The opportunity

If you love writing clean, performant Selenium code that runs in production, this full-time role in Richmond, CA was made for you. Bring Docker and Resilience sharpened over 4 years, and Meta answers with $114,000 - $158,000 plus a clear path up.

Key Responsibilities

  • Carry an outcome-focused Python feature through code freeze without breaking Meta stability
  • Sketch the Redis architecture, defend it in review, then build the thing
  • Slice the quietly-excellent technology monolith into JavaScript services Richmond, CA can deploy alone
  • Develop and maintain RESTful APIs powering core Meta products
  • Decide when to buy JavaScript versus build it for Meta's Richmond, CA stack

What You'll Bring

  • Strong working knowledge of Resilience and Redis
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Strong time-management skills and a bias toward action
  • Curiosity that outpaces your current job description
  • The reflex to surface risk before it surfaces itself
  • Familiarity with the rhythms of a purpose-led full-time team

From our Richmond, CA office, Meta ships performance-driven products used by companies large and small. Trust is the default setting at Meta; you have to actively spend it to lose it.

Joining Meta means $114,000 - $158,000, strong benefits, and a culture where senior engineers actively mentor newer talent.
