Software Engineer, Machine Learning - Search Algorithm, Standalone Apps Team

We're Meta's Standalone Apps Team — we build new apps to reach new user scenarios and serve needs that aren't well met today. The project we're building right now is an image-and-text community where real people share first-hand experiences and recommendations — what to try, where to go, how to do something. It's where people come to get inspired and to make everyday decisions, learning from others who've actually been there. It's still early — a small team working 0→1. If you want high ownership, a short path from idea to ship, and the chance to shape a product from its first version, this is that kind of team. We're looking for a staff-level ML engineer to own the search algorithm — retrieval, ranking, and relevance — so people can find exactly what they're looking for.
