Description For Security Engineer (Builder)

Meta, a global leader in social technology and immersive experiences, is seeking a Security Engineer (Builder) to join their security organization. This role represents a unique opportunity to combine security expertise with extensive coding work, focusing on building scalable solutions to complex security challenges.

The position requires an experienced professional with 5+ years of experience in both security and software development, particularly in languages like Python, PHP, Java, Ruby, Go, or Rust. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in securing enterprise-scale software and services, with the ability to architect and implement solutions that address security problems at scale.

As a Security Engineer at Meta, you'll be part of a team that approaches security as an engineering problem, focusing on creating automated, scalable solutions rather than just identifying vulnerabilities. You'll work on eliminating entire classes of security problems through innovative engineering approaches and shift security considerations earlier into the development process.

The role offers a competitive compensation package ranging from $147,000 to $208,000 per year, plus bonus and equity opportunities. Meta provides comprehensive benefits and supports a remote work environment, making this an attractive opportunity for security professionals who want to make a significant impact at scale.

Key responsibilities include architecting scalable security solutions, building proof of concepts and tools, leading engineering teams, and partnering with cross-functional teams to ensure security maturity. 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.
