Meta's Edge & Network Service team is actively looking for people to help us tackle the unique set of challenges and opportunities we face, while contributing to our company mission of connecting the world. Our team is the execution arm of the Meta network team and is responsible for the operations and support of all production networks (Edge, Backbone, Optical, and Labs) as well as our Content Delivery Network across the globe. This truly global team offers a unique career opportunity to work with all of the latest network technologies and engineers solving some of the most complex problems in the industry.

Network Engineer, Operations & Support Responsibilities:

  • Incident Response: Drive work investigating complex technical and process issues on a global scale spanning multiple reliability, security, and continuity disciplines for infrastructure spanning thousands of locations during major incidents/site events on edge, caching, and network infrastructure. This will require you to work closely and effectively with a variety of cross functional teams, managed service providers, and third-party vendor partners
  • Escalation Management: Participate in the global team’s Tier 3 and 4 on-call rotation with the goal of routing issues as needed and understanding how processes or tooling might be improved, skills can be developed, or automation can be implemented to prevent the need to escalate similar issues in the future
  • Risk Management and Assurance: Work internally and with upstream partner teams to ensure design, build, and operations aligns to applicable reliability, security, privacy, regulatory policy, and business continuity drivers
  • Information and Data Assurance: ensure relevant operational process, procedure, and policy documentation is effectively managed and the data required to support operations is complete and accurate in systems
  • Automation: Be heavily involved in driving the team to analyze operational events in order to identify new automation opportunities and help us achieve our goal of all faults in the network being fully remediated by software. This will include helping others understand our requirements and drive their roadmaps, but may include directly implementing light weight solutions in code
  • Data Measurement: As an operations practitioner supporting our network, you will be expected to drive quality into the metrics we report to assist us in focusing on the areas that give us the best return on investment. This could include measurement and analysis of our escalation issues, fault/event trends, infrastructure capacity, and vendor performance failures
  • Operational Leadership: As an operations practitioner within the team you will be expected to drive improvement in everything we do. In this role you will indirectly manage the activities of a large contingent workforce responsible for delivering road mapped projects and executing on recurring activities. You will drive standards across the network and ensure that we are fully compliant to those standards and policies

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Vendor Partner Experience: Minimum of 10 years experience partnering to translate performance issues into improvement plans with enterprise and service provider vendors such as network hardware platforms(Cisco, Juniper, Ciena, Infinera, Nokia, and Arista), ITAD vendors, logistics vendors, and colocation vendors
  • Business Metrics: Experience identifying key metrics/measures that will be used to evaluate success and validate the business impact of the program
  • Partnership: Experience successfully collaborating across a global team and with cross-functional partners(e.g. physical infrastructure & network design, engineering, strategy, security, policy, and legal) at all levels to include vendor service delivery managers, individual contributors, and people managers
  • Prioritization: Experience managing from the front to prioritize and drive the bigger mission forward by translating strategy into results
  • Automation: Basic knowledge coding and automating in higher-level languages such as Python, Go, or JavaScript

Preferred Qualifications:
