Micro-blogging wonder Twitter looks set to improve on a hugely successful 2009, after a series of job vacancies posted on the site called for new technical staff to work on ‘cutting edge monetization projects.’
A total of 27 vacancies have been listed, ranging from engineers to a product marketing manager who can enhance business users’ understanding of the value of Twitter.

Twitter, now valued to be worth a staggering $1 billion, received a massive $100 million injection last year from investors, and the newly acquired financial backers are likely to want to see a return on their investment.
Biz Stone appeared to get the ball rolling in November of last year when he confirmed plans to offer paid-for commercial accounts, signalling that the service was evolving into something other than an office worker’s favourite way of killing time.
Prospective employees are said to be given "direct input into the business decisions of the company," which appears to support Stone’s new strategy to make Twitter a more lucrative enterprise.
Twitterers will be happy to hear that the company is looking to address the issue of site security after a series of high-profile breaches struck the site last year. Positions for hire are a network and infrastructure security manager and an anti-spam detection software engineer.
Those who fancy spending an entire guilt-free day in front of Twitter, we suggest fine-tuning those CVs now.
