Role summary

Meta is seeking an OS Frameworks Engineer for its Wearables team to develop and ship innovative hardware and software. This role involves creating system-level APIs, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and debugging issues across the stack. The engineer will build on OS internals, set technical direction, and uplift team skills through best practices. Responsibilities include working with product management and application engineers to define requirements and enhance frameworks, participating in design and code reviews. The position requires a Bachelor's degree in a relevant field or equivalent experience, with a minimum of 5 years of software development experience or 2 years with a PhD. Specific experience in Operating Systems, C++, or Java is also required.

Meta is building products that make it easier for people to connect with the ones they love most, enjoy top-notch experiences, and push the future of computing platforms. We are a team of experienced engineers developing and shipping products at the intersection of hardware, software, and content. As an OS Frameworks Engineer at Meta, you can help build new, innovative hardware and software that radically redefine the way people work, play, and connect. What we build today could one day be the norm. So to be here today is to truly be at the heart of change and the frontier of what's to come. We're the people helping to define the future of technology. We may not have all the answers. But together, we're getting closer.
