The manager partners with hardware, kernel, and product engineering teams to shape technical direction for platform frameworks that scale across Meta’s device ecosystem.

Requirements

8+ years of software engineering experience in systems software, OS frameworks, platform engineering, or related low-level software domains.
4+ years of engineering management experience leading teams that deliver OS-level or platform software, including experience managing other engineering leaders.
Experience driving technical strategy and roadmaps for foundational software systems such as runtime environments, system services, or platform APIs.
Track record of recruiting, developing, and retaining engineers and technical leaders in a systems or platform engineering domain.
Experience collaborating across hardware, kernel, and application engineering organizations to define and deliver platform-level software.

Nice To Haves

Ongoing AI skill development, such as prompt/context engineering or agent orchestration, and staying current with emerging AI technologies.
Track record of improving platform performance, reliability, or developer experience through systematic investment in engineering infrastructure and tooling.
Use of AI tools to evaluate technical direction, improve engineering workflows, or expand team delivery capacity.
Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices, such as risk assessment, bias mitigation, and quality and accuracy reviews.
Experience leading platform or OS framework engineering for consumer devices such as mobile, wearable, or extended reality hardware.
Ability to integrate AI tools to optimize or redesign workflows and drive measurable impact, such as efficiency gains or quality improvements.
Experience managing teams through significant platform transitions, such as new hardware bring-up, OS version migrations, or API redesigns.

Responsibilities

Lead and grow multiple teams of engineers and technical leaders delivering OS frameworks, system services, and platform APIs across Meta’s device and software ecosystem.
Drive the technical strategy and roadmap for OS-level frameworks, including runtime environments, inter-process communication, and platform abstraction layers.
Engage with teams’ technical direction, using AI tools to evaluate architectural decisions, assess code quality, and contribute to platform design.
Partner with hardware, kernel, product, and application engineering teams to define platform contracts and ensure framework reliability, performance, and scalability.
Identify and resolve execution risks across teams, including architectural gaps, dependency bottlenecks, and engineering quality issues.
Recruit, develop, and retain engineering leaders and individual contributors, fostering technical craft, AI-native workflows, and continuous improvement.
Champion AI-assisted development practices to expand delivery capacity and improve engineering efficiency.
Maintain a high-quality, healthy codebase through investment in testing infrastructure, performance benchmarking, and platform stability practices.
Communicate technical strategy and organizational progress to cross-functional partners and leadership, including the implications of platform decisions for dependent product teams.
Ensure engineers engage substantively with product, design, and data partners when defining platform capabilities and APIs.
