You will contribute to new product introduction workflows, operational documentation, and continuous improvement initiatives that enable Meta's network infrastructure to evolve alongside the demands of AI, compute, and connectivity at a global scale.

Responsibilities

• Drive initiatives to enhance efficiency through tooling improvements in the pre-deployment domain for Backbone, Edge, and Optical
• Collaborate with internal and cross-functional partner teams to define and automate optimal workflows for network pre-deployment activities
• Automation and integration into existing tooling ecosystem which involves planning and pre-deployment activities (such as design bootstrapping, engineering design package generation, bill of materials (BOM) creation etc)
• Proactively find gaps that impact multiple teams/orgs, come up with the execution plan, drive the project, and influence other teams to implement initiatives
• Work with partner teams, understand their challenges, help them find a solution natively or lead effort working with cross functional teams to deliver systems/platforms/tooling
• Work with developers and program managers to design and prioritize tooling enhancements and fixes
• Help with roadmapping to identify and address key challenges
