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.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
