It works closely with the various other teams building foundational features and is the very top of the user funnel. The team members tend to be full stack engineers with some game development experience as well, working across stacks (WWW/React, C++, web services like Thrift, TypeScript, and more) and cross-discipline (PMs, designers, QA, data scientists, etc). • Shape the future of game development by building AI-first tools and contributing to the roadmap and strategy for the next major shift in the industry. • Work in a collaborative and innovative environment with cross-functional teams to drive innovation and impact. • Be a part of Meta's future and one if its top priorities - the intersection of AI and the metaverse.
