This role sits at the intersection of big data, deep investigations, and complex systems, working to improve Facebook & Instagram community experiences.

The position offers an opportunity to work on some of Meta's most critical challenges, from child safety to scams and account takeover prevention. The role involves building and improving scaled abuse detection systems that impact billions of users across Meta's products. You'll be conducting technical investigations, data analysis, and applying machine learning while thinking like an adversary to build robust detection and remediation systems.

The ideal candidate will bring a strong quantitative background combined with extensive experience in dealing with online adversaries. You'll need to be comfortable working with large datasets, complex products, and detection systems, while making data-driven decisions. The role requires someone who is curious, action-oriented, and skilled at pattern recognition amid chaos.

Working from Meta's London office, you'll collaborate with software engineering, data science, and operations teams to enforce Facebook's community standards at scale. This position offers the chance to make a real impact on user safety while working with cutting-edge technology and some of the world's largest datasets. You'll be part of a team that's essential to maintaining the integrity of Meta's platforms and protecting their billions of users.

The role combines technical expertise with strategic thinking, requiring both hands-on coding skills and the ability to guide teams' overall direction in combating platform abuse. It's an excellent opportunity for someone passionate about using technology to solve complex social and security challenges at a global scale.

Explain stacks and queues with code examples.

Data Structures & AlgorithmsMedium

Describe the difference between a stack and a queue. Provide an example of when you might use each data structure. Write functions to implement the push and pop methods for a stack and the enqueue and dequeue methods for a queue. Explain the time complexity of each of these operations. Additionally, discuss a scenario where you might need to implement a stack using a queue or a queue using a stack.

Design a system to identify trending topics on Twitter in real-time. Consider scalability, storage, and network requirements.

System DesignHard

Design a System for Real-Time Twitter Trending Topics Let's design a system to identify trending topics on Twitter in real-time. Consider the following: Data Ingestion: How would you ingest the massive stream of tweets from Twitter? Processing: How would you process the tweets to extract relevant information (e.g., hashtags, keywords)? Trending Detection: How would you identify trending topics based on the processed data? What algorithms or techniques would you use? Scalability: How would you design the system to handle a large volume of tweets and users? Storage: What storage solutions would you use to store the tweets and trending topics? Consider both short-term and long-term storage. Network Requirements: Estimate the network bandwidth required for data ingestion and processing. Performance Optimization: How would you optimize the system for low latency and high throughput? For example, assume that Twitter generates 500 million tweets per day. Design a system that can identify trending topics within a few minutes, considering the computational resources, storage, and network bandwidth needed.

Describe a time you worked in an ambiguous environment.

Behavioral

Describe a time you had to work in an ambiguous environment. What was the situation, what actions did you take, and what was the result? Be specific and provide details about the ambiguity you faced. For example: Lack of Clear Requirements: Describe a project where the initial requirements were poorly defined or constantly changing. How did you navigate the uncertainty and ensure the project moved forward? Conflicting Information: Share an experience where you received conflicting information from different stakeholders. How did you reconcile these discrepancies and make informed decisions? Unclear Goals: Tell me about a time when the overall goals of a project or task were not well-defined. How did you work to clarify the objectives and achieve a successful outcome? Limited Resources: Describe a situation where you had to work with limited resources (time, budget, personnel). How did you prioritize your efforts and make the most of what you had available? New Technology or Domain: Share an experience where you had to work with a new technology or in a domain where you had limited prior experience. How did you quickly learn and adapt to the unfamiliar environment?
