Facebook was built to help people connect and share, and over the last decade our tools have played a critical part in changing how people around the world communicate with one another. With over a billion people using the service and more than fifty offices around the globe, a career at Facebook offers countless ways to make an impact in a fast growing organization.
We are looking for people who want to face exciting infrastructure scaling challenges. Ideal candidates will enjoy designing and implementing systems that scale seamlessly with hundreds of millions of users that decide to share their lives through images every day.

Ideal candidates will enjoy the thrill of streamlining and supporting the scale we're at, but also the larger scale we'll grow to in the future. Instagram presents a unique opportunity to scale a system to hundreds of millions of people while working in a tight-knit team of fewer than a dozen engineers.
