Meta is seeking a Performance & Capacity Engineer to join the Capacity Planning and Optimization Engineering (CPOE) team to focus on site-wide performance and capacity optimization at the intersection of all Meta products and services, and all physical infrastructure (Servers, Data Centers, Network). This role will focus on creating and optimizing capacity plans at various altitudes to balance capacity, power, and cost, in an environment of continual product introduction, directly managing billions of investment annually. We do this primarily by building software and mathematical optimization models, not manual planning. This role will be uniquely positioned to optimize these capacity plans and scalably manage exceptions to drive company-level infrastructure decisions. This role requires collaboration across many engineering and business teams, with the opportunity to work with a variety of engineering and business teams to power the rapid growth of Meta’s products. This role will help to ensure optimal operation of our infrastructure from both a cost and technology perspective, with millions of servers, Gigawatts of data center capacity, and current and emerging technology including AI, Metaverse, etc. Help build and scale Meta's global infrastructure fleet!
