Facebook's Edge & Network Service (ENS) team is actively looking for passionate people to help us tackle the unique set of challenges and opportunities we face as we scale our global network infrastructure. Our team is execution focused, responsible for the deployment and support of all production networks (Edge, Backbone, Optical, and Datacenter) as well as our content delivery network (CDN) across the globe.

This is a full-time, 12 week internship position.

Innovate to Scale: Applicants should have the ability to identify repetitive and time-consuming tasks that can be automated to save time and resources. They should have a systematic approach to their work, always thinking of how tooling and automation or reengineering of business processes can be leveraged to streamline and standardize network deployment and support activities while scaling with the needs of business.

Moving Fast: Applicants need to be a master of prioritization and quickly ramp to the speed at which we do work at Facebook. We expect this person to be able to decipher signal vs. noise, quickly gain context, and begin prioritizing impactful work. This person needs to be able to operate autonomously with minimal supervision and thrive in our fast-paced environment.
