Remote-First

Twilio turns the world's communications infrastructure into APIs developers can call: voice, SMS, video, and email built into any application. Founded in 2008, it powers customer engagement for companies including Deliveroo, Duolingo, and Toyota. It works remote-first, with global offices kept as an option rather than the default.

Twilio's Remote Policy

Twilio calls its remote-work model "Open Work" and defines it as "our programs, policies, and resources that help ensure every Twilion can make an impact on our business, feel connected, and embrace flexibility" regardless of location. The company says it committed to becoming remote-first in 2022 and that "almost all Twilions are remote employees." Its careers page adds that "in most roles, you're free to work wherever you feel you can do your best. Whether that's at home, a coworking space, or one of our global offices."

Why Twilio

Twilio began by simplifying the global telecommunications network and bringing communications to the cloud. Its customer engagement platform combines communications and data across sales, marketing, growth, customer service, and security.

Day-to-day work includes named practices around focus and documentation. Focus Fridays are set aside for meaningful work with few to no meetings. Under Twilio Magic’s “we are builders” principle, employees are asked to write down their goals, decision criteria, plans of action, and lessons learned.
