Director of Product Development - Developer Success

Twitch is the world’s leading video platform and community for gamers, with more than 100 million visitors per month. We connect gamers from around the world by allowing them to broadcast, watch, and chat with each other. Twitch’s live and on-demand video platform forms the backbone of a distribution network for video game broadcasters including pro players, tournaments, leagues, developers and gaming media organizations.

As creators of the games and apps Twitch broadcasters and viewers revel in, developers are incredibly important partners for Twitch. They are already reaching tens of millions of viewers on Twitch today; we want to help them wrap even more broadcasters, viewers and users into their products. The Developer Success team helps creators present their products to viewers who may like them, engage with their existing users, and find innovative new ways to generate revenue. You’ll run the team that builds all developer-facing products for Twitch. We’ll need you to build your team, help define the roadmap, collaborate with other engineering and product leaders, and ship products that delight developers. If you enjoy building, making things right, and learning from mistakes, we’d do well together. A sense of humor always helps. And, we abide by the “no asshole” rule.
