Facebook VP of Engineering Jay Parikh Is Leaving the Company

He will be succeeded by David Mortenson

Facebook vice president of engineering Jay Parikh is leaving the company after a little over 10 years.

Parikh revealed the news in a Facebook post Tuesday, saying that he will spend the next few months at the social network to assist with the transition, and he does not have any immediate plans.

Facebook confirmed that Parikh will be succeeded on the infrastructure side by vp of engineering David Mortenson, who has been with the social network since April 2011, while the rest of his responsibilities will be spread among several other leaders of the company’s engineering team.

Parikh joined Facebook in November 2009 after spending two years as senior vp of engineering and operations at social networking website platform Ning Interactive.
