Since Early 2003 Greg Badros has been working for Google and has worked his way up the chain to a Senior Director of Engineering position. Now at Facebook, his official title will be Director of Engineering aswell. Badros was in charge of the AdSense (Google’s advertising platform) engineering team from around 2004, eventually becoming the leader of also the Google Calendar, Google Reader and Gmail teams. Since March 2009 he has led the Application Platform group.
The interesting thing is that he led the AdSense group, as Facebook is currently attempting to better monetize its service, and what better person to hire for the job?
