PEs work within Meta's product and infrastructure teams to make sure our products and services are reliable and scalable.

Our PEs are embedded in teams that work on products like Instagram, WhatsApp, Oculus and Videos to backend services like Storage, Cache and Network. Our team is comprised of varying levels of experience and backgrounds. Relevant industry experience is important, but ultimately less so than your demonstrated abilities and attitude. Partnered alongside the best engineers in the industry on the coolest stuff around, the code and systems you work on will be in production and used by millions of users all around the world.
