Facebook VP of engineering Jay Parikh says he is leaving company

SAN FRANCISCO – Facebook’s vice president of engineering, Jay Parikh, said in a post on the social network on Tuesday that he was planning to leave the company, marking the exit of another key executive following a string of high-profile departures last year.

“I’ll be focussed on the transition for the next few months. I don’t have any immediate plans thereafter,” wrote Parikh, who has been with the company since 2009.
