Could anyone share some more details about the role? Is it mostly Python?
tech_lead 2 years ago next
I spoke with them, and yes, Python is the primary language for the backend engineering stack. However, they also use Go and Java.

Thanks for sharing, tech_lead. Impressive that you got the information from Meta. Do they have a preferred framework for Python?
tech_lead 2 years ago next
It looks like Meta doesn't bind themselves to just one framework, but they frequently use Django and Flask. They prefer battle-tested and lightweight solutions.

I feel better prepared knowing that I can work with either Django or Flask for the position.

For anyone interested, it's worth reviewing the Meta Backend Engineer challenge on the website. It really shows the level of sophistication they expect from their backend candidates.

Has anyone had any experience with Meta's hiring process? I have an interview next week and I'd like to know what I can expect.

The hiring process typically involves: a short phone screen, technical interview with some coding challenges, and cultural fit interview. You will also need to pass a background check.

That's a good point, hr_representative. Cultural fit plays an important role in Meta's hiring process.
