As a Data Engineer at Meta, you will shape the future of people-facing and business-facing products we build across our entire family of applications (Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, Reality Labs, Threads). Your technical skills and analytical mindset will be utilized designing and building some of the world's most extensive data sets, helping to craft experiences for billions of people and hundreds of millions of businesses worldwide. Teen & Family Experience is a shared, cross-functional team within Meta's Central Youth org, sitting under the Teen and Family Experiences pillar. Its mission is to equip teens to have safe and supportive experiences across Meta technologies, and to provide centralized services and support so app partners across the Family of Apps can efficiently ship youth-experience improvements and meet youth compliance obligations. You will be at the forefront of identifying and solving some of the most interesting data challenges at a scale few companies can match. By joining Meta, you will become part of a world-class data engineering community dedicated to skill development and career growth in data engineering and beyond. Data Engineering: You will guide teams by building optimal data artifacts (including datasets and visualizations) to address key questions. You will refine our systems, design logging solutions, and create scalable data models. Ensuring data security and quality, and with a strong focus on efficiency, you will suggest architecture and development approaches and data management standards to address complex analytical problems. Product leadership: You will use data to shape product development, identify new opportunities, and tackle upcoming challenges. You'll ensure our products add value for users and businesses, by prioritizing projects, and driving innovative solutions to respond to challenges or opportunities. Communication and influence: You won't simply present data, but tell data-driven stories. You will convince and influence your partners using clear insights and recommendations. You will build credibility through structure and clarity, and be a trusted strategic partner.
Responsibilities
Scope significantly expands the parental-controls and teen-experience surface needing measurement.
• The expanded surface is concrete and teen-facing: productive pauses, the non-personalized feed option, nighttime mode, and school mode.;.
• Measurement for a large slate of parental-controls and teen-experience features, both new and newly enhanced.;.
• Accountable end to end for each metric: logging, staging data, aggregate datasets, the pipeline work behind them, and the dashboards that surface the result.;.
• The split of that work varies by metric.
• On some, Instagram or Facebook handle the logging and staging and this person builds the metrics and dashboards; on others this person does the logging and hands off.
• Deciding who takes which piece - based on availability, technical skills across teams, and domain knowledge - is part of the role.
Minimum Qualifications
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
• 4+ years of experience where the primary responsibility involves working with data. This could include roles such as data analyst, data scientist, data engineer, or similar positions
• 4+ years of experience with SQL, ETL, data modeling, and at least one programming language (e.g., Python, C++, C#, Scala, etc.)
Preferred Qualifications
• Master's or Ph.D degree in a STEM field
• Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
• Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
• Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
