Summary:
Meta's Ads organization builds the systems that help businesses of every size reach the people most likely to care about what they offer. At our core, we're builders who care about shipping real value. We own the advertiser-facing side of that work, end to end: the campaign and optimization products that drive advertiser results; the business experiences where advertisers plan, create, and manage their work, from a first boosted post to a global agency's workflow; the signals, attribution, and measurement that prove what their advertising delivered; and the payments and financial systems the money moves through, along with the integrity work that keeps them trusted. AI is changing all of it - what we build for advertisers and how we build it - and ours is the org where advertiser value is won or lost.As a technical leader in Ads Products, you will shape the long-term engineering direction of ML-powered advertiser products. You will connect campaign optimization and advertiser-experience opportunities with the models, data, and product systems needed to deliver them, guiding cross-team engineering efforts from technical strategy through measurable advertiser impact.
