Twitter to build engineering centre in Singapore

It will hire 65 engineers and data scientists in the city.

Social media giant Twitter is building its first engineering centre in Asia Pacific based in the company’s regional headquarters in Singapore, according to a press release.

With the building of the engineering centre, Twitter aims to improve its service availability and reliability for people who use Twitter around the world.

The company is also committing to hire 65 technical talent covering product engineering, software engineering, data engineering and data science in Singapore.

This comes after it founded its international data science team in Singapore in 2016, the company’s first outside of the US.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
