Cloud Production Platform Engineer

Meta, Huntsville, Alabama +9

The role

Meta is seeking a experienced hardware engineering professional with technical leadership experience and skills in Server Hardware, high performance Compute, Storage, Accelerators (GPU), and/or Networking, ideally in a data center environment. Our data centers, the global fleet of servers installed in them, and the growing cloud capacity Meta operates alongside them are the foundation upon which our rapidly scaling infrastructure efficiently operates and on which our innovative services are delivered.

Our Production Platform Engineers are responsible for the performance of the compute, storage, and accelerator (GPU) platforms that run Meta's production workloads, both in our own data centers and on capacity Meta consumes from cloud providers. They are responsible for the health of the server fleet, from NPI production operational test through end of life. Responsibilities include identifying systemic hardware, firmware, and tooling issues; engaging in hands on problem solving; and collaborating effectively with engineering, tooling, and onsite provisioning and break fix teams to improve performance of the fleet.
