Network Engineer, Foundation & Support (Edge and Network Services Product Lifecycle Support)

About the job

This role within the Edge and Network Services (ENS) Foundation Design team offers an opportunity to tackle the challenges of introducing innovative compute and networking technologies across Meta's global data centers and edge presence. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams such as Network and Hardware Engineering, Connectivity Hardware Engineering, Data Center Connectivity, Facility Engineering/Operations, and Site Operations to execute and support ENS's new product introduction process, ensuring that new technologies can be deployed and managed at scale. Your focus is on the operational readiness validation of network hardware within integrated AI and network system rack infrastructure, along with the structured cabling and passive rack-integration products that support it. You will ensure the ENS deployment and operations processes and tooling are well-defined and executable for these technologies. This role requires 15-20 percent travel based on project demand.
