## Description

Meta is building frontier AI models that generate production-ready software. We're looking for a systems engineer to push this capability toward games and interactive experiences that run smoothly on real devices, respond instantly to input, and adapt to their hardware and platform. Your systems expertise - frame pacing, device optimization, multiplayer networking, cross-platform porting - will directly improve our models by shaping the evaluation and training data we use.

Software Engineer, Systems (Games and Interactive Experiences) Responsibilities:

 * Build and optimize interactive experiences that meet performance targets across frame rate, latency, and resource efficiency on real devices
 * Develop cross-platform solutions that adapt to different hardware capabilities, form factors, and input methods
 * Design and implement networked real-time experiences that remain responsive under varying network conditions
 * Create evaluation frameworks, benchmarks, and tooling to assess and improve model-generated experiences
 * Collaborate across teams to drive initiatives that improve training data quality and model capabilities
 * Own components or systems end-to-end, from design through production
