Meta is planning to expand its operations in India and is currently seeking talent for its enterprise engineering team at its Bengaluru center. This team will manage Meta’s internal tools, according to a report by Tech Crunch. The fact that Meta is beginning to view India as an engineering hub is a positive development, indicating growing opportunities for the country’s youth.
Recently, Meta laid off five percent of its workforce due to underperformance, making the new hiring initiatives in India particularly encouraging for engineering talent in the region. While the company’s other offices in Mumbai, Gurugram, New Delhi, and Hyderabad have limited openings for tech positions, the Bengaluru center is looking to fill 41 engineering roles, which include opportunities in machine learning, software engineering, and chip design for Meta’s data centers.
Additionally, Meta has announced a vacancy for an engineering director who will be responsible for assembling and leading the India engineering team. Earlier this month, the company attracted attention by stating its intention to adopt a strict approach towards underperformers, resulting in layoffs. Meta announced plans to invest more heavily in artificial intelligence this year and revealed that approximately five percent of its workforce across 12 countries, totaling around 4,000 employees, would be laid off.
