The CDN Capacity & Infrastructure Manager, Infrastructure Services joins the Edge Services team within the Information Systems and Technology organization. This role is responsible for owning capacity planning, forecasting, and infrastructure health across a global content delivery network. The manager will build and maintain dashboards, develop predictive capacity models, and lead demand forecasting for high-concurrency traffic events like live sports streaming and major OS releases. Key responsibilities include coordinating hardware procurement with vendors, analyzing bandwidth utilization across edge nodes, and managing fleet lifecycle execution. The position requires expertise in CDN architecture, network engineering, and data analysis using SQL, scripting, and observability stacks like Splunk, ClickHouse, and Grafana. The role solves the technical challenge of balancing infrastructure headroom with cost-effective utilization across global data centers.

What you'll do

  • Own end-to-end capacity planning and forecasting models for CDN edge and origin infrastructure across short, medium, and long-term horizons.
  • Analyze traffic patterns and bandwidth utilization across global points of presence to identify and mitigate capacity risks.
  • Partner with engineering teams to plan and execute hardware deployments, decommissions, and regional capacity rebalancing.
  • Build and maintain dashboards to track infrastructure utilization, headroom, and forecast accuracy against actual traffic.
  • Lead capacity readiness reviews and stress testing ahead of major product launches and high-concurrency traffic events.
  • Coordinate with vendors and colocation partners on hardware procurement, lead times, and site buildouts.
  • Develop capacity models that account for traffic imbalance, failover scenarios, and regional redundancy requirements.
  • Drive root-cause analysis on capacity-related incidents and present risk recommendations to engineering leadership.

What we're looking for

  • 6+ years of experience in capacity planning, infrastructure engineering, or network operations in CDN, cloud, or large-scale distributed systems.
  • Experience forecasting infrastructure capacity using traffic and usage data.
  • Understanding of CDN architecture fundamentals including edge/PoP design, caching, traffic routing, and origin shielding.
  • Experience using monitoring and analytics tooling to track utilization and performance metrics.
  • Track record of coordinating cross-functionally with network engineering, SRE, and vendor/procurement teams.
  • Familiarity with time-series forecasting methods or capacity modeling tools (preferred).
  • Data analysis skills using SQL and/or scripting to build forecasting models and reporting (preferred).
  • Bachelor’s degree in CS, EE, or related field, or equivalent practical experience (preferred).
