Meta is seeking a Performance & Capacity Engineer to join the Capacity Planning Optimization Engineering team to lead software systems and process design. You will build and optimize infrastructure capacity planning covering all of Meta, in one of our largest transformations to date of how we plan and manage infrastructure capacity. This is a hands on leadership role, building some of complex parts of the system yourself while leading other engineers and non-technical contributors. You will be in one of the most cross-functional roles at the company, with the opportunity to work with a variety of engineering and business teams at the intersection of all Meta products and services (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, etc), all physical infrastructure (Servers, Data Centers, Network), and product business goals (AI, Metaverse, etc). You will be uniquely positioned to optimize these capacity plans at strategic levels with company level impact, with your output used at the CxO level for key strategic decisions, as well as providing execution guidance for infrastructure and product teams. To do this, you will partner across technical and business orgs to design the right solutions and lead engineers to build effective technical and process solutions to transform Meta's capacity planning process to be software driven, highly flexible, agile, and ROI Driven. You will connect business strategy with software-driven modeling of detailed service, platform, and infrastructure considerations for executable plans. Contribute to building and scaling Meta's global infrastructure and internet services! This position is full-time.
Responsibilities
Own infrastructure capacity planning for all of Meta: all software products/services and plans for how to scale server and data center resources most efficiently Partner across the engineering technical landscape to optimize at the intersection of hardware, infrastructure, and software.
