Twitch is the world’s biggest live streaming service, with global communities built around gaming, entertainment, music, sports, cooking, and more. It is where thousands of communities come together for whatever, every day.
We’re about community, inside and out. You’ll find coworkers who are eager to team up, collaborate, and smash (or elegantly solve) problems together. We’re on a quest to empower live communities, so if this sounds good to you, see what we’re up to on LinkedIn and X, and discover the projects we’re solving on our Blog.

As an Engineering Manager on the Community Discovery team, you will lead one of three engineering teams working collaboratively to build innovative discovery experiences on Twitch. You'll partner closely with an applied science team to integrate cutting-edge algorithms into production systems that directly impact millions of daily active users.
In this role, you'll oversee the development of software and services that power critical discovery features including recommendations, search, feed ranking, and notification relevance—helping creators connect with their audiences and viewers discover content they love.
You can work from Twitch’s headquarters in San Francisco, CA; or from one of our hub locations in Seattle, WA; Irvine, CA; Los Angeles, CA or New York City, NY.

Build the systems that provide the critical connection between viewers and creators within the Twitch ecosystem

Power and enable ML applications at scale
Partner with applied scientists and other engineering teams to design ML-powered systems that effectively solve customer problems
