Twitter plans to create a "global centre of excellence" in Vancouver, according to a job posting on its website.

The company is specifically looking for recent computer science graduates.

"We are looking to recruit a handful of new graduates with boundless potential so that we can build a world-competitive software engineering centre around them," reads the job posting.

The information follows an announcement this March that Facebook plans to open a temporary recruitment and training office in Vancouver, to last for one year. According to technology blog Techvibes, Facebook has signed a three-year lease on a 20,000 square foot office space in Coal Harbour, at 1555 West Pender.

Twitter also plans to open an office in Toronto. In April, Twitter announced that former CBC vice-president Kirstine Stewart will head Twitter's Canadian operations.
