Facebook has been successfully running their Return to Work Programme in more than 10 cities across the US and is now expanding into Europe. Their 16-week immersive program designed for those who have left the workforce for 2 years or longer and are looking to re-enter the workforce. At the end of the term, those who have demonstrated their abilities to succeed and have an impact at Facebook will be considered for a permanent position.
Roles available (updated 16 Nov 2020)
Production Engineer, Dublin/London – Production Engineers at Facebook are hybrid software/systems engineers who ensure that Facebook’s services run smoothly and have the capacity for future growth. They are embedded in every one of Facebook’s product and infrastructure teams, and are core participants in every significant engineering effort underway in the company. The team is comprised of varying levels of experience and backgrounds, from new grads to industry veterans. Relevant industry experience is important (Site Reliability Engineer (SRE), Systems Engineer, Software Engineer, DevOps Engineer, Network Engineer, Systems Administrator, Linux Administrator, Database Administrator or similar role), but ultimately less so than your demonstrated abilities and attitude. They sail into uncharted waters every day at Facebook in Production Engineering, and they are always learning.
