Since March 2009, he has led the Application Platform group in Google. It seems like Facebook is planning to tremendously monetize its services. Badros will report to Mike Schroepfer who is a VP of Engineering (he too was hired from Mozilla by Facebook).

Before Google, Badros used to work at Go2Net which was later acquired by InfoSpace. He continued working there and so has served as the Chief Technical Architect at both companies. Here is Facebook’s official statement statement on Greg Badros:

“Greg Badros has joined Facebook as a director of engineering, reporting to Mike Schroepfer. Greg is one of the most accomplished engineering talents at Google, and it’s wonderful that he has decided to bring these talents to Facebook and take on numerous responsibilities across the engineering organization.”
