As a former CSC member, it's amazing to see how it has grown in the past 20
years. I am a hiring manager at Twitter in San Francisco.
We are looking for Site Reliability Engineers. We have a general job
posting which can be found here:

Though we love industry veterans, we do have some junior positions
available for new grads and those that have been out of school for a few
years.

Job Description: We are looking for a programmer interested in working
part-time on web-based data visualization software. The position will
involve working with existing open-source javascript and jquery
plugins that facilitate the organization of video games research. You
will need to become familiar enough with these plugins to create a
single web-based implementation before moving on to the next plug-in.
Knowledge in javascript and jquery, as well as an interest in data
visualization and pattern recognition, is an asset.
About The Project: The Pattern Recognition And Games project
(PRAGmatic) utilizes open-source, web-based data visualization tools
to facilitate the study of video games. We have no preferred method of
visualization. Instead, our content is the distribution of new tools
to increase the level of interaction scholars have with the available
data. The aim of PRAGmatic is to expose under-explored areas within
games studies and foster the recognition of emergent trends in
scholarship.
If you are interested in this position, please contact Lesley Northam
or Steve Wilcox (swilcox(a)uwaterloo.ca).
