**Intro:** 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. **Summary:** Our team is designing and implementing systems for catching software bugs automatically before they reach 2 billion (and growing) WhatsApp's users.Many of our systems are already in production catching real software bugs daily.The WhatsApp Dev Infra team provides infrastructure and platform for testing, static analysis, and continuous integration. We also provide testing frameworks, especially in the area of end-to-end UI testing.Scalability is the key challenge. Our mission is to provide tools with capacity requirements growing sublinearly in terms of the number of tests and code changes (see test selection and code change batching below). Our infrastructure is used daily by hundreds of colleagues at whatsApp, with hundreds of code changes tested and integrated per day. **Required Skills:** 1. Designing and implementing Test Infra systems end to end 2. Providing guidance on system, API, library and database schema design to team members 3.
