Production Engineers (PEs) at Meta are specialized software engineers who develop the underlying infrastructure for all of Meta's products and services, forming the backbone of every major engineering effort that keeps our platforms running smoothly and scaling efficiently.PEs work across Meta's product and infrastructure teams to ensure our services are reliable, performant, and capable of supporting billions of users. This means writing high‑quality code, solving complex problems in live production, and tackling challenges that impact over 2 billion people worldwide.Our PEs are embedded in teams across the spectrum — from products like Instagram, WhatsApp, Oculus, and Videos to critical backend services such as Storage, Cache, and Networking. The team brings together diverse levels of experience and backgrounds. Working alongside some of the best engineers in the industry, you'll contribute to code and systems that go into production and are used by millions every day. In Production Engineering at Meta, we navigate uncharted waters daily — solving problems at a scale few others face.
