I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2026
Interview
The Meta Production Engineer interview process was structured and challenging. It started with recruiter screening, followed by technical rounds focused on coding, Linux/system troubleshooting, production debugging, and system design. The interviews tested not only technical knowledge, but also how clearly I could reason through ambiguous production issues, communicate tradeoffs, and stay calm while debugging under pressure.
