Meta is seeking a forward-thinking engineer with technical expertise in network deployment and operations, specifically in Layer 2 and Layer 3 switched and routed networks. In this role, you will lead initiatives focused on process optimization, automation, and data-driven decision-making to enhance the resilience and scalability of our network infrastructure. You'll tackle complex operational and reliability challenges, implementing both technical and procedural solutions with global impact. The ideal candidate thrives in fast-paced operational environments, excels at solving large-scale infrastructure problems, and is passionate about driving innovation through automation and system optimization.
Network Engineer, Operations and Support (Labs) Responsibilities
Incident Response: Drive work investigating complex technical and process issues on a global scale spanning multiple reliability, security, and continuity disciplines for infrastructure spanning thousands of locations during major incidents/site events on edge, caching, and network infrastructure.
