Responsibilities

• Lead and develop a team of network production engineers working on reliability, scalability, and operational efficiency of Meta's network infrastructure
• Drive roadmap creation and technical strategy for network production engineering, aligning team priorities with broader infrastructure goals
• Contribute hands-on to technical work including reviewing system designs, debugging complex network incidents, and identifying automation opportunities to reduce operational toil
• Partner with network engineering, software infrastructure, and capacity planning teams to ensure smooth execution of cross-functional initiatives
• Proactively identify and resolve issues that impact team velocity, including on-call load, technical debt, and gaps in tooling or automation
• Set clear goals and expectations for team members, provide timely and actionable feedback, and manage performance effectively
• Develop team members through mentorship, targeted project assignments, and active engagement in their career growth
• Collaborate with recruiting to grow the team by sourcing, interviewing, and onboarding network production engineers with the right skills
• Communicate team goals, technical context, and progress clearly to cross-functional partners and leadership
• Foster a team culture of engineering craft, operational excellence, and accountability to compliance and ethical standards

Minimum Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience managing production engineering, site reliability engineering, or network engineering teams
• 2+ years of experience managing a networking-related engineering team, including recruiting, performance management, and team development
• 2+ years of experience software engineering or scripting experience with languages such as Python, Perl, C++, or Go
• 4+ years of experience with networking protocols including TCP/IP, BGP, MPLS, ISIS, and related technologies
• 4+ years of experience with network device configuration and administration across multiple vendors (e.g., Cisco, Juniper)
• Experience with large-scale network infrastructure operations, including incident response, reliability engineering, and capacity management
• Experience identifying and implementing automation to improve operational efficiency and reduce toil in network or infrastructure environments
• Experience driving technical roadmaps and executing engineering strategy in a network or infrastructure domain

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
• Proven experience in designing, developing, and operating distributed systems at scale, with an in-depth understanding of the challenges and opportunities in this space
• Experience of software and network debugging, profiling, and instrumentation techniques to ensure optimal system performance
• Experience designing and maintaining automated testing infrastructure to ensure the quality and reliability of our systems
• Knowledge of IB/RDMA/RoCE networks, including RDMA congestion control mechanisms, AI training workloads and the demands they exert on networks
• 6+ years of experience building software solutions for managing network infrastructure, with a focus on scalability and reliability
• Track record of improving on-call health and engineering efficiency metrics across a production engineering or infrastructure team
• Familiarity with network protocols and distributed systems concepts relevant to large-scale production environments
• Experience with software-defined networking, network automation frameworks, or network observability tooling at scale
• Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
• Experience integrating AI or machine learning tools into engineering workflows to drive measurable efficiency or quality improvements
• Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
