Summary:
Meta's datacenter capacity is expanding to accommodate the increasing demand for our services. This growth presents a significant scaling challenge that our engineers address on an ongoing basis. To meet this challenge, we must not only develop and enhance the physical infrastructure connecting numerous servers but also ensure seamless network operation and adherence to rigorous performance standards.The introduction of our proprietary switching software (FBOSS) and networking products (Wedge and Six-pack) has opened up new avenues for innovation in traditional networking. By leveraging these technologies, we can rapidly iterate and explore novel solutions in an area previously characterized by limited innovation opportunities.Meta's datacenter network engineering team is seeking individuals who are passionate about tackling complex challenges and driving innovation at a rapid pace. Data center networking at Meta encompasses a diverse range of disciplines, spanning all layers from physical infrastructure (fiber and optics) to distributed routing protocols like BGP, and culminating in our proprietary software stack that powers our network devices.We are looking for a network engineer with software engineering skills who design, build, and operate our worldwide Data Center network. You must have experience in network infrastructure and fiber connectivity solutions, including the design and deployment of data center infrastructure and optical technologies.
Required Skills:
Network Production Engineer, Datacentre Network Responsibilities:
Architect, design, engineer and implement scalable physical and logical datacenter infrastructure solutions.
Research, develop & deploy numerous technologies and network topologies in order to evolve and scale our data centers.
