Facebook has announced that it is to open an engineering office in London, and has begun initial recruitment for 22 engineers.
The new site will be Facebook’s first engineering office outside of the US – currently Facebook has locations in New York, Seattle and at its Menlo Park HQ.


Facebook software engineer Philip Su will head up the new office and wrote about the new location in a blog post: “We are a culture of builders, and the environment we plan to create in London will reflect that. Despite the size of our service – 900 million users and growing – we still push new code to the site every day. We eliminate unnecessary process and give all our engineers the opportunity to work on the things that matter most. Our engineers in London – like those in Menlo Park, New York, and Seattle – will be able to pursue great ideas and ship products quickly.”
