• Data center power, rack, and cooling capacity planning
• Infrastructure procurement and capacity validation
• Resource optimization and reclamation
• Infrastructure scaling and augmentation
• Automation of capacity planning processes and tools

Responsibilities

• Work with application and infrastructure teams to understand future capacity requirements
• Build forecasting models for long-term infrastructure growth
• Develop automated tools to improve capacity planning and analysis
• Measure performance and utilization across deployed compute and storage resources
• Analyze capacity trends and identify potential risks
• Recommend infrastructure scaling and optimization strategies
• Validate infrastructure designs and procurement requirements
• Partner with compute, storage, and network engineering teams
• Review bills of materials and infrastructure deliverables
• Support quotes, funding requests, and procurement tracking
• Assist finance teams with infrastructure budgeting
• Maintain capacity planning frameworks and infrastructure inventories
• Identify opportunities to improve processes, tools, and technologies
• Communicate capacity findings and recommendations to technical stakeholders

Qualifications

• 3-5+ years of relevant experience
• Background in infrastructure engineering, capacity planning, cloud infrastructure, or infrastructure analytics
• Experience with cloud/private cloud technologies
• Understanding of compute, virtualization, storage, and networking
• Experience with forecasting, modeling, utilization analysis, or resource planning
