About the role

Technical leader responsible for optimizing and integrating platform-level software on Meta's wearable device stack, bridging Core OS capabilities with application/experience layers across firmware, OS interfaces, frameworks, middleware, and applications to deliver immersive user experiences.

Responsibilities

  • Platform Architecture & Integration: Drive platform software architecture for wearable devices, ensuring coherent integration across Core OS interfaces, frameworks, middleware, and application layers
  • Cross-Stack Technical Leadership: Lead system-level initiatives that span OS-to-application boundaries, optimizing frameworks, system services, and applications for performance, reliability, and power efficiency
  • End-to-End System Debugging: Own resolution of complex, ambiguous issues that span multiple components—OS interfaces, drivers, frameworks, and application software—identifying root causes and driving fixes across teams including Core OS
  • System Performance & Optimization: Analyze and optimize platform-level performance, latency, memory usage, and power consumption across the framework and application stack
  • Core OS Partnership: Collaborate with the Core OS team to define platform requirements, influence OS roadmaps, and ensure platform needs are met by underlying OS capabilities
  • System Health & Reliability: Establish metrics, monitoring, and frameworks to maintain overall system health and reliability for platform software across the wearables portfolio
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Core OS, hardware, firmware, connectivity, multimedia, and product teams to align technical strategies and resolve dependencies
  • Mentorship & Technical Excellence: Mentor engineers across disciplines, fostering systems thinking and best practices for cross-stack development
  • Documentation & Communication: Communicate platform architecture decisions, integration strategies, and technical trade-offs to stakeholders at all levels clearly and concisely

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
  • Expert-level understanding of platform architecture, including interactions between OS (Linux/Android), system services, frameworks, and application software
  • Proven track record of leading complex platform integration efforts across OS, frameworks, and application teams
  • Strong experience with system-level debugging tools and methodologies (system traces, performance profilers, memory analyzers)
  • Strong programming skills in C/C++ and/or Java/Kotlin with experience debugging across multiple layers of the stack
  • Familiarity with hardware interfaces and how they surface through OS/driver layers to platform software
  • Deep understanding of power management, thermal constraints, and performance optimization at the platform level
  • Experience applying analytical and problem-solving approaches to complex systems issues and communicating technical decisions to technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Experience leading cross-functional teams to ship consumer electronics or embedded devices at scale
  • 10+ years of experience in systems engineering, platform software, or embedded systems development with increasing levels of system-level responsibility
