SDE - React & iOS

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. Be sure to explore our Interviewing Guide to learn how to ace our interview process.

The Twitch Community Discovery & Engagement team 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.

These features will span both web and mobile surfaces. We’re particularly interested in someone that will become an expert in both of these platforms as well as has passion in influencing what these features should be and how they work. Some examples of some of these today are Stream Together, Shared Chat, and Whispers.

This role is expected to be fullstack but with a significant bias towards Frontend and Mobile implementations over backend.

You will be empowered to work across these various features, and will partner with other engineers, product managers, designers, and data analysts to deliver solutions that allow viewers to connect and streamers to live out their dream jobs.

You can work in San Francisco, CA; Irvine, CA; New York, NY; or Seattle, WA.
