Lots of companies now post jobs at Twitter, and they only post them once. Aardman recently posted for a job for a character designer at Twitter, got 100 applications, and then quickly took down the tweet. Why? Because 100 applications is plenty to go through.
In other words, you have to be alert, and you have to be fast. Animation jobs don't hang around. Polish your demo reel, make sure your CV is up to date, follow the companies you like at Twitter, and keep an eye on your Twitter feed.
