About the role
We file this job under Data Scientist, by the work the posting describes.
Data scientists use statistics and models to answer harder questions, such as whether a change worked, what demand will look like next quarter, or which customers are likely to leave.
Postings usually ask for Python or R, SQL, statistics, experiment design and common machine learning methods.
Unlike an ML engineer, a data scientist's main output is often an analysis or a first model, not software running inside a product.
**Summary:**
Meta is seeking experienced engineers to join our Central Integrity team which exists to keep billions of people safe on Meta's platforms. We design and deploy systems that detect and disrupt harm at an unprecedented global scale, making this one of the largest deployments of AI for positive real-world impact anywhere in the industry. Our work safeguards critical areas including child and youth safety, fraud and scams, identity and authenticity and more while actively building defenses against novel frontier threats, such as autonomous AI agents and automated risk vectors. This represents some of the most technically demanding and high-stakes engineering and product at Meta, driven by a deeply mission-focused team. You'll combine strong engineering fundamentals with cutting-edge AI to build effective, adaptable solutions that stay ahead of evolving integrity and safety risks. If you are driven by hard technical challenges and want your work to deliver immediate, real-world impact, this is where you belong.
**Required Skills:**
Software Engineer, Machine Learning - Central Integrity Responsibilities:
1. Collaborate with cross-functional teams (product, design, operations, infrastructure) to build innovative application experiences.

4. Set direction and goals for teams, lead major initiatives, provide technical guidance and mentorship to peers, and help onboard new team members.
5. Architect efficient and scalable systems that drive complex applications.
6. Identify and resolve performance and scalability issues, and drive large efforts to reduce technical debt.
7. Work on a variety of coding languages and technologies.
8. Establish ownership of components, features, or systems with expert end-to-end understanding.
