Paid Internship at Facebook
Facebook’s mission is to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together. Through our family of apps and services, we’re building a different kind of company that connects billions of people around the world, gives them ways to share what matters most to them, and helps bring people closer together. Whether we’re creating new products or helping a small business expand its reach, people at Facebook are builders at heart. Our global teams are constantly iterating, solving problems, and working together to empower people around the world to build community and connect in meaningful ways. Together, we can help people build stronger communities — we’re just getting started.
At Facebook, we are committed to giving people the power to share and make the world more open and connected. It’s a simple mission with a powerful and compelling message. A key ingredient to achieving our overall mission is delivering the most cost-effective and performant cloud infrastructure in the world. Be it network hardware, compute or storage infrastructure, or our global footprint of data centers, we want to innovate in this space like no other and deliver the best infrastructure on the planet. This is a bold goal. But if it were not bold, then it wouldn’t be us. Facebook designs, manufactures, delivers and operates its own cloud infrastructure. The product areas in which we innovate to deploy best in class equipment are compute servers, storage servers, database servers, network switches, fiber optic transceivers, transponders and cables, precision building infrastructure to support primary power distribution systems, backup power systems, and water and air filtration systems.
