As a member of this team, you will have a unique opportunity to be involved in projects related to implementation & scaling of the optical network at Meta. A strong candidate for this role is an engineer who can adapt to changing technical requirements and evolving network architectures. An engineer with a track record of learning new technologies, identifying process improvements, and developing practical solutions to operational challenges. As an Optical Deployment Engineer, you propose new ideas, gather constructive feedback from others, and drive those ideas through to implementation.\nResponsibilitiesDeploy, configure, and support a large-scale production optical network that spans long-haul terrestrial, regional metros and subsea networks, interconnecting data centers and Points of Presence (POP) sites across all regions with a primary focus on APAC region\nCreate and maintain Engineering Design Packages for subsea, metro, regional and long-haul DWDM rings/systems\nGenerate implementation plans and provide technical leadership and guidance during deployment activities\nCollaborate with vendors/manufacturers to evaluate new hardware/software and create optical standards for network deployment teams\nReview Acceptance Documents provided by vendors and subcontractors deploying equipment on our network\nProvide technical expertise to network provisioning engineers for troubleshooting out-of-service or faulty circuits\nPlan, schedule and perform complex network migrations\nWork closely with the cross functional teams of Network Engineers, Planners, Logistics Vendors, and Fiber Providers to ensure seamless introduction of new optical technologies into the production network\nProactively contribute to documentation, automation and processes as they evolve\nThis role will involve some pre-planned travel from time to time\nMinimum QualificationsCurrently has, or is in the process of obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience. Degree must be completed prior to joining Meta\nDemonstrated hands-on experience deploying optical networks\nExperience with optical network design, installation and maintenance for service providers or enterprise networks\nKnowledge of optical theory, transport technologies and the operation of optical transport systems\nExperience with field-based work on Subsea Deployments, POPs, ISP, data centers and central office environments\nExperience with optical test equipment and optical troubleshooting experience using OTDR, OSA, BERT and optical power meters\nExperience creating rack elevations and other planned/install/as-built documentation\nExperience managing multiple concurrent deployment projects, including scheduling, prioritization, and documentation\nPreferred QualificationsDemonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)\nDemonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies\nKnowledge of coding in at least one language (i.e., Python), preferably for network or systems automation with knowledge of scripting languages\nExperience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)\nExperience working in a large cross-functional global team environment\nKnowledge of cable landing stations & data center design and operational best practices\nKnowledge of TCP/IP protocol, network management protocol, network routing protocol (like BGP), Layer 2 concepts (e.g., STP, VLANs etc.), IPv6, and network monitoring\nMeta builds technologies that help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses. When Facebook launched in 2004, it changed the way people connect. Apps like Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp further empowered billions around the world. Now, Meta is moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology. People who choose to build their careers by building with us at Meta help shape a future that will take us beyond what digital connection makes possible today—beyond the constraints of screens, the limits of distance, and even the rules of physics.\nSkills\nDWDM, Computer Engineering, ISPS Code, Metro, Optical Technologies, Delivery audits, Meter Reading, Infrastructure Migrations, Computer Science, Implementation Planning, Service Maintenance, Liaise With System Vendors, Construction Details, Network Administration and Maintenance, Regional Programme, Fiber Optic Networks","description_format":"text","description_chars":4859,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":1,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Advertising","Virtual & Augmented Reality","Digital Media","Foundation Models"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-15T08:28:15Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":14,"reasons":["seen:0","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-15T11:22:24Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":131508,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/meta-network-engineer-optical-deployment","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/meta-network-engineer-optical-deployment.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-15T11:22:24Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":17501,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-16T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":20},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=20"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmeta-network-engineer-optical-deployment"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fmeta-network-engineer-optical-deployment"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fmeta-network-engineer-optical-deployment"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/meta-network-engineer-optical-deployment\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmeta-network-engineer-optical-deployment"}]}
