About the Role

We are looking for seasoned engineering leaders to join us in making the world more open and connected. We embrace entrepreneurs as well as those who come from more established companies. We are looking for someone with a strong technical foundation plus a track record of structuring healthy organizations that encourage effective collaborations across multiple disciplines. You'll influence technical decision making, drive prioritization and execution, while managing outstanding engineers and engineering managers in a fast-paced, impact focused environment.

Responsibilities

• Build, manage and support diverse teams of software engineers and engineering managers
• Provide both technical and organizational leadership, as well as product leadership
• Form cross-functional and cross-discipline partnerships to drive engineering efforts
• Establish effective strategies and execute against them
• Uphold a culture of respect, integrity, inclusion, innovation
• Demonstrated experience recruiting, building, structuring, leading technical organizations, including performance management. This is a Product-heavy role, so experience leading product teams is essential
• Strong cross-pillar collaboration skills required, since this team collaborates extensively with the Business Messaging pillar
• Product and collaboration complexity is very high, with accountability for aggressive revenue growth goals shared with Business Messaging teams
• Because of the above, technical and product insight is essential, especially in Monetization. The person must be able to get into details and drive for impact
• The role needs to be based in London, with 3 days per week in-office attendance
• The role requires quarterly travel to MPK, and annual or more travel to meetings with business partners and/or customers
• The role requires extensive collaboration with US timezone-based teams, so the working day extends into the evening London time a minimum of 3 days per week, although this is largely flexible and under the control of the person in the role

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working in a Monetization team would be highly advantageous, especially in building trust with BMO partners
• Experience specifically in working with an Ads stack is highly desirable
• Technical focus is on ensuring engineering work delivers high quality consumer experiences on iPhone, Android and Web, so experience with those technologies is an advantage
• Technical experience with the WhatsApp stack is an advantage but not essential
• Technical experience with the standard Meta development stack is an advantage but not essential
• Experience working very closely with Product Designers in a principle-led culture is advantageous
• Experience working with metrics- and data-driven decision making is highly advantageous

Now, Meta is moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology. People who choose to build their careers by building with us at Meta help shape a future that will take us beyond what digital connection makes possible today-beyond the constraints of screens, the limits of distance, and even the rules of physics.
