About the role

Meta is seeking a Data Center Capacity Engineer to help ensure our global data center infrastructure can meet the demands of billions of users across Meta's family of apps and services. In this role, you will analyze server and infrastructure capacity trends, model future demand, and partner with hardware, network, and site operations teams to plan and deliver capacity at scale.

Responsibilities

• Own accountability for the three capacity workflows (receiving, moves, decommissioning), facilitating collaboration among various cross-functional partners to meet capacity demands
• Collaborate with key stakeholders and partners to develop a strategy and drive initiatives that lead to meaningful improvements in support of data center operations
• Maintain consistent touchpoints with key XFN partners across data centers
• Analyze business capacity demands and translate that data into local plans to enable rapid delivery of capacity to the data center
• Plan, lead and collaborate with cross-functional data center teams to deliver complex data center infrastructure capacity projects in support of Meta’s growth, considering the interdependencies of production resiliency, power, cooling, network, server and application layers
