Software Engineer - Backend, Standalone Apps Team

We're Meta's Standalone Apps Team – we build new apps to reach new user scenarios and serve needs that aren't well met today. It's still early - a small team working 0→1. If you want high ownership, a short path from idea to ship, and the chance to shape a product from its first version, this is that kind of team. We're looking for a senior backend engineer to build the services behind the product. You'll design and own backend systems that power the app, make them reliable and fast as usage grows, and partner with client and ML engineers on the end-to-end experience.

Design, build, and own backend services and APIs that power the core product. Model data and design systems that stay reliable, fast, and cost-efficient as usage grows. Set technical direction for major backend areas; raise the bar on quality, observability, and operational health. Partner with client, ML, and product to deliver features end to end. Mentor other engineers and improve how the team builds.
