Systems Infrastructure

About Systems Infrastructure

Facebook's mission is to connect the world. We build systems that allow more than a billion people all over the world to connect and communicate using whatever devices they have available. Our systems need to be scalable, fast, reliable, and efficient in order to provide a great user experience. As we design and build these systems, Facebook engineers encounter grand challenges across all levels of systems—from data center, hardware, storage, mobile, to distributed systems, just to name a few. Moreover, fast evolving social apps and highly dynamic social workloads present us with many unique research opportunities. The entire Facebook platform is our lab for research, development, and innovation.

We pride ourselves on actively engaging with the research and engineering communities by actively encouraging academic publications and open sourcing our software and hardware innovations. We are looking to collaborate with faculty members in a number of areas, as well as provide internship and full-time opportunities for students.
