Meta Platforms, Inc. (Meta) is looking to solve computer software and computer hardware problems by performing research and developing solutions. They aim to improve the efficiency and performance of their platforms through new optimization algorithms and techniques, and to design and implement large-scale distributed software systems for complex requests. Additionally, they need to create tools for data migration and build algorithms using machine learning and data techniques.
Requirements
- Algorithms, data structures, or systems software
- Solving analytical problems using quantitative approaches
- Gathering, manipulating, or analyzing complex, high-volume, high-dimensionality data from varying sources
- Research in topics closely related to machine learning, NLP, recommendation systems, pattern recognition, signal processing, data mining, artificial intelligence, information retrieval, or computer vision
- Devising better data-driven models of human behavior
- Java, C++, Perl, PHP, or Python
Responsibilities
- Perform research and develop solutions to computer software and computer hardware problems.
- Research, design, and develop new optimization algorithms and techniques to improve the efficiency and performance of Meta’s platforms.
- Design and implement large-scale distributed software systems to serve large numbers of complex requests simultaneously and without failure.
- Utilize technical research background, train new ranking models, and run experiments.
- Create tools for migrating large bodies of user data across systems for new products, scalability efforts, and development of new core infrastructure.
- Use machine learning, statistics, or other data techniques to build algorithms.
- Analyze and resolve computer challenges from a system engineering standpoint.
Other
- Master’s degree (or foreign degree equivalent) in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, Analytics, Mathematics, Physics, Applied Sciences, or a related field
- Communicating complex research in a clear, precise, and actionable manner
- Suggest, collect, and synthesize system requirements from stakeholders and create effective feature roadmaps.
- Work on problems of diverse scope where analysis of data requires evaluation of identifiable factors.
- Demonstrate good judgment in selecting methods and techniques for obtaining solutions.
