Full Job Description
Role Scope
  • Model IT and hardware capacity across the pipeline: what compute, network, and support gear each site needs and when.
  • Reconcile demand against orders, inventory, and lead times, and flag the gap before it hits a schedule.
  • Build the capacity views planning and procurement run on, refreshed automatically.
  • Chase discrepancies to ground: a miscounted rack now is a missed energization later.
What We're Looking For
  • The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.
  • You've done capacity, demand, or supply planning for hardware-heavy operations.
  • You've built models in SQL or spreadsheets that survived contact with messy source data.
  • You reconcile relentlessly: your numbers tie out or you know exactly why not.
  • You translate an analysis into an action: order now, shift that, escalate this.
  • You automate refreshes rather than rebuilding by hand.
  • Bonus: Data center or hardware supply chains. ERP data. Python. Forecasting methods.


We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
