Solutions Engineering at Facebook

Facebook's Solutions Engineering team is comprised of creative problem solvers and strategic software engineers who collaborate with clients to understand their challenges and architect solutions. We are at the cross function of business and engineering helping Facebook's marketing and advertising partners succeed and reach their business goals with Facebook products, by finding technology solutions to meet their needs. We are passionate about working closely with our external clients and partners across many industries — travel, retail, e-commerce, gaming, financial services, automotive, entertainment and beyond.
"Solutions Engineers work closely with clients and partners to understand real world problems and solve them with code. They build and architect solutions that address these business challenges through technology.”
-Bruce, Director of Solutions Engineering, EMEA
We are subject matter experts that know all of the products and technologies inside Facebook and work closely with product managers to influence and create new products. We want to make immediate impact for our partners business needs so we provide consultation and then develop products that help them build what's next for their businesses. It's a powerful team that brings effective marketing solutions to life for our biggest clients.
We love to make things that have impact in the real world and love experiencing that impact first hand when working with our partners and clients. A few examples of our projects include:
Dynamic Ads provide tremendous value for advertisers, but adoption is tough for SMBs given technical work the SMB will have to do to install the Facebook pixel (Javascript) on their website and set up a feed of all their products. Based on insights for the largest 3rd party e-com platforms globally, the team built a native integration with Shopify, Magento, OpenCart, EC-Cube (Japan), and many more platforms to enable 1-click pixel install and feed creation to make dynamic ad set-up easier for SMBs.
Travel companies were interested in finding a way to show more relevant hotels and photos in their ads so our Solutions Engineers worked to pull from a hotel’s description into an eCommerce-style product feed, a hack which proved instant success and was quickly rolled out to many other partners. As the number of travel partners increased, it became clear that we needed to build a more robust and domain-specific product for Travel advertisers. The team worked side-by-side with our Product teams to plan, inform and code-up Dynamic Ads for Travel.
