The DC Networking team is responsible for developing, deploying, and operating Meta's global data center networks. Our work covers the entire network lifecycle, including hardware development, capacity planning, distributed and centralized control systems, modeling/provisioning/automation, monitoring/troubleshooting/analytics, and simulation/design/failure analysis. We are actively seeking Software Engineers to help build and scale our rapidly evolving network infrastructure. We are looking for Software Engineers with a passion for networking and aptitude for building scalable distributed systems. Do you want to work on one of the most dynamic, fast-paced networks in the world? Do you want to develop innovative solutions to our challenges and ship them into production? Then a role on one of our network engineering teams is for you!
