About the Role

The Discovery Team in App Experiences manages a wide array of features and systems to help communities form, grow, and thrive on Twitch. These features let people participate in their favorite communities and discover new ones more efficiently. We work hard to bring novel opportunities to the world of streaming both individually and in collaboration with similar streamers.

Our consumer facing features span both web and mobile surfaces, we’re working hard to build fast, reliable, and easy to understand client-side experiences. This position is primarily focused across the entire stack (React and Golang) but will lean initially more toward backend systems, with future efforts moving more client-side.
