It’s a pretty sure bet that almost everyone you know is using Facebook in one way or another.

Still, if you see your role on the list, start drawing up a resume.

18. Account executive

Salary: $62,617

While Facebook is a gigantic social network, it’s still able to run thanks to its role as an advertising platform. Account executives manage the most important of those business and advertising relationships.

Like most tech companies, they’re near the bottom of the barrel.

Salary: $77,544

Facebook pays its interns really well. It’s a good way to attract young talent to the company.

16. Site reliability engineer

Facebook isn’t making money or making its users happy if the site is down all the time. So Facebook has to hire a bunch of engineers who make sure everything stays online and running smoothly.

15. Recruiter

Salary: $92,143

Facebook also has to go up against some of the top tech firms in Silicon Valley to recruit talent. Like most tech companies, it hires recruiters specifically geared toward finding new and existing talent for the company.

14. Operations engineer

Salary: $99,010

Operations engineers are also working on site reliability, as well as reliability for a number of Facebook’s other important elements, like its databases and infrastructure. They keep things running smoothly.

12. New grad software engineer

Salary: $106,000

Right out of the gate, Facebook pays its software engineers six figures. If you’re just about to graduate from college, that can seem like a pretty attractive offer.

11. Software engineer

Salary: $118,454

Facebook needs smart people who can keep the business operations of the company running smoothly.

9. User interface engineer

Designers play an important role at Facebook, but most of the top-level design for the most important products appears to come from Mark Zuckerberg and from the top.

2. Senior software engineer

Salary: $148,593

Still, like most tech companies, the software engineers are the most valuable employees. It all starts with coders who are able to actualize ideas from people like Mark Zuckerberg and his executive leadership team.

Like Google, Facebook pays its most senior software engineers better than everyone else, because they’ve more or less proven themselves valuable to the company.

1. Engineering manager
