Facebook (FB) has hired a teenager fresh out of high school.
Michael Sayman, 18, announced that he had landed the job via Facebook. He will join the company’s team as a full-time engineer. The social media website backed up Sayman’s claim that it had hired him, but refused to say anymore about it, reports Bloomberg.
Sayman started at Facebook with a summer internship. He was brought out to meet CEO Mark Zuckerberg and start his internship after the company noticed he was using its tools for developers in an Apple (
AAPL) iPhone app that he had developed, Bloomberg notes.
The app created by Sayman with the company’s tools for developers that drew Mark Zuckerberg’s attention is 4 Snaps. 4 Snaps is a mobile game that has roughly 500,000 players, reports ValueWalk.
“When I got the email saying — oh my god — Mark Zuckerberg wants to meet you, I had to make sure nobody was playing a prank on me,” Sayman told Bloomberg earlier this summer.”It was just incredible to be able to meet him.”
