What You'll Do

• Assign power, space, and rack capacity to incoming deployment requests; maintain allocation and reservation records.
• Maintain and update capacity models for power, space, cooling, cabinet, and structured cabling/port availability across all sites.
• Track fiber port capacity, utilization, and projected consumption across MDF and IDF locations — available vs. in-use patch panel ports, by site, by room, and by panel.
• Track vendor and carrier cross-connect port usage across PoP and DC facilities, including quantity in service, media/connector type, and growth against contracted or available positions.
• Submit expansion demand to DC Build ahead of fiber port or cross-connect exhaustion.
• Produce recurring capacity reporting and dashboards; surface constraint and threshold-breach risks to the DC Management.
• Translate server/storage/network demand forecasts into rack-level deployment plans and site allocation recommendations.
• Partner with Deployment Engineering and DC Ops on rack elevations, placement, and burn-down of installed vs. reserved capacity.
• Maintain data accuracy in DCIM/asset systems; drive reconciliation between DCIM, AssetDB, and physical audits.
• Support colo expansion and site build inputs: requirements gathering, capacity validation, and tracking of contracted vs. consumed power.
• Contribute to automation of reporting and data collection.
• Proven experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows and processes, improve efficiency and drive business outcomes.

Qualifications

• US Citizen or Green Card Holder.
• 2–5 years in data center capacity planning, DC operations, infrastructure engineering, or related.
• Working knowledge of DC power distribution (UPS, RPP PDU, branch circuits, A/B feeds, redundancy models N+1/2N), cooling, and rack/space planning.
• Strong Excel/Google Sheets modeling.
• Experience with a DCIM platform (Nlyte, Sunbird, Device42, or similar) and BI tooling (Tableau, Power BI, Grafana).
• Ability to interpret rack elevations, one-lines, and floor plans.

Bonus Points

• Hyperscale or large colo environment experience; multi-region footprint.
• Familiarity with network capacity concepts (port/fabric/uplink utilization).
• Experience tracking cross-connect inventory in a DCIM or IPAM system.

Benefits

• Market leader in compensation and equity awards.
