INTRODUCTION

Meta is seeking an Infrastructure Compliance Lead to drive security compliance and risk governance across our data center infrastructure. In this role, you will own the strategy and execution of compliance programs, ensuring regulatory readiness across our global network and data center infrastructure, including subsea cable systems, terrestrial backbone, edge sites, and owned and leased data centers.

Infrastructure Compliance Lead Responsibilities:

• Drive external certification programs including SOC2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, and subsea licensing. Coordinate evidence collection, manage auditor engagements, and minimize operational disruption to engineering teams
• Manage government and regulatory response end-to-end — including inquiries, regulatory exams, and site inspections at Cable Landing Stations, Network Operations Centers, and data center facilities. Serve as subject matter expert for US and international regulatory bodies
• Own independent 2LoD oversight across data centers — building risk identification frameworks, control monitoring systems, and compliance-by-design processes while providing credible challenge to first-line control owners through testing, gap assessments, and posture reporting to leadership

Minimum Qualifications:

• Ability to translate complex technical infrastructure into defensible compliance narratives for regulators, auditors, and non-technical stakeholders
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
• Experience managing audits, certifications (ISO 27001, SOC2, PCI-DSS), or government regulatory engagements
• Experience coordinating compliance initiatives across global, distributed engineering teams, including aligning stakeholders, tracking deliverables, and driving programs to completion
• Knowledge of network infrastructure: subsea cable systems, terrestrial fiber, Edge architecture, and general networking
• 7+ years of experience in compliance, risk management, or audit with demonstrated program ownership in infrastructure or telecom environments

Preferred Qualifications:

• Direct experience with telecom or subsea regulatory frameworks (e.g., FCC, submarine cable licensing, international telecom regulations)
• Experience building second line of defense or independent oversight functions
• Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
• Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
• Familiarity with hyperscaler data center operations and infrastructure at scale
• Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
