According to a job advertisement first spotted by The Guardian, Twitter is looking for a software engineer to fit in to its product security division.

One of the responsibilities for the new engineer will be to "design and develop user-facing security features, such as multi-factor authentication and fraudulent log-in detection". The job listing also says that the new engineer's work will "directly impact the security of hundreds of millions of Twitter users".
