Software Engineering Manager - Wearables AI

The Wearable AI Team at Meta is seeking a technical leader to join our team and drive the development of next-generation AI experiences on smart devices. As a technical leader in the team, you will play a critical role in shaping the core AI technology that powers Meta's Smart Glasses and future generations of smart devices. We have the opportunity to build the next computing platform powered by the latest and greatest AI technologies. Building on the success of our Multimodal AI Assistant launch on Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses last year, we are now focused on creating a truly human-like Assistant that can see, hear, and assist users in the most seamless way possible.

We are looking for a leader to accelerate our agentic AI plans and transform the way we approach AI development. The agentic paradigm represents a significant shift towards more adaptable, dynamic systems that can autonomously address unforeseen requests. By empowering agents to reason, plan, remember, and combine chains of tools, we aim to create new experiences that cater to a broader range of user needs, ultimately enhancing the appeal and utility of Meta's smart devices.Software Engineering Manager - Wearables AI Responsibilities
