Job description

Meta is seeking a Machine Learning Engineer to join our integrity engineering team. The ideal candidate will have deep industry experience building and deploying machine learning systems at scale, including model development, training infrastructure, and optimization. You will work on leveraging ML models to detect and enforce content to keep the platforms safe and create a better user experience across Meta's products — from payment fraud detection and click-through rate prediction to search ranking, content enforcement, and spam detection. This role involves applying advanced ML techniques to some of the most exciting and massive-scale prediction problems on the web.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
• Experience leading projects with industry-wide impact
• Experience communicating and working across functions to drive solutions
• Experience in mentoring/influencing engineers across organizations
• Proven track record of planning multi-year roadmap in which short-term projects ladder to the long-term vision
• Experience in driving large cross-functional/industry-wide engineering efforts
• 12+ years of experience in programming languages (Python, C++, or Java) with technical background
• 8+ years of experience in one or more of the following areas: machine learning, recommendation systems, pattern recognition, data mining or deep learning based methods
• Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
• Experience with deep learning frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow) and ML infrastructure tools
• Familiarity with MLOps practices, model monitoring, and production ML systems
• Experience building and optimizing large-scale model training pipelines
• Experience shipping ML-powered products to millions of users or launching new ML product lines
• Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
• Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
• Publications or contributions to the ML research community
