Security Engineer, Infrastructure

The Meta Security team is responsible for improving the security posture of the software and services used throughout our company. Our work spans Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Oculus, and all of the underlying systems and infrastructure that power these products behind the scenes.

Due to the scale and complexity of our environment, we develop our own bespoke security tools and systems. We strive to go beyond just identifying security vulnerabilities and flaws by helping teams fix issues before they are live in production and automatically preventing security problems during the development process.

We are seeking a passionate and experienced security engineer to help us build systems which grow the security maturity of the software and services underpinning everything Meta makes today and in the future.
