Cloud Infrastructure Capacity Engineer | Forecasting & Automation

We're seeking a Cloud Infrastructure Capacity Engineer to help manage the growth and efficiency of a large private cloud infrastructure environment.

This is an engineering role focused heavily on capacity modeling, forecasting, infrastructure analytics, automation, and resource optimization.

You'll help bridge the gap between application teams and infrastructure management by translating business and technical requirements into infrastructure capacity plans.

The Role

You'll be responsible for helping answer critical infrastructure questions:

  • How much compute capacity will we need six months or years from now?
  • Are our existing compute and storage resources being utilized effectively?
  • When should additional infrastructure be purchased?
  • Where can capacity be reclaimed or optimized?
  • What infrastructure requirements should be included in future deployments?
  • Are current capacity levels creating a potential performance or availability risk?

Key Responsibilities

  • Build and automate capacity planning and forecasting tools
  • Create models to predict long-range infrastructure growth
  • Analyze compute and storage utilization
  • Support private cloud VM and container capacity management
  • Forecast data center requirements including power, racks, and cooling
  • Validate infrastructure designs, procurement requirements, and bills of materials
  • Partner with compute, storage, and network engineers
  • Support infrastructure quotes, funding requests, and procurement activities
  • Maintain infrastructure capacity planning frameworks and inventory
  • Provide recommendations around infrastructure scaling and future growth
  • Identify opportunities to improve infrastructure efficiency and reduce waste
  • Support finance teams with future technology demand and budget planning
  • Document and communicate process improvements
  • Work across engineering teams to resolve capacity-related blockers

Ideal Background

  • 3-5+ years in infrastructure engineering, capacity planning, infrastructure analytics, or a related area
  • Experience with cloud/private cloud environments
  • Knowledge of compute platforms, virtualization, storage, and networking
  • Experience with forecasting, modeling, utilization analysis, or infrastructure planning
  • Strong analytical skills and comfort working with data
  • Experience developing or automating tools and processes
  • Comfortable working with multiple technical teams and stakeholders

This is a strong opportunity for someone who enjoys the engineering and analytical side of cloud infrastructure and wants to work on capacity at enterprise scale.

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