You'll also provide architectural and threat-based guidance to development teams, helping to improve security practices across the organization.

Meta's mission to build technologies that connect people and communities extends beyond traditional social media into emerging technologies like augmented and virtual reality. As a Security Engineer, you'll be at the forefront of securing these innovative platforms and helping shape the future of digital connection.

This role is perfect for someone who combines deep security knowledge with a passion for coding and building solutions. You'll have the opportunity to work on complex challenges at massive scale, contribute to the security community, and help protect billions of users worldwide while working with cutting-edge technology at one of the world's leading tech companies.
