etc. - The tooling we use to do all of this with a pretty painless oncall and only two SREs. As you can imagine, it's a great team for an experienced generalist who enjoys all parts of building a product, but we also have problems that a specialist in any of these areas would have a field day with. We're mostly looking for candidates who have at least a couple years experience designing (and implementing) complex systems in a team environment, as well as candidates excited about this space. If this interests you at all or you'd like more information on the work we're doing, our roadmap or any other questions, please get in touch at dm@twitter.com
In Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2017)
> Several engineers suggest that Aurora is more robust, though more difficult to set up, than Chronos. I haven’t evaluated Aurora yet, but it’s likely worth looking in to. I've tried out Aurora (and helped improve the setup docs a small bit) and found it quite nice. If you're going to try it out use vagrant, and to deploy it in production I suggest working off the Vagrant setup: https://github.com/apache/aurora/blob/master/examples/vagran... > Instrument your jobs to identify whether they ran or not Prometheus.io let's you alert on when the job last succeeded, which is generally what you want. http://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/pushing/ has a full example for Java.
