Description For Network Production Engineer, Edge Networks

Meta's Edge Network Engineering team is seeking a Network Production Engineer to join their team responsible for designing and maintaining the global IP backbone that connects Meta's worldwide Internet user community. This role combines software and network engineering skills to ensure smooth network operations while planning for future growth.

As a Network Production Engineer, you'll be designing network topologies, selecting technologies and protocols, working with vendors on feature development, and choosing network products that align with Meta's needs. You'll be responsible for the network infrastructure within Points of Presence (POPs), including peering network infrastructure and IP aggregation platforms.

The role requires expertise in both network engineering and software development, with a focus on data analysis and automation to handle Meta's growing scale.

This position offers the opportunity to work at the cutting edge of network engineering at one of the world's largest tech companies, dealing with challenges at massive scale. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in network engineering, architecture, and coding, with knowledge of protocols like BGP, OSPF, and MPLS.
