Facebook parent Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:FB) is making another change in its leadership, with its top engineer reportedly stepping down.
David Mortenson, in charge of Meta's data centers and core infrastructure, is exiting that role, The Verge reports.
That follows closely on the announced departure of Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg, long part of the company's inner circle of execs.
Santosh Janardhan, a VP of engineering who reports to Mortenson, will take over his role later this month. Mortenson isn't leaving the company for the moment, but will take a long break.
Mortenson has been at Meta for 11 years in various engineering leadership roles and took the top job about two years ago.
Meta's head of artificial intelligence, Jerome Pesenti, is also exiting his role later this month amid a companywide AI integration.
