Description For Planning & Capacity Engineer
Meta is seeking an experienced Planning & Capacity Engineer to join their Infrastructure Supply Chain and Engineering (ISCE) Planning team. This role represents a unique opportunity to impact Meta's global infrastructure operations through sophisticated supply chain optimization.
The position combines software engineering expertise with supply chain management, focusing on creating and optimizing supply chain plans for Meta's vast infrastructure needs - from servers and data centers to network equipment. The role involves managing billions in investment annually through software and mathematical optimization models rather than manual planning.
As a Planning & Capacity Engineer, you'll be responsible for developing complex optimization algorithms and software systems that balance capacity, flexibility, supply, and cost across Meta's infrastructure supply chain. You'll work with cutting-edge technology, including advanced AI systems, and manage infrastructure planning for millions of servers and gigawatts of data center capacity.
The role is highly cross-functional, requiring collaboration with various engineering teams, finance, and business units. You'll be involved in critical decision-making processes that directly impact Meta's infrastructure growth and efficiency. Your work will involve building mathematical models for simulation and optimization, analyzing large datasets, and making strategic recommendations that influence executive decisions.
Key technical aspects include:
- Developing optimization algorithms and software systems
- Working with distributed systems at scale
- Programming in languages such as Python, Java, C++, and PHP
- Creating mathematical models for supply chain optimization
- Managing complex data analysis and scenario planning
The ideal candidate will bring together technical expertise in software engineering, strong analytical capabilities, and practical experience in supply chain management. This role offers the opportunity to work on challenging technical problems while driving significant business impact at one of the world's leading technology companies.
Benefits include competitive compensation ($147,000-$208,000/year), bonus potential, equity grants, and comprehensive benefits package. This position is based in Fremont, CA, and offers the chance to work on infrastructure systems that power Meta's family of apps and services used by billions of people globally.
