## About the role

You'll be based in Twenty's New York City office, building and operating the data integrations that feed Twenty's mission-critical platform. Twenty builds software for cyber operations, and the applications this role feeds are used by operators and analysts working against hard national security problems.

## What they're looking for

- You independently identify the right solution to ambiguous, open-ended problems. New data sources arrive undocumented and messy, you investigate, form a design, and deliver without waiting for a spec
- You respond with urgency to operational issues and own resolution within your sphere. You're unafraid to call an incident when the signal warrants it
- You proactively create and update runbooks and documentation for the components you own. Some of the environments your code runs in are ones you'll never touch, and what you write down is what the engineers there have to work with
- You make informed decisions by consulting the right stakeholders and balancing detail with the big picture, and you execute against the spirit of the requirement, not just the letter
- You actively seek out and eliminate sources of toil. Repetitive manual work is a design problem, and you treat it like one
- You understand the customer and the mission well enough to know which work has the greatest impact, and you redirect your focus when what you're doing isn't moving the needle
