Meta is losing its longtime head of infrastructure

Santosh Janardhan, Meta's longtime head of infrastructure and co-head of engineering, is leaving the company. He will be replaced by Dave Brown, who joined Meta earlier this year as vice president of infrastructure after 19 years at Amazon focusing on compute, cloud, and AI. Janardhan, who joined Meta in 2009, will stay on for a transition period and move into an advisory role on Meta Compute before departing next year. The reasons for his departure are unclear, though his internal memo cited the need to "pass the baton." The change comes as Meta significantly increases infrastructure investments to compete in the AI race.
