About the Role
At Meta, we build products that integrate privacy into the user experience. We believe that privacy is more than a feature; it's a fundamental right. That's why we're committed to embedding privacy into the very heart of our products. We're on a mission to redefine the way privacy is handled in the digital world, and we're looking for engineers to join the team. In service of this goal, we have multiple high visibility, high impact senior engineering roles available in Privacy, placing you at the heart of some of the company’s most important investments and challenges. You might work on company-wide regulatory responses, supporting product teams across Meta on both technical strategy and execution. Alternatively, you may develop deep expertise in a particular theme of external pressure, shaping the company’s technical direction and developing centralized systems and tooling to enable the business to execute at pace while meeting our obligations. You will drive technical strategy for trajectory-altering problems, negotiate approaches with executive leadership, develop execution plans with partner organizations, and ensure privacy commitments are met while optimizing company efficiency. You will establish technical direction for new Privacy teams working in areas with evolving requirements and significant organizational complexity. Accelerate our ability to meet privacy commitments by developing and applying novel technologies. Partner and communicate effectively with teams across Meta to navigate complex technical trade-offs in privacy decision making. Identify and execute opportunities to help the company move fast through centralization of tooling and systems. Embrace a constantly evolving environment where processes are fluid and creative solutions are operationalized rapidly.
