Facebook's mission is to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together. Through our family of apps and services, we're building a different kind of company that connects billions of people around the world, gives them ways to share what matters most to them, and helps bring people closer together. Whether we're creating new products or helping a small business expand its reach, people at Facebook are builders at heart. Our global teams are constantly iterating, solving problems, and working together to empower people around the world to build community and connect in meaningful ways. Together, we can help people build stronger communities - we're just getting started.
Facebook connectivity (https://connectivity.fb.com/) is an initiative dedicated to bring more people online and to a faster internet. Two-thirds of people are not yet connected and making internet available to every person on earth is a goal too large and too important for any one company, group, or government to solve alone. Facebook Connectivity together with its partners have come together to meet this challenge because they believe in the power of a connected world. This role is an opportunity to be part of these initiatives by working with various parties in the ecosystem, service providers and vendors to name a few. The common goal is to deliver affordable and fast internet service to unconnected parts of the world.
