Defining Twilio Culture

A lot of companies try to define the culture they want to have, and while we have goals for the kind of people we strive to be and the kind of experiences we want to create for everyone who interacts with our company, we also know this is a work in progress.  Each person we add to the team brings new elements to weave into the fabric of details that makes us who we are.

We work hard

We eat well

We joke around

We make customers happy

Jeff Lawson, CEO & Co-Founder

Meet Jeff. He never fits in. Jeff was the first CTO of Stubhub.com, and doesn’t go to sporting events. He built an ajax point of sales system for an extreme sporting goods store, and he can’t skate. He wrote a PHP object translator for javascript, and it was ok. Jeff was the only Product Manager at Amazon Web Services with a linux development box.

Evan Cooke, Ph.D. CTO & Co-Founder

Meet Evan.  Evan is Co-Founder, CTO, and alpha-nerd of Twilio. Evan was recently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in network security and distributed systems at the University of Michigan – a title so large it takes up both sides of a business card. While there he completed his M.S. and Ph.D. in computer science. He hearts massively distributed systems, asynchronous programming, scalable cloud security, monitoring, and analytics, python and twisted.

John Wolthuis, Lead Engineer & Co-Founder

See John. See John hack. Hack, John, hack. A builder at heart, he likes building new software and bending code to his needs. John has built an MTA from scratch in Java, an open source stumbler mapping client, and more banking software than he’d care to admit. He also makes award winning cupcakes.

Adam Ballai, Senior Core Engineer

Meet Adam. Adam likes compiler optimizations, asynchronous socket programming, and distributed data stores. Adam built protobuffers in 2000 before they were cool, built the world’s largest recycling locator (in OCaml!) and ported a C# cross compiler to PS2, and then he ditched C#. Because all good things eventually come to an end.
