Cloud Capacity Engineer | Private Cloud Infrastructure

We're looking for a Cloud Capacity Engineer to join a growing infrastructure engineering team supporting private cloud platforms and enterprise-scale systems.

This role sits at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, capacity planning, forecasting, data analysis, and automation. You'll help determine how much compute, storage, networking, power, rack space, and cooling capacity is needed to support future growth.

You'll work closely with application development teams, infrastructure engineers, operations, procurement, and finance to make sure infrastructure capacity aligns with business and technology demands.

What You'll Do

  • Build and automate tools for infrastructure capacity planning, forecasting, and sizing
  • Develop forecasting models to predict long-term growth of computing resources
  • Analyze utilization and performance of compute and storage environments
  • Support capacity planning for private cloud environments, including VMs and containers
  • Help determine data center power, rack, and cooling requirements
  • Validate infrastructure procurement requirements using models and architecture designs
  • Partner with compute, storage, and network engineering teams on infrastructure designs and bills of materials
  • Support infrastructure scaling, future growth, and capacity augmentation decisions
  • Identify underutilized resources and opportunities for improved efficiency
  • Partner with finance on capacity planning and future technology budgets
  • Evaluate capacity data and thresholds to identify potential performance or availability risks
  • Develop and maintain infrastructure capacity planning frameworks and inventory
  • Automate processes and identify opportunities to improve infrastructure planning

What We're Looking For

  • Approximately 3-5+ years of hands-on experience in infrastructure analytics, capacity planning, forecasting, or related engineering
  • Experience working with cloud or private cloud infrastructure
  • Understanding of compute, virtualization, storage, and networking
  • Experience with data analysis, modeling, forecasting, or capacity management
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Experience automating tools or processes
  • Ability to work cross-functionally with application and infrastructure engineering teams

If you enjoy using data and engineering to answer "How much infrastructure do we need, when will we need it, and how can we use it more efficiently?" this could be a great opportunity.

GCS is acting as an Employment Business in relation to this vacancy.
