Life at Meta

10/21/2026

Think you need a computer science degree to work at a tech company? The team running Meta's Cheyenne data center came from electrical work, food manufacturing, commissioning, and industrial controls. Here's how they got here:

💬 "I always thought working at a tech company was outside of my reach. But the controls experience I built at Smucker's translates directly. You don't have to be a software engineer to work at Meta." — Rafael, Critical Facility Engineer

💬 "I came in as a Critical Facility Engineer. Ten months later, I've stepped into a Lead Building Engineer role. Nobody put guardrails on that — they just said 'nice, keep going.'" — Gabe, Critical Facility Engineer

The common thread was never a degree. It was technical fundamentals, work ethic, and a willingness to keep learning. If you've got the skills and the drive, there's a place for you here.

"A career is not like a single line. You can change, you can shift shape and form, but you will always be you." – Rubi, Clinical Operations Lead

When Rubi told people she was leaving her hospital job for research, most of them said she was making a mistake. Walking away from years of medical training isn't easy, especially in a field where most assume the hospital is the only option. But one friend encouraged her to try it anyway.

Today it’s her full-time job at Meta, where she’s a Clinical Operations Lead on our Health Technologies team, working alongside scientists and engineers.

Growing up on the border between Mexico and the United States meant living between cultures and languages. That unique experience taught her to adapt quickly, solve problems creatively, and build connections across diverse backgrounds. Rubi credits it for how she works: caring for the people around her, creativity, and resilience.

PyTorch started at Meta. Ten years later, it's the framework behind a huge share of the world's AI research and production systems . We're bringing our team to the PyTorch Conference right here in the Bay Area in San Jose.

📍 October 20–21, 2026 | San Jose Convention Center | Booth D4

Nearly 40 sessions on this year's program feature Meta engineers and researchers. A few we're especially excited about:
🎤 Keynote: PyTorch at Meta — From Internal Workloads to Multi-Silicon Ecosystem
🧠 How PyTorch Powers Open Foundational Models — From Language to Vision
🔬 From Neurons to Atoms: How PyTorch Powers Open Science at Scale

The talks are only half of it. The rest happens on the floor. Come find our team at Booth D4 in the Community Expo and ask them the questions a conference talk doesn't have time for.

You may have an idea of what it’s like working at a data center. Maybe you’re working at one now so you know what the day-today usually looks like But at Meta's Cheyenne site, it's built differently.

We asked our team what sets it apart:
💬 "From day one, you have access to all of Meta's tools. Most places withhold things until they decide they 'trust you enough' — here, you're fully equipped from the start." — Rafael, Critical Facility Engineer

💬 "They treat you like a professional — not just a pair of hands." — Josh, Electrical Subject Matter Expert

💬 "I came from another hyperscaler, and I can tell you: it's not the same everywhere." — Gabe, Critical Facility Engineer

Trust on day one. Ownership over real work. A team that operates like one. That's the difference — and it's all right here in Cheyenne.
