Elon Musk has assured that he will give priority on Twitter to posts related to Systems engineering, application design, cybersecurity and servers.
The tycoon, who acquired the company on April 25 for $ 44 billion, used the platform to say what kind of positions he would seek, without ruling out possible cuts to the current plant.
About engineering in systems, it makes sense considering that Twitter handles a large number of users (330 million) and the infrastructure is critical. Ang design This is another question that interested him, and it has to do with some changes that the application has had aesthetically in recent years, not without controversy. Many users rejected them.

Finally, servers are essential to handle the huge traffic that Twitter has, which, many times, usually with a waterfall.
The scenario of working on Twitter is uncertain. Few of the current employees have expressed concern about the decisions Elon Musk might make.
That is, it’s still unclear how a Musk-led Twitter will affect the company’s ability to retain current staff and recruit new employees. In fact, the company presented the acquisition as a potential threat to its staff capacity in an SEC filing on Monday.
But at least casual interest in open positions in the company has risen since the Tesla billionaire showed serious interest in acquiring the company.
“On Thursday, Daniel Zhao, a senior economist and data scientist at job information platform Glassdoor, tweeted interest in job openings on the social media giant rose 263% between April 24 and 30, “Fortune magazine wrote in a note quoted by Musk in his tweet.
“In a statement to Fortune, Zhao clarified that interest is determined by the average daily clicks on Twitter job postings on the platform, compared to the average daily clicks. clicked on work in March 2022 before the news. of Musk’s plans for the company”, They added.
