You’re right, we do know what they do. They probably work on the video game Beat Sabre. (recently bought by Facebook).

Facebook is a large company, and I hate them just fine; but I don’t hate all of their employees and not all of their employees are evil.

And now that it's bought guess what's the purpose of this game (hint: it's not about being a game, it's about collecting even more data and getting people addicted; the "game" part is just a side-effect).

At this point anyone that works at that toxic company is either naive or unethical. There's been way too many warning signs and incidents to figure out that anything they do is in one way or another to stalk people even more and waste their time with ads.
