## Job description

The System Architecture Engineer leads system development and cross-functional system delivery for Meta's global Design, Construction, and Engineering (DEC) organization. This role sets the technical direction for the systems domain, drives major initiatives from concept through delivery, and serves as the primary technical authority for complex platform decisions — spanning enterprise platforms (Unifier, P6, ACC, etc.), integrations with internal enterprise platforms and services, and data architecture.

This person owns the strategy and engineering solution across a system's portfolio, solving complex, high-impact problems in the domain and leading initiatives that define the team and cross-team strategy. They operate as a credible co-owner across cross-functional boundaries — able to independently drive product decisions, engineer technical solutions, design reviews, and technical analyses alongside business leaders, product managers, and data teams.

## Responsibilities
- Set technical strategy for assigned systems; lead planning, development, and rollout of major initiatives; proactively identify roadmap risks and communicate mitigation plans to leadership
- Drive build-vs-buy evaluations and vendor assessments, providing clear recommendations backed by data and analysis
- Own product KPIs, adoption metrics, and user satisfaction — using data to inform priorities and demonstrate business value
- Develop solutions architecture, functional specifications, and system designs for complex business requirements — including UI workflows, integration patterns, and data architecture
- Lead end-to-end delivery of major system implementations and upgrades; architect integrations within and across applications ensuring data integrity, seamless workflows, and capabilities for analytics and AI Use AI tools fluently as a force multiplier; drive AI adoption to automate routine work and improve system quality through AI-assisted workflows
- Set and enforce engineering craft standards; influence the broader team's engineering culture toward higher product quality, efficiency, and AI-accelerated workflows
- Partner with business leaders and cross-functional teams in Enterprise Engineering, Data Engineering, and adjacent DEC teams to drive platform decisions, design reviews, and feature rollouts
- Influence adjacent teams' priorities when dependencies exist — advocating effectively for work that unblocks DEC's systems roadmap
- Communicate effectively across disciplines — explaining technical problems with data and analysis to both technical and non-technical audiences
- Mentor and develop systems engineers — coaching on technical engineering, business context, communications, and partnership
- Build team capability through documentation, training, and standards; contribute to recruiting efforts
