Qualifications

• 12+ years of experience in software engineering, infrastructure systems, operations research, data science, capacity planning, or a related technical field.
• 8+ years of people management experience, including experience managing managers or multidisciplinary technical teams.
• Experience leading technical organizations that build production systems, data platforms, forecasting models, optimization systems, or infrastructure planning tools.
• Experience applying modeling, optimization, simulation, forecasting, or statistical methods to large-scale operational or infrastructure problems.
• Experience partnering across engineering, operations, finance, planning, and program management teams to deliver measurable business and infrastructure outcomes.
• Experience setting strategy, defining roadmaps, and driving execution across multiple teams or workstreams.
• Communication experience influencing senior technical and business stakeholders on complex infrastructure tradeoffs

Responsibilities

• Define the long-term strategy, roadmap, and operating model for data-driven power planning and utilization across Meta’s data center infrastructure.
• Build data models that represent power consumption, constraints, utilization, and reliability across data centers, capacity planning systems, and fulfillment workflows.
• Develop mathematical, statistical, and simulation-based models to predict power utilization, demand, risk, reliability, and available headroom across the fleet.
• Build production systems that use model outputs to inform fulfillment decisions and improve power allocation, infrastructure readiness, and capacity utilization.
• Partner with data center engineering, capacity planning, supply chain, finance, hardware, network, and infrastructure operations teams to translate power insights into execution plans.
• Lead efficiency programs that improve end-to-end infrastructure metrics, including cycle time, utilization, cost, reliability, and operational throughput.
• Establish metrics, review mechanisms, and decision systems that help Meta make tradeoffs across power availability, reliability, capacity delivery, and business demand.
