Meta builds technologies that help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses. The Design Producer will own end-to-end design and software production across Meta's Reality Labs device portfolio, orchestrating cross-functional execution at high craft and speed.
Responsibilities:
- Own end-to-end production of design and software experiences from concept through ship, managing scope, timelines, resourcing, and quality across the full development lifecycle
- Co-author production plans with the project lead, shaping scope, staffing, and strategic priorities based on user value and business goals
- Navigate hardware and software constraints and partner with engineering to make trade-off decisions that maintain a seamless user experience
- Assemble and lead sprint teams — small, cross-functional groups that form around a design challenge, execute at high craft, and reform
- Evaluate design quality and represent the design point of view in cross-functional forums, making creative calls when facing tight timelines or competing priorities
- Build and orchestrate AI-native tools and workflows that redesign the creative pipeline at a systems level
- Translate high-level strategy into executable roadmaps and product briefs that synthesize customer needs for cross-functional teams
- Gather and provide design and development feedback across internal teams and external partners
Requirements:
- 10+ years of experience in production, program management, or operational leadership within product design, hardware/software development, or a related creative/technical field
- Experience shipping consumer products that span hardware and software
- Track record managing complex, cross-functional productions end-to-end through the full development lifecycle
- Working knowledge of hardware/software integration and the ability to engage with engineering on system constraints and architecture decisions
- Experience with AI tools and workflows in a production or design operations context
- Experience evaluating design quality against defined standards and providing actionable, specific feedback to designers and cross-functional partners
- Background working in studio-model environments
- Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
- Experience building AI-powered tools or automations for creative or software production workflows
- Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
- Ability to articulate testable product hypotheses and translate strategy into actionable plans
- Comfort operating at the intersection of creative vision and technical software execution
- Familiarity with software development lifecycles, agile/sprint methodologies, and shipping software at scale
- Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
- Familiarity with AR/VR product development and the constraints of wearable or embedded software
- Understanding of software architecture, APIs, platform dependencies, and how design decisions impact engineering implementation
- Experience in a producer role within software development, film, fashion, industrial design, or consumer hardware
