Infrastructure Capacity Planner, Demand Planning

The shape of it

In the posting’s own words

As an Infrastructure Capacity Planner on the Demand Planning team, you'll own the medium-range demand forecast for every resource class we consume: accelerators, CPU, storage, network, and managed services. Your forecast will support sourcing and purchasing, prioritization, efficiency targets, and workload optimization.

What it asks for · 3

• Direct experience with cloud or neocloud providers on reserved-capacity onboarding, private offers, or capacity commitments.
• Experience with accelerator health and burn-in, collective-communications sanity testing, or fleet-health SLOs, and the ability to define healthy rigorously.
• Experience building lifecycle or state-machine services, or systems of record for infrastructure assets.

Also a plus

• Direct experience with cloud or neocloud providers on reserved-capacity onboarding, private offers, or capacity commitments.
• Demand planning or forecasting experience for accelerator fleets, including translating research or product roadmaps into resource requirements.
• Data center or colocation delivery experience: power and space planning, network turn-up, site acceptance criteria, and vendor management.
• Experience with accelerator health and burn-in, collective-communications sanity testing, or fleet-health SLOs, and the ability to define healthy rigorously.
• Experience building lifecycle or state-machine services, or systems of record for infrastructure assets.
• Experience onboarding a new hardware generation into an existing scheduler and observability stack.

What the job covers

• Build and own the medium-range multi-resource demand forecast: accelerators by chip/interconnect class, CPU by shape, storage by tier and access pattern, egress by path, managed services by SKU — driven by model roadmap, RL/inference growth, eval volume, and retention policy rather than trend lines.
• Run the plan-vs-reality loop. Diff planned allocations against observed fleet occupancy weekly, surface unrecorded trades and stale allocations, and drive variance toward zero with our planning-tools and data teams.
• Qualify each incoming capacity tranche against the forecast before signature: right shape, region, quarter, and supporting-resource envelope (storage, egress, CPU).
• Partner with Finance and cost-efficiency teams to turn the forecast into core drivers covering the large majority (≥80%) of non-accelerator spend, and to aim savings work where waste will appear next.
