Software Engineer, Machine Learning

Meta Platforms, Inc. (Meta), formerly known as Facebook Inc., builds technologies that help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses. When Facebook launched in 2004, it changed the way people connect. Apps and services like Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp further empowered billions around the world. Now, Meta is moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology.

• Research, design, develop, and test operating systems-level software, compilers, and network distribution software for massive social data and prediction problems.
• Working on problems of moderate scope, develop highly scalable systems, algorithms and tools leveraging deep learning, data regression, and rules based models.
• Suggest, collect, analyze and synthesize requirements and bottleneck in technology, systems, and tools.
• Develop solutions that iterate orders of magnitude with a higher efficiency, efficiently leverage orders of magnitude and more data, and explore state-of-the-art deep learning techniques.
• Adapt standard machine learning methods to best exploit modern parallel environments (eg distributed clusters, multicore SMP, and GPU).
• Develop and implement advanced machine learning models for our recommendation system, enhancing user experience by delivering personalized advertisement.
• Conduct rigorous data analysis and apply statistical techniques to understand user behavior and model performance.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (engineering, product management, design) to integrate ML models into our product and optimize their performance.

Minimum Qualifications

• Requires a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Software, Computer Engineering, Applied Sciences, Mathematics, Physics, or a related field
• Requires completion of a university-level course, research project, internship, or thesis in the following:
• Machine Learning Framework(s): PyTorch, MXNet, or Tensorflow
• Machine learning, recommendation systems, computer vision, natural language processing, data mining, or distributed systems
• Translating insights into business recommendations
• Developing and debugging in C, C++, and Java
• Scripting languages: Perl, Python, PHP, or shell scripts
• C, C++, C#, or Java
• Python, PHP, or Haskell
• Software development tools: Code editors (VIM or Emacs), and revision control systems (Subversion, GIT, or Perforce)
• Linux, UNIX, or other *nix-like OS including file manipulation and simple commands
• Distributed systems including sharding, consistency, and availability
• Data structures and algorithms
• Researching skills to find, define, and solve Machine Learning and engineering problems
• Mathematical foundations of Calculus, Statistics, and Linear Algebra
• Ability to design experiments and evaluate model performance
• Data science skills including processing sampling, sketching, and distributed processing of large scale databases, graphs, and data streams for purposes of scalable statistical description, querying, pattern mining, and learning
• Programming methodologies (functional and object-oriented) and Design Patterns (Builders, Fluent API, Publish/Subscribe, State, Memento, Promise)
• Design test cases to detect errors in code by applying systematic criteria and write code predicates to validate the inputs and outputs of a potential solution to a program problem
