Software Systems Engineer Responsibilities:

• Design and develop systems software for managing, provisioning, and monitoring large-scale production hardware infrastructure, including compute, storage, and networking components
• Build and maintain tooling for hardware lifecycle management, fleet health monitoring, and automated remediation of production system failures
• Collaborate with hardware engineering teams to define software interfaces and firmware integration requirements for new servers and accelerator platforms
• Develop and optimize low-level systems software, including kernel modules, device drivers, and platform management agents, to improve hardware utilization and reliability
• Architect scalable infrastructure automation frameworks that reduce manual operational toil and accelerate hardware deployment across Meta's data center fleet
• Identify and resolve systemic reliability and performance issues across production hardware by analyzing telemetry, failure patterns, and system-level diagnostics
• Define technical direction for production systems software components, driving alignment across infrastructure engineering and data center operations stakeholders
• Mentor other engineers on systems software design patterns, debugging methodologies, and production infrastructure best practices
• Lead cross-functional efforts to evaluate and integrate new hardware technologies into the production environment, including bring-up, validation, and qualification workflows

Minimum Qualifications:

• 8+ years of experience in systems software engineering, including development in C, C++, or Python for Linux-based production environments
• 6+ years of experience with large-scale infrastructure systems, including hardware lifecycle management, fleet automation, or data center operations software
• Experience developing or integrating with low-level system components, such as kernel interfaces, BMC/IPMI/Redfish management stacks, or hardware telemetry frameworks
• Experience designing and operating distributed systems software at scale, including monitoring, alerting, and automated remediation pipelines
• Experience communicating technical decisions and system designs through written documentation and cross-functional stakeholder alignment

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience debugging and troubleshooting issues across hardware and software boundaries
• Experience working on hardware/software projects in the manufacturing and hardware validation space
• Familiarity with test automation frameworks and CI/CD pipelines
• Experience with large-scale distributed systems
