Surrounding team & key projects

This role sits within the Reality Labs Post Sales Organization (RL PSO), which handles everything after the point of sale-including customer experience and support. The team is responsible for PSO-wide data reporting and analytics, serving as the data backbone for three key pillars: Customer Support (covering emails, chats, and Client interactions with analytics sourced from Salesforce, BPO partners, and case management systems), Customer Experience Surveys (encompassing purchase, returns, store, and post-support surveys), and Digital Support (including help center articles, video articles, website issue creation, and chatbot analytics). The hiring manager, reports directly to the head of CX within Reality Labs PSO. Critically, this team does not perform the analysis itself-rather, it enables analysts across the organization by building robust data pipelines, creating and maintaining Hive tables, developing dashboards, and driving AI readiness across the PSO org.

Typical Day-to-Day in the role

• Building and maintaining self-service dashboards for stakeholders across PSO
• Enabling AI capabilities and integration across the organization to reduce manual effort
• Performing QA and validation for dashboards to ensure data accuracy and reliability
• Designing, building, and maintaining data pipelines to move data between systems
• Ingesting data from third-party sources and sharing data to external partners via APIs
• Collaborating with analysts and stakeholders to understand data requirements and deliver solutions

How will performance be measured?

• Quality, reliability, and uptime of data pipelines and dashboards
• Successful delivery and adoption of AI enablement initiatives across the organization
• Data accuracy and adherence to data quality standards and governance policies
• Timeliness in delivering data artifacts and meeting project deadlines
• Stakeholder satisfaction and effectiveness of self-service analytics capabilities
• Reduction in manual effort through automation and AI-driven workflows
• Ability to operate independently, manage ambiguity, and deliver results in a fast-paced environment

What makes this role interesting?

This is an opportunity to join Meta's Reality Labs at the forefront of AR/VR technology and directly impact the customer experience for millions of users worldwide. The role offers a unique blend of data engineering and AI enablement work-building the foundational data infrastructure while also driving cutting-edge AI capabilities across the organization. You will work in a fast-paced industry and company where your contributions will be highly visible and impactful. As a direct partner to the hiring manager, you will have significant ownership and influence over the team's data strategy and AI roadmap. There is a strong possibility of extension with full tenure for high performers, making this an excellent opportunity for candidates who thrive in the contractor model and are looking for stability and meaningful long-term work. The team values committed professionals who understand and prefer the contingent worker model and are looking for more than just a stopgap role.

Must-Have Skills

• SQL and Python proficiency with strong experience building ETL pipelines at scale
• Airflow or equivalent workflow orchestration tool experience (Apache Spark orchestration)
• Dashboard building experience (Tableau preferred)

Nice-to-have Skills

• AI experience (e.g., using Claude, AI-generative dashboards, enabling AI capabilities in other organizations)
• Prior Meta experience (understands internal infrastructure and tech stack)
• Experience in a fast-paced industry or company (startups acceptable; avoid candidates from slower-paced finance or healthcare environments)

Years of overall experience required?

6 (Could be less if the candidate has prior meta experience)

Degrees/certifications required?

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field

Candidate Disqualifiers

• Candidates using this role as a stopgap or stepping stone to full-time employment
• Candidates who cannot adapt to Meta's fast-paced work culture
