Job Description

Meta is seeking talented engineers to join our teams in building cutting-edge products that connect billions of people around the world. As an AI Native SWE, you will work on complex technical problems, build new AI-powered and generative AI features, and improve existing products across all platforms. Our teams are pushing the boundaries of user experience through LLMs, conversational and multi-modal AI, context-aware systems, and AI-powered automation—and we’re looking for engineers who bring an AI-first mindset, move fast through rapid iteration and experimentation, and raise the bar on quality and reliability for AI-driven experiences.

Responsibilities
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (product, design, operations, infrastructure) to build innovative AI-native application experiences
* Build and integrate LLM / generative AI capabilities into product surfaces (mobile, web), including prompt engineering, structured prompting, and context management
* Develop and maintain reusable software components for interfacing with back-end platforms, model serving/inference layers, and AI toolchains
* Implement retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) patterns (e.g., embeddings + retrieval) and contribute to context-aware and personalized user experiences
* Design/Contribute to agentic workflows and leverage AI tools and agents (including human-in-the-loop / expert-in-the-loop designs) to automate tasks and scale impact
* Analyze, debug, and optimize code and systems for quality, efficiency, performance, reliability, and cost
* Establish effective quality practices for AI features, including evaluation/QA for AI outputs, monitoring, and iterative improvement via feedback loops
* Architect efficient and scalable systems that power complex applications and AI-enabled features, identify and resolve performance and scalability issues
* Drive end-to-end execution of medium-to-large features with increasing independence, contribute to technical direction within the team
