Meta Platforms, Inc. (Meta) is looking to solve computer software and computer hardware problems by performing research and developing new optimization algorithms and techniques to improve the efficiency and performance of Meta's platforms. They are also looking to design and implement large-scale distributed software systems and create tools for migrating large bodies of user data across systems.
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
- Performing research that enables learning the semantics of data (images, video, text, audio, or other modalities) and advances the technology of intelligent machines
- 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.
