Overview

As a Data Engineer at Meta, you will shape the future of people-facing and business-facing products we build across our entire family of applications (Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, Reality Labs, Threads). Your technical skills and analytical mindset will be utilized designing and building some of the world's most extensive data sets, helping to craft experiences for billions of people and hundreds of millions of businesses worldwide. In this role, you will collaborate with software engineering, data science, and product management teams to design/build scalable data solutions across Meta to optimize growth, strategy, and user experience for our 3 billion plus users, as well as our internal employee community. You will be at the forefront of identifying and solving some of the most interesting data challenges at a scale few companies can match. By joining Meta, you will become part of a world-class data engineering community dedicated to skill development and career growth in data engineering and beyond.

Data Engineering: You will guide teams by building optimal data artifacts (including datasets and visualizations) to address key questions. You will refine our systems, design logging solutions, and create scalable data models. Ensuring data security and quality, and with a focus on efficiency, you will suggest architecture and development approaches and data management standards to address complex analytical problems.

Product leadership: You will use data to shape product development, identify new opportunities, and tackle upcoming challenges. You'll ensure our products add value for users and businesses, by prioritizing projects, and driving innovative solutions to respond to challenges or opportunities.

4. Define and manage Service Level Agreements for all data sets in allocated areas of ownership

5. Determine and implement the security model based on privacy requirements, confirm safeguards are followed, address data quality issues, and evolve governance processes within allocated areas of ownership

6. Design, build, and launch collections of sophisticated data models and visualizations that support multiple use cases across different products or domains

7. Solve our most challenging data integration problems, utilizing optimal Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) patterns, frameworks, query techniques, sourcing from structured and unstructured data sources

8. Assist in owning existing processes running in production, optimizing complex code through advanced algorithmic concepts

9. Optimize pipelines, dashboards, frameworks, and systems to facilitate easier development of data artifacts
