Production Engineer

About the Role

Production Engineers at Meta are hybrid software/systems engineers who ensure that Meta's services run smoothly and have the capacity for future growth. They are embedded in every one of Facebook's product and infrastructure teams and are core participants in every significant engineering effort underway in the company. Our team members come with varying levels of experience and backgrounds. Relevant industry experience is important (Software Engineer, Site Reliability Engineer (SRE), Systems Engineer, DevOps Engineer, Network Engineer, Database Administrator or similar role), but ultimately less so than your demonstrated abilities and attitude. We sail into uncharted waters every day at Meta in Production Engineering, and we are always learning. This position is full-time.

• Together with your engineering team, share an on-call rotation and be an escalation contact for live service incidents.
• Partner alongside the best engineers in the industry on the coolest projects; the code and systems you work on will be in production and used by billions of users all around the world.

Minimum Qualifications

• 4+ years experience coding in higher-level languages (e.g., PHP, Python, C++, Rust, or Java).
• 4+ years experience building, maintaining, and debugging production services/platforms such as cloud infrastructure, load balancers, relational databases, and messaging systems.
• 4+ years experience with software development, frameworks, and APIs.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience.

Preferred Qualifications
