A Career Engineers Might Really ‘Like’

Do you spend hours browsing Facebook every day? Chances are, you probably do. But here’s something about Facebook that you might not know: just like tech giants Google and Apple, Facebook is also looking to hire lots of engineers.

The social networking site has just announced that it plans to open an engineering office in New York City, according to a press release. The office will be led by Sekan Piantino, a Facebook engineer who has helped with the development of the News Feed and Timeline and now manages the teams that maintain Facebook Messages and Chat. The office will open in early 2012, and the company is already accepting applications. Engineers at Facebook work on designing new infrastructure and tools, managing large data sets, and building mobile applications. Some positions include security engineers, network engineers, and user interface engineers.

Now that sounds like a career worth friending.
