Careers at Facebook

“The Hacker Way” is an approach to building that involves continuous improvement and iteration. Hackers believe that something can always be better, and that nothing is ever complete. They just have to go fix it – often in the face of people who say it’s impossible or are content with the status quo. If you fit this calling, Facebook wants you to join our NYC-based engineering team and help to develop scalable solutions to some of the most, if not the most, intricate engineering problems that impact the likeability (thumbs up!) of our 1 billion+ users.

We’re looking for data-driven engineers to join the Search and Machine Learning team. As a part of the larger Entities team, which is working to map and connect the high-quality social and entity graph on Facebook, the Search team is focused on building the best location dataset in the world for our location products (mobile Nearby, Graph Search, etc.) and 3rd party developers. The work is a mix of Crowdsourcing (PHP/front-end), Machine Learning (Python/ranking), and Search Features/Ranking (Python/ranking). We are looking for candidates who share a passion for tackling complexity and making sense out of massive datasets using text retrieval, NLP, machine learning and various other optimization techniques.
