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 r work will directly influence how Meta provisions, allocates, and optimizes compute, storage, and network resources across its data center fleet, enabling reliable and efficient operation of the platforms that connect people worldwide.
The Capacity Team at Meta is responsible for managing the growth and lifecycle of computing resources and data center capacity at Meta, as part of a global production footprint. The Data Center Capacity Engineer is responsible for planning and delivering the end‑to‑end server and hardware capacity requirements in a hyperscale data center campus. 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.
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 work streams in a dynamic operational environment. The successful candidate will be able to work independently and also within groups. This role will interact closely with many cross‑functional partners, including capacity and performance engineers, data scientists, optimization and process engineers, capacity planners, supply chain, logistics, finance, data center construction, facility operations, security, network engineering, network operations, hardware engineering, software engineering, and systems & tooling engineering.
DataCenter 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. Perform root cause analysis of complex technical and engineering issues and drive resolution.
- Create/improve global standards for processes, workflows, and automation roadmaps for software automation that facilitate deployment, maintenance, and decommissioning of server hardware at scale.
