Meta is hiring a Concept Modeling Designer!

You get to be a geometry-creation magician in whatever CAD packages and/or styles of modelling (facets, sub-divisional, classical nurbs, etc.) you prefer. Just go fast. You'll be in our open-space studio, side-by-side with designers building the next generation of hardware shipped worldwide by a multi-national corporation, intuiting their directions, taking in conversations, sketches, screenshots, CAD, whatever. Chase all the options (even your own, but ego left at home) to find the right solution.
