The Meta Security team is responsible for preventing and detecting unauthorized access to Meta’s data and systems.
Our work spans Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Oculus, and all of the underlying systems and infrastructure that power these products behind the scenes.
Due to the scale and complexity of our environment, we develop our own bespoke security tools and systems, of which many are comparable with leading commercial security products, and others solve problems unique to Meta.
We are seeking software engineers with a passion for and/or experience in security, to help build systems.
Our software engineers build solutions ranging from the EDR agents which monitor millions of production hosts, through to application frameworks which allow Meta to develop secure-by-default products.
Join us, and help keep our billions of users safe!
