## Description

Meta Reality Labs is seeking a Software Engineering Manager to lead the productivity and systems infrastructure behind Meta's fastest-growing product category: AI-powered wearables. On the heels of Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses becoming one of the most popular consumer devices in Meta's history, we are scaling to a broad next-generation portfolio of smart glasses, wrist wearables, and augmented reality devices. You will manage teams building the large-scale, high-reliability infrastructure that keeps 2,000+ wearable developers fast and unblocked -- mainline health, build and release, test automation, on-demand devices and emulators, and developer tooling -- while driving technical strategy, championing AI-assisted engineering workflows, and partnering across product, QA, and data science to ship systems that are fast, resilient, and built to scale., * Manage teams of engineers and technical leaders who deliver large-scale infrastructure with significant cross-org dependencies

 * Shape the technical strategy and roadmap for the productivity and systems infrastructure powering our wearables portfolio
 * Stay hands-on, evaluating architecture, reviewing system designs, and contributing directly with AI-assisted tools
 * Partner with product, hardware, QA, and data science to keep teams engaged substantively, not siloed
 * Proactively surface and resolve execution risks across vision, strategy, and people to keep teams from being unblocked
 * Foster strong engineering craftsmanship through investment in AI workflows and tooling
 * Monitor organization health through regular feedback loops, pulse data, and structured development conversations
