The Meta security organization is seeking a passionate and experienced Infrastructure Security Engineer to help us grow the maturity of the software and services underpinning everything Meta makes today and in the future. 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 to eliminate entire classes of vulnerabilities. Does the idea of having a meaningful and measurable impact on the security of one of the world's largest infrastructures, which serves billions of people, sound both scary and exciting to you? Well, good news, we need your help!

• Identify and prioritize areas of improvement to the security maturity of our infrastructure


• Improve infrastructure security maturity at scale by directly designing, implementing, and building solutions


• Partner with cross-functional infrastructure teams to ensure security maturity work is being prioritized and addressed


• Eliminate classes of infrastructure security problems by shifting the detection and preventions left into the development workflow


• Provide architectural, design, and threat-based guidance to software development teams to improve the security maturity before code is written

Minimum Qualifications

• 3+ years work experience securing enterprise-scale infrastructure software and services


• 2+ years work experience writing code in Python, PHP, Java, Ruby, Go, Rust, C/C++ (or similar language)


• Experience getting infrastructure security problems fixed using influence and relationships
