Description For Production Engineering

Meta is seeking a Production Engineer to join their Infrastructure team, combining software engineering and systems operations expertise. Production Engineers at Meta are crucial hybrid engineers who ensure Meta's services run smoothly and can scale for future growth. They are embedded across Meta's product and infrastructure teams, working on some of the world's largest and most complex systems.

The role involves managing backend services for fleet management, frontend services for major Meta products (WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook), and infrastructure components supporting Meta's AI initiatives. You'll be writing and reviewing code, creating documentation, developing capacity plans, and debugging critical issues in live production environments that serve billions of users globally.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a strong technical background who wants to work at scale. The team comprises diverse experience levels, from new graduates to industry veterans. While relevant experience in Software Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), or DevOps is valuable, Meta emphasizes demonstrated abilities and attitude over specific background.

The position offers competitive compensation ($117,000-$173,000/year) plus bonus and equity, along with comprehensive benefits. You'll be working alongside top engineers in the industry, with your code directly impacting billions of users worldwide. The role requires participation in on-call rotations and incident response, making it perfect for those who thrive in dynamic, high-stakes environments.

Meta's commitment to building connecting technologies and their work on future platforms like AR/VR makes this an exciting opportunity to shape the future of social technology while solving complex technical challenges at unprecedented scale.
