Engineering Management (1)

At Cross-Meta Security (X-Sec) our mission is to protect the company, our community, and its data while empowering safe innovation. Within X-Sec, the Detect & Respond (XDR) pillar aims to minimize the harm caused by unauthorized access or inappropriate usage of Meta’s systems and data. To do so, we build platforms and services to help us detect, investigate, contain and recover from Security Incidents as early as possible. We focus on both external cyber threats and internal abuse. Surface Coverage (SC) is one of four sub-pillars within XDR, and our vision is to detect 100% of known critical threats across Meta’s business - critical surfaces. SC Software engineering team’s mission is to develop advanced Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents & response tooling that provides telemetry, prevention, detection, and response capabilities across systems in varied environments. We focus on efficient, scalable and innovative solutions that enable us to effectively monitor system activity, swiftly process alerts, remediate security incidents, and mitigate potential threats. We are seeking an engineering leader with experience supporting a team of engineers responsible for building and maintaining critical security infrastructure for the next phase of growth and innovation at Meta. This is a unique opportunity to develop industry-leading security tooling at the scale and speed of one of the largest infrastructure deployments in the world. We work across all parts of the company, from corporate infrastructure to production to external services, interfacing with nearly every organization in the company.
