Software Engineer, Machine Learning

Meta Meta · Big Tech · Menlo Park, CA

Software Engineer, Machine Learning at Meta focused on developing and testing operating systems-level software, compilers, and network distribution software for massive social data and prediction problems. The role involves applying deep learning, data regression, and rules-based models to classification and optimization tasks such as fraud detection, ad ranking, recommendation systems, and spam detection, with a focus on building highly scalable and efficient systems.

What you'd actually do

  1. Research, design, develop, and test operating systems-level software, compilers, and network distribution software for massive social data and prediction problems.
  2. Have industry experience working on a range of classification and optimization problems, e.g. payment fraud, click-through or conversion rate prediction, click-fraud detection, ads/feed/search ranking, text/sentiment classification, collaborative filtering/recommendation, or spam detection.
  3. Working on problems of moderate scope, develop highly scalable systems, algorithms and tools leveraging deep learning, data regression, and rules based models.
  4. Suggest, collect, analyze and synthesize requirements and bottleneck in technology, systems, and tools.
  5. Develop solutions that iterate orders of magnitude with a higher efficiency, efficiently leverage orders of magnitude and more data, and explore state-of-the-art deep learning techniques.
  6. Receiving general instruction from supervisor, code deliverables in tandem with the engineering team.
  7. Adapt standard machine learning methods to best exploit modern parallel environments (e.g. distributed clusters, multicore SMP, and GPU).
