  • Expertise in compute capacity planning at scale, including demand forecasting and utilization policies.
  • Hyperscale or SaaS background with deep understanding of compute architecture and network hardware.
  • Broad infrastructure literacy across compute, networking, security, and data center constraints.
  • Strong analytical skills using tools like Python, SQL, Excel for building and validating capacity models.
