Who We Are:

At Twitter, our advertising business went from zero to two billion in revenue faster than any other company. It’s critically important to show that value in a way advertisers understand, trust, and can dig into for more detail.

Our team is responsible for all interfaces between Twitter ad products and advertisers such as ads.twitter.com and the ads API. We aim to build a high quality API framework that enables teams to build full-stack products that make it easy for advertisers to create and measure their campaigns and objectives.

The Advertiser API platform serves some of the world’s biggest brands, agencies, and Ad Tech partners, solves their campaign, creative, and audience management needs and provides insights and analytics. We’re focused on developer efficiency, driving an API first philosophy and ensuring that our platform is stable, extensible, and scalable.

Our Engineering Environment:

At Twitter, we believe that good system designs require collaboration so that the end result is simple yet sophisticated. We promote openness by contributing to open source and sharing our data through Twitter’s API (learn more here - https://dev.twitter.com/ads/overview).
