Meta is seeking experienced engineers to join Meta Business Agents, the org building AI agents and messaging platforms that connect businesses with the people who want to hear from them. Every day, millions of businesses reach customers through WhatsApp, Messenger and Instagram Direct, and we build the systems that make those conversations work at that scale, from the messaging infrastructure itself to state-of-the-art AI business agents that can handle a sale, book an appointment or resolve a support question end to end. Our work spans scaled messaging infrastructure, data and agentic platforms, and products serving everyone from a single-person business to a global enterprise. We are defining what agentic commerce looks like, which means the engineering problems are genuinely unsolved. If you want to build AI systems that real businesses depend on from day one, this is the right team for you.
