Software Engineer L3

See yourself at Twilio

Join the team as Twilio’s next Software Engineer (L3).

About the job

The Phone Numbers Platform is the heartbeat of Twilio. In 2026, "getting a phone number" is no longer a simple API call; it is a sophisticated orchestration of global inventory, real-time identity verification (KYC), and automated regulatory compliance.

As a Software Engineer (P3), you will own the technical strategy for a platform that processes millions of requests. You will be expected to pioneer AI-driven development workflows using LLMs and agentic agents to accelerate code generation, automate architectural reviews, and synthesize complex global telecommunications regulations into executable logic. Your mission is to collapse the distance between a great idea and a production ready feature.

As a Software Engineer (P3), you will drive the design and implementation of key features for a platform that processes millions of requests. You will leverage modern AI-driven development workflows—including LLMs and agentic tools—to accelerate your code generation, streamline architectural reviews, and implement complex global telecommunications regulations into robust executable logic. Your mission is to efficiently turn great ideas into high-quality, production-ready features

Responsibilities

In this role, you’ll:

• DRAW THE OWL: Contribute Significantly to the architecture and long-term technical roadmap for the Phone Numbers Platform, transitioning legacy systems into a modern, distributed microservices architecture that supports global scale.
• ACCELERATE WITH AI: Lead by example in using AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Anthropic Claude, or internal LLMs) to automate boilerplate, generate exhaustive test suites, and perform rapid prototyping. You will be measured on your ability to amplify your own output and the team's velocity through AI augmentation.
• BE AN OWNER: Drive technical excellence in the team, making critical architectural decisions that balance rapid feature innovation with world-class reliability and security.
• WEAR THE CUSTOMER’S SHOES: Partner with Product Managers to translate complex global telecommunications regulations and customer needs into elegant, developer-first APIs and application workflows.
• EMPOWER OTHERS: Mentor and uplift junior and mid level engineers. Foster a culture of technical curiosity, ownership, and continuous learning. Teach the team how to move from "writing code" to "reviewing and orchestrating AI-generated logic"
