系统软件工程师

Define and drive the long-term technical vision and architecture for large-scale systems software, including platform services, runtime environments, and low-level infrastructure components

Architect systems-level solutions that address performance, reliability, and scalability requirements across distributed infrastructure serving billions of users

You will work on technically challenging systems at global scale, spanning Linux systems programming, container and virtual machine lifecycle management, resource control, workload isolation, performance, and fleet reliability

The broader platform provides a common foundation for deploying and operating services across Meta’s infrastructure

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience

8+ years of experience in systems software engineering, including design and implementation of operating system interfaces, runtime environments, distributed infrastructure, or low-level platform services

Improve fleet-wide efficiency and reliability of container-based workloads: resource enforcement, noisy-neighbor isolation, and density at millions-of-servers scale

Extend runtime and isolation primitives to support AI training and inference workloads (accelerator isolation, large-memory and high-bandwidth jobs, gang-scheduled work)

Partner with kernel, scheduler, capacity, and hardware teams on hardware-software co-design and multi-generational fleet transitions

Mentor engineers, drive cross team design review, and represent teams container strategy within the Org

Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)

Experience leading large-scale platform migrations or systems modernization efforts in high-availability production environments

Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)

Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies

Experience with operating system internals such as scheduler design, memory subsystems, or kernel-userspace interfaces

Experience with distributed systems consensus protocols such as Raft or Paxos, or building highly available and fault-tolerant infrastructure
