I'm on Github and I'm also on Facebook, but I don't work for either of them, and I don't think either of those statements is in any way confusing. I think the confusion is due to the use of the term scaling. Github has 37 million users, so 'scaling' it by another 25k is kind of meaningless.

Having said that we know Microsoft owns Github. If the same article had come out in relation to Apple we'd immediately know what it was talking about without any confusion.

Are you a lead engineer on Facebook? I am. I don't work for Facebook but they host my baby photos. I think it's a little confusing.

If you worked for the company, I'd usually expect 'lead engineer at Facebook'.

The adjective "lead" would be somewhat diluted if there were 25k of them?
