Rajeev Rajan first came to the Seattle area as a Microsoft intern in 1994, and ended up staying with the company for 23 years. Four years into a new career at Facebook, Rajan is working to bring other engineers to the region to continue to grow the social media giant’s sizable hub of more than 7,000 employees.
Rajan is currently vice president of engineering and head of
Facebook login for the Pacific Northwest, the second largest engineering hub for the company outside of Silicon Valley. He started at the company on its Marketplace platform, supporting engineering before moving to support the video engineering team.
Rajan — who replaced Vijaye Raji in leading the thousands of Facebook employs who work in the region — is not slowing down the company’s amazing growth spurt in the past 11 years. “We are going to be looking for real estate all over the place,” he said.
