Network Engineer, Foundation Services Automation

Meta Meta · Big Tech · Denver, CO +2

This role focuses on automating network operations for Meta's large-scale network infrastructure, which supports AI/ML applications. The engineer will integrate detection, triaging, and repair into network pipelines, improve efficiency through automation, and develop automated methods for network events. While the role leverages AI-assisted tools for development and workflow optimization, its core craft is network engineering and automation, not building AI models themselves.

What you'd actually do

  1. Automation and integration into existing pipelines, alerting, triage and repair for IP, Ethernet, and non-Ethernet networks
  2. Improve efficiency through automation and processes improvements
  3. Collaborate with internal and cross functional partner teams to define and automate optimal workflows for network deployment and repair
  4. Proactively find gaps that impact multiple teams/orgs, come up with the execution plan and drive the project and influence other teams to reach there
  5. Develop automated methods to detect, mitigate and remediate network events
