Director, Technical Program Management

Meta is seeking a Director of Technical Program Management for our HEART Organization. The HEART organization (Hardware Engineering and Research & Development Team) at Meta is dedicated to imagining, building, and deploying industry-leading hardware systems that fuel Meta’s products and services for billions of people.

Our mission is centered on two core pillars:

1/ Delivering High-Performance Hardware Platforms:
HEART is responsible for the design, development, and sustaining engineering of hardware systems across Meta’s infrastructure, with a particular focus on supporting AI training and inference at massive scale. The org aims to be a trusted partner to product groups by delivering platforms that delight customers and enable Meta’s future growth.

2/ Driving Sustainability and Emissions Reduction:
HEART is committed to supporting Meta’s Net Zero by 2030 goal. This includes setting ambitious targets to reduce the carbon footprint of Meta’s infrastructure, such as limiting average projected emissions per rack and executing initiatives like supplier engagement, server useful life extension, and memory reuse. HEART leads efforts to make carbon emissions estimates a standard part of hardware development and to develop new decarbonization solutions for the future.
