Facebook Production Engineering Series
by Nava, Eduardo 30 Sep '20

30 Sep '20

Hey guys! Last summer I worked for Facebook as a Production Engineering Intern, and I want to share this ongoing information series for my CS people. Ever wonder how Facebook operates at such a large scale and still manages to keep everything up and running? Dial into our Production Engineering Series to find out for yourself! Production Engineers (PEs) at Facebook are a hybrid between software and systems engineers who are focused on the scalability and reliability of Facebook’s family of apps and services. Our PE Splash Page<https://l.workplace.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffbpe.splashthat.com%2F&h=AT0m…> dives into more detail and includes the specific dates & times of our upcoming events. 10/5 & 11/2: What is PE?<https://www.facebook.com/events/1059420701183680> (45 Min) If you’ve never heard about Production Engineering, this is a great session to dial into to get started! To kick off our series, this session will begin with an overview about PE, how PEs became a role at Facebook and what a PE typically focuses on in their day to day responsibilities. 10/7 & 11/4: Production Engineering (PE) vs. Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) vs. Software Engineering (SWE)<https://www.facebook.com/events/384506796288624> (45 Min) PE is a role that is very specific to Facebook so we see how it can be confusing to fully understand. This session will go over the differences and similarities between these seemingly similar roles and what skills you will need to be a successful PE. Hopefully by attending this session you will have a better understanding on whether PE can be a career path for you! 10/9 & 11/6: PE Interns & University Grad Panel<https://www.facebook.com/events/683725905578620> (60 Min) Curious about how our interns thrived through their internship this past summer in the midst of COVID? In this session, our panel of interns will be sharing their experience firsthand! One of our panelists will also share about their transition from being an intern to becoming a full time PE. We will poll questions in our Facebook Event page so be sure to submit your questions there ahead of time. Stay safe and best regards, Eduardo Nava B.S. Computer Science Georgia Institute of Technology 205 4th St. NW, Atlanta, GA, 30313 (301)-503-1427<tel:706-217-7454> navaem(a)gatech.edu
