For all of the snark that is coming from other commenters, I'm excited to see more engineering talent being pulled to more diverse locations than "the Bay Area" and the rest of the US. Technology and Engineering is not limited to one or two countries, and having a presence in a place the is missing opportunity seems like a win.

Admittedly, Twitter is not my first choice of employer, but it could've been worse. Could've been Facebook.

HN has always felt rather US-centric and IMO it really reflects in the response that this type of news gets.

For Twitter, increasing its international presence and talent pool is a big win. The community stands to benefit in the opportunities the tech giant can provide.

Totally agree with this. I think it will help develop the capital and talent to accelerate more new tech startups in Africa. Developers with more money and more experience with large projects will mean that some of them will go on to start their own companies, sometimes as competing companies, that will focus on local needs and culture.

As am I. The product is already available on the continent. It'll be great to have locals providing input on shaping it for the local environment and giving their perspective. Plus, hopefully high paying jobs!

I can’t find any engineering job postings on their careers site with the location “Ghana Remote.” Hopefully those roles are coming soon.
