Meta's Edge compute fleet - around 162,000 servers in more than 600 locations worldwide - is how our users reach us. Unlike most of Meta's hardware, this fleet doesn't run in our own data centers: it lives in Edge PoPs terminating user connections, and in ISP and cell-service-provider locations running caching for partner networks. The Edge Hardware team is the hardware engineering partner to the Traffic organization that owns this footprint. We are a key partner in hardware selection and qualification, qualify firmware across every component, investigate failures in the deployed fleet, and define the detection and remediation tooling that keeps it healthy. The work sits directly in the user's path: a hardware fault we miss becomes a user-visible availability problem. You'd work day to day with an engineer who is being hired alongside you and with the team in Dublin who currently owns the area - and represent the Edge hardware in architecture conversations with the Traffic organization.
