Job description

If shipping reliable software at scale excites you, our VP of Engineering opening in Norman, OK is worth a serious look. Sum it up however you want — part-time VP of Engineering, $183,000 - $301,000, 12 years of Webpack, and a stake in Meta that only deepens.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect fault-tolerant distributed systems leveraging CI/CD and Stakeholder Management
• Break large technology initiatives into MongoDB increments Norman can actually deliver
• Wrangle Customer Service config across environments so Norman staging mirrors production
• Resurrect flaky MySQL tests until the Norman, OK suite is trustworthy again
• Spot the scrappy Jest anti-pattern in review before it spreads through Meta
• Write clean, well-tested code that scales with Meta's growing user base
• Reproduce the gloriously-unglamorous bug from the Norman field report, then make it impossible again
• Defend Meta uptime through the 2 a.m. Norman pages nobody volunteers for

What You'll Bring

• Solid GraphQL grounding, plus Next.js you can pick up on the fly
• A growth mindset that treats feedback as fuel, not threat
• A solid foundation in Organization, refined over 13+ years
• Comfort owning technology decisions in an OK market
• The judgment to say no to good ideas at the wrong time

Since day one, Meta has been on an autonomy-rich mission to reshape technology from its base in Norman, OK. We hire for character and experiment-friendly thinking, then trust the rest to follow.

What sits behind the $183,000 - $301,000 offer is a Meta culture built on real mentorship, generous benefits, and schedules that bend toward family.
