Twitter is still hiring for more than 90 roles despite the company laying off half of its workforce on Friday.
Twitter's careers page listed at least 92 open roles on Saturday. More than a third of the positions are based at its headquarters in San Francisco.
Twitter first advertised seven roles, all of which are based in London, on LinkedIn two weeks ago. Six jobs are for software engineers, despite one London-based senior engineer being fired while he slept.
Elon Musk sent a memo to Twitter employees on Thursday telling staff they would find out if they were being laid off via email on Friday. Some employees learned their fate on Thursday night after being cut off from accessing their work emails and laptops.
The Tesla founder took control of Twitter last week after his $44 billion deal to buy the platform was complete. He immediately fired top executives including CEO Parag Agrawal, and Ned Segal, the chief financial officer.
Musk later floated new ideas for the company, including charging users $8 to gain a "verified" status along with seeing fewer ads.
A growing chorus of companies including Pfizer, General Motors, and Volkswagen have since paused ads on Twitter amid concerns over the platform's approach to content moderation.
Musk told some of the leading advertisers on the platform in a call that Twitter will have varying tiers of how it would moderate content, likening it to age ratings for films, The Financial Times reported.
Musk then tweeted Friday that Twitter's "strong commitment" to moderating content remained "absolutely unchanged." He also said in another tweet that he had "no choice" but to make mass layoffs because the company was losing $4 million a day.
He said: "Everyone exited was offered 3 months of severance, which is 50% more than legally required." Some Twitter staff have disputed that claim.
Twitter didn't respond to Insider's request for comment.
