Job Description: • 2-minute read •
Technical Program Managers in Ads lead cross-team engineering efforts for Facebook that help build meaningful connections between people and businesses. Machine learning on data at a massive scale powers many of our core systems for delivering ads. We are seeking talented individuals with a solid background in ads, ML, and distributed systems who can be highly effective communicators and heavily influential in the organization. Ads TPM is a key leadership role for driving impact at Facebook. In this position, you will influence frontier ads problems, build world-class ad products, and work with some of the world’s most talented Engineers, Data Scientists, and Product Managers. You will apply ML to Facebook's massive data about people to capture people’s purchase intent and improve understanding in people’s cross-device behaviors. You will apply data science to address the most challenging statistical problems in measurement. You will be heavily involved in ensuring the success of our identity-related projects.

Ads Technical Program Managers are a group of passionate individuals who go deep on learning their teams’ systems and then leverage this technical knowledge to influence and drive cross-team projects and roadmaps. The Ads TPM works horizontally to create long term value for Facebook by promoting the right technologies for productivity, stability, and growth. New hires in this role go through engineering bootcamp and are expected to build an overarching understanding of the whole system architecture (e.g. in the case of Ads Backend, of the delivery system, payments, front end, and advertiser facing tools.) Ads TPMs are embedded into the engineering or PM organization. As peers to Engineering Managers and Product Managers, Ads TPMs heavily contribute to planning, negotiating cross-team dependencies, representing the voice of the customer, and are expected to shine as a valuable addition to the Ads organization.
