# Software Engineer, Container Infrastructure (Technical Leadership)

Meta's container platform runs a large share of the services that power Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Meta's AI products. The Containers team builds and runs the node-level software that starts, isolates, networks, and manages these workloads across a global fleet of millions of machines. We help Meta use its hardware efficiently through multi-tenancy, support new hardware including AI accelerator platforms, and build the next generation of our container runtime.We work closely with Meta's Linux kernel, networking, capacity engineering, and AI infrastructure teams. Many of the problems we solve exist nowhere else at this scale. We're looking for a Technical Lead to set the technical direction for three core areas: resource isolation, container networking, and the long-term evolution of our container runtime. You'll define the multi-year architecture, make key design decisions, mentor a team of systems engineers, stay hands-on in the most critical code, and influence partner teams across the infrastructure organization. Responsibilities Set technical strategy and roadmap for container resource isolation, networking, and runtime architecture Design isolation mechanism
