Requesting 3 contingent senior engineers for Facebook Live creation oncall and production support. We still own and support Live creation surfaces, but dedicated staffing was removed, leaving a high visibility consumer surface with real SEV exposure and no funded support model. Every incident today pulls senior engineers off committed H2 roadmap work. Contingent rather than permanent headcount because a longer term Live ownership decision is under review, and three is the minimum for a sustainable rotation without a single point of failure. These need to be senior and independent, as we have no onboarding bandwidth to ramp them.Name of FTE:Kaan Avci Leave Type (medical, FMLA, etc): Medical LeaveFTE Cost Center: 004564 Facebook Creators x Facebook Software EngineeringStart Date of FTE Leave: 8/28/2026End Date of FTE Leave: 11/29/2026Name of FTE: Jon LinLeave Type (medical, FMLA, etc): Parental Leave FTE Cost Center: 004564 Facebook Creators x Facebook Software EngineeringStart Date of FTE Leave: 7/1/2026End Date of FTE Leave: 1/11/2027
