Requirements

6+ years of experience in security engineering, including hands-on work in penetration testing, vulnerability research, or security assessments of web, mobile, or backend systems
Experience performing threat modeling and security architecture reviews for large-scale software systems
Experience identifying systemic security risks and driving cross-functional remediation efforts that result in scalable, durable improvements
Experience developing or improving security tooling, automation, or detection capabilities to support team-level security operations
Experience communicating security findings and risk assessments in writing to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Nice to Haves

Experience with security automation, static or dynamic analysis tooling, or building internal security platforms
Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
Familiarity with security considerations specific to large-scale distributed systems, mobile platforms (iOS or Android), or cloud infrastructure
Experience with offensive security techniques including exploit development, binary analysis, or red team operations
Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
Proficiency in one or more programming or scripting languages (e.g., Python, C/C++, Java) used to develop security tools or analyze vulnerabilities
Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)

Conduct security assessments, penetration testing, and vulnerability research across Meta's web, mobile, and backend systems to identify and remediate security risks
Perform threat modeling and security architecture reviews for new and existing products and infrastructure
Identify systemic security gaps and drive cross-functional mitigations that scale beyond individual findings
