Software Engineer (Technical Leadership)

Requirements

  • 12+ years of experience with building large-scale applications, or similar experience
  • 12+ years of programming experience
  • 8+ years of experience with web or mobile technologies
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
  • Experience communicating and working across functions to drive solutions
  • Experience in driving large cross-functional/industry-wide engineering efforts
  • Experience in mentoring/influencing engineers across organizations
  • Experience leading projects with industry-wide impact
  • Proven track record of planning multi-year roadmap in which shorter-term projects ladder to the long-term vision

Nice to Haves

  • Track record of identifying and delivering step-change improvements to product systems through architectural rethinking or ground-up rebuilds
  • Experience working on adversarial problems where bad actors actively adapt to countermeasures
  • Experience partnering with legal, policy, or compliance teams to design technical solutions that address privacy, security, or integrity requirements at scale
  • Demonstrated ability to integrate AI-assisted development practices and agent-based workflows to drive measurable engineering productivity improvements
  • Experience building detection, classification, or enforcement systems for abuse, fraud, or safety harms at consumer scale
  • Experience defining and operationalizing reliability, performance, or quality frameworks adopted at an organizational or company-wide scale
  • Experience in trust and safety, risk, fraud, security, or regulated-domain engineering

Responsibilities

  • Own the multi-year technical strategy for account and entity compromise across the Family of Apps - negotiating the approach with executive leadership, developing the execution plan with partner orgs, and sequencing the bets that reduce real-world harm fastest
  • Protect Meta's user accounts, assets and the people behind them from adversaries who gain unauthorized access, and from the downstream harm that follows - scams, financial loss, impersonation, and abuse of trusted accounts
  • Own the full integrity lifecycle for account access: authentication and recovery integrity, detection of compromise signals, enforcement and remediation, and the measurement systems that tell us whether we are actually reducing harm
  • Establish technical direction in our most highly pressured and ambiguous areas, where adversaries are motivated, organized, and constantly adapting - sustaining strategy, measurement discipline, and speed of iteration against an active opponent
  • Bring integrity requirements into new products and account models, including newly launched apps such as Muse - so they are secure and integrity-ready from day one rather than retrofitted after harm appears
  • Define how we measure harm: compromise rates, harm prevented, recovery success, and false-positive cost to good users, setting the metrics the org is held to
  • Partner and effectively communicate with teams across Meta to navigate complex technical trade-offs between user protection, product friction, and business outcomes
  • Identify and execute on opportunities to help the company move faster through centralization of tooling and systems across legacy identity systems and new account models
  • Adapt to changing priorities by reassessing plans, communicating trade-offs, and iterating on solutions as requirements evolve
