Summary:

Meta is seeking a software engineer to drive the definition of our next-generation compute and storage platforms. As a key member of the team you'll work closely with internal software and platforms engineering teams to drive architectural analysis of workloads and understand their infrastructure requirements. You will drive technology path-finding, roadmap definition and hw/sw co-design activities to deliver new capabilities and efficient systems for our fleet. Furthermore, you'll work with external industry partners to influence their roadmaps and build the best products for Meta’s Infrastructure. Join our team and help shape one of the largest infrastructure footprints which powers Meta’s applications used by billions of people across the globe.

Required Skills:

Software Engineer (HW/SW Co-Design) Responsibilities:

1. Utilize extensive understanding of hardware architecture - CPUs (x86/ARM), Flash/HDD storage systems, networking, and GPUs - to identify key platform resource bottlenecks. Collaborate closely with software product teams to re-architect services, improve performance through algorithm redesign, and reduce resource consumption.

2. Develop representative benchmarks (in C++/Python/Hack) to capture fleet requirements and drive early evaluation of upcoming platforms. Drive fleet-wide detailed workload architectural analysis and keep ahead of evolving business needs and its impact to compute and storage performance.

3. Identify novel hardware/software co-design opportunities based on industry trends and new paradigms. Conduct technology pathfinding activities to quantify the value proposition for Meta and drive roadmap definition.

4. Partner with Product Engineering and Infrastructure Engineering teams to find the optimal way to deliver the hardware roadmap into production and drive adoption.

5. Influence vendor hardware roadmap and broader ecosystem to align with Meta's requirements.

6. Find opportunities for community contribution through publications in top-tier conferences and open-source projects.
