Want to create products that more than 750 million people around the world use? Want to build new features and improve existing products like Photos, Video, Places, NewsFeed, Search, Mobile and Messaging? Want to solve unique, large-scale, highly complex technical problems?

Our development cycle is extremely fast, and we've built tools to keep it that way. It's common to write code and have it running live on the site just a few days later. This comes as a pleasant surprise to engineers who have worked at other companies where code takes months or years to see the light of day. If you work for us, you will make an impact, immediately.

Facebook is seeking interns/co-ops to join our engineering team. You can help build the next generation of systems behind Facebook's products, create web applications that reach millions of people, build high volume servers and be a part of a team that’s working to help people connect with each other around the globe.

This internship/co-op opportunity is a twelve (12) week duration, based at our HQ in Menlo Park, California.
