Software Engineer, Full Stack

Company: Meta

City: London

Country: United Kingdom

Meta is constantly under attack from malicious actors. Protecting against this is a unique challenge, and quite different to Security teams you might have encountered before – there are almost no other companies that operate at our scale while maintaining our level of openness. Meta Security is a high-growth org, responsible for solving these problems at global scale for the first time, and building & operating systems which protect the entire company. Put simply: if we fail, Meta as a business fails. The threats we face can take many forms, both internal and external. It might be attacks from nation-state actors, malware or ransomware entering the corporate environment, or employees misusing their access to sensitive data. We need to detect all of these problems before they cause major damage or place people’s data at risk, and work proactively to prevent them from happening again. XDR Platform is a software engineering team within Security which builds systems to detect, and respond to such incidents. The platform we’re developing provides all the necessary capabilities to automatically handle most of the threats we face. On top of this, we’re working to craft a delightful user experience for our Security Engineers to manually investigate more complex incidents when they need to. The new team member will join the Response platform team. Our team is developing the best in class security platform and tools required for efficient response to the security threats.
