This is the first fully agentic XFN workforce at a major technology company. We are seeking a Software Engineer to serve as one of the top technical leaders for ATA XFN - defining the foundational agent architecture, shaping how Meta approaches AI-powered XFN transformation, and ensuring the platform can scale across all disciplines. You will operate at the intersection of technology and organizational strategy. You will define the multi-year technical vision for how AI agents integrate into complex, regulated, human-centric workflows. You will influence company-wide decisions about agent architecture, eval methodology, and the feedback loops that make models better from use. You will navigate extreme ambiguity - building agents for domains (law, finance, policy) where accuracy, compliance, and trust are non-negotiable.
Responsibilities
Define and own the multi-year technical vision and architecture for ATA XFN's agent platform spanning vertical pods, horizontals, and model/data infrastructure.
• Drive the most critical and ambiguous technical decisions, including those with company-wide implications for agent architecture, eval methodology, and XFN AI strategy.
• Serve as the primary technical thought leader for ATA XFN - representing the platform's direction to VPs, senior leadership, and across Meta's engineering community.
• Identify and create new categories of technical leverage - designing agent architectures, eval frameworks, and feedback systems that fundamentally change how Meta builds and deploys XFN agents.
• Architect the transition from "AI assists humans" to "AI works autonomously under human supervision" across regulated, high-stakes domains (Finance SOX compliance, Legal privilege, Policy regulatory sensitivity).
• Partner with MSL, AAI, Enterprise Engineering, and XFN client organizations to ensure ATA XFN agents are built on the best available models, harnesses, and infrastructure.
• Drive engineering excellence and operational rigor across the platform - setting the bar for agent quality, reliability, and safety.
• Attract and develop world-class engineering talent; serve as a role model for technical leadership across ATA XFN.
