Summary

Infotech is seeking a Software Engineer to join Meta’s Privacy Competition Team, contributing to the Cross Application Data Use workstream. This role involves independently managing a queue of privacy-related tasks generated by automated detectors, analyzing potential data violations, and ensuring code integrity across large-scale systems.

You will investigate backend code, validate privacy compliance, and resolve or escalate issues where necessary. This is a highly technical role requiring strong backend engineering, debugging, and SQL expertise—particularly in Hack, Meta’s derivative of PHP.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage and resolve a continuous queue of privacy-related engineering tasks.

  • Investigate and diagnose potential data privacy violations using code tracing and debugging.

  • Read, write, and modify Hack/PHP backend code within Meta’s large-scale systems.

  • Design, edit, and optimize SQL queries for data validation and analysis.

  • Communicate findings, blockers, and resolutions clearly to project tech leads and partner teams.

Required Skills & Experience

  • 4+ years of backend PHP/Hack programming experience (not limited to front-end work).

  • 4+ years of SQL experience, including writing and optimizing complex queries (joins, subqueries, aggregations).

  • Strong ability to debug, trace call stacks, and follow data transformations through multiple layers.

  • Excellent analytical, organizational, and independent problem-solving skills.

Top Technical Strengths

  • Deep understanding of complex backend PHP/Hack systems.

  • Proficiency in advanced SQL query construction and optimization.

  • Expertise in debugging, static analysis, and privacy-focused code validation.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related technical field.

  • Experience with large-scale, backend system debugging or privacy compliance work.

  • Familiarity with data privacy, security, or compliance engineering.

  • Certifications in PHP or SQL are a plus.

Ideal Candidate Profile

This role suits engineers who excel at digging deep into complex systems, uncovering nuanced data flow issues, and ensuring robust privacy compliance. The ideal candidate combines strong backend coding and debugging skills with analytical precision and the ability to work independently on high-impact privacy initiatives.
