Twitter Inc has posted a job listing for web engineers to build a new subscription-based platform, sending its shares surging on Wednesday. The selected web engineers will join a team, codenamed "Gryphon," and work closely with Twitter's payments and the Twitter.com teams, according to the listing. Twitter said this subscription platform would be "a first" for the company and might be reused by other teams in the future. The company briefly edited the job listing to remove references to "Gryphon" and the "subscription platform". Twitter declined to comment on the reason behind the temporary changes.
