Join the team as Twilio’s next Senior Financial Analyst, R&D.

About the job

Twilio is seeking a motivated, curious, and collaborative Senior Financial Analyst to join our R&D Finance team. As Twilio enters the "Unified Platform" era —consolidating SendGrid, Voice, and Messaging into a single unified SDK and Console—and accelerates the rollout of advanced platform features like Agent Connect and Conversation Relay , our R&D Finance organization is evolving its structure to move from tactical execution to elevated strategic partnership.

In this high-impact role, you will serve as the primary autonomous finance partner for our R&D engineering and product teams. The scope of this role is focused exclusively on Cloud infrastructure costs (AWS and hosting spend), which are becoming increasingly complex as Twilio builds in a platform context, with our global hosting infrastructure spend approaching ~$470M annually .
