The Network Infrastructure team is responsible for designing, building, and operating one of the largest networks in the world. Networking is at the core of all Meta products and experiences, and we are looking for Network Production Engineers who are interested in solving complex technical challenges in the Backbone, Datacenter, and AI Network domains. The scale of the network and its continuous expansion presents an opportunity to work on and solve interesting engineering challenges in the datacenter network domain. We constantly push the boundaries of what is possible. We create new and innovative ways of designing and operating our global datacenter networks and do it at scale with efficiency. We imagine what our tomorrow is going to be and make it a reality. Network Production Engineers at Meta are hybrid software and network engineers who design, build, and operate our worldwide network. This team owns the complete lifecycle of the network, which includes areas of planning, design, product definition, QA, deployment, and monitoring. Simple, elegant, and scalable network design, automation, and data analytics are the keys to meeting our demands. In this role, you will be part of a team that is responsible for conceiving design solutions, developing and deploying network software, systems, and tools that keep the network operating at maximum reliability, scalability, and efficiency. This role offers an opportunity to solve the scaling challenges of supporting billions of people using our family of apps; to cutting-edge challenges in AI workloads that power new Meta products.
