Reality Labs at Meta is building first-of-a-kind products that make it easier for people to connect with the ones they love most and the environment in natural and innovative ways. We leverage cutting edge technologies and platforms to build rich features, ensure high performance, security and privacy with power/thermal constraint. We are a team of world-class experts developing and shipping products at the intersection of hardware, software and content.
As an Embedded Software Engineer on the Reality Labs team at Meta, you can help build new, innovative hardware and software that radically redefine the way people work, play and connect. What we build today could one day be the norm. So to be here today is to truly be at the heart of change and the frontier of what's to come. We're the people helping to define the metaverse and next generation computing. We may not have all the answers. But together, we're getting closer.
