Collectively and globally, these roles plan and build one of the largest Internet services in the world with tens of billions of user requests, tens of exabytes of data, thousands of gigabits per second of network traffic, while maintaining operational and resource allocation efficiency. The Capacity Engineer will drive planning, ownership, and delivery of capacity within our data center locations. Demonstrated project management experience, including planning, tracking, and delivering complex infrastructure projects, and infrastructure engineering knowledge are required as this role manages complex infrastructure projects within the data center, often in parallel; including capacity planning, receiving, moving, and decommissioning.The candidate should be able to adapt to shifting priorities and manage concurrent workstreams in a dynamic operational environment.

Data Center Capacity Engineer 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
  • Build cross-functional relationships and have the ability to influence policies and procedures to improve regional/global data center operations
  • Develop and share best practices across all global data centers for all elements of capacity while creating a culture of innovation, collaboration, accountability, continuous improvement, and safety
  • Drive alignment and execution of key capacity strategic, engineering, and operational initiatives across functional partners at the data center. Ensure operational consistency, to scale operations efficiently and effectively
  • Lead data analytics, metrics, and the interpretation of a complex environment to identify inefficiencies, opportunities, exceptions, and correlations, and proactively respond before they impact data center uptime and utilization.

  • Familiarity with data center power and cooling constraints, and their impact on server density and capacity planning decisions
  • Ability to communicate effectively, in a clear and concise manner, appropriately tailoring messages to multiple audiences
  • Demonstrated ability to solve complex problems and to deliver at scale

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Master's degree in an engineering discipline
  • Proficiency in programming and scripting languages such as SQL, R, Python, Bash, or other programming languages
