Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in technical program management, infrastructure planning, capacity management, or a related discipline at a cloud-scale technology company.
• Demonstrated experience managing programs across multiple cloud providers (AWS, Azure, and/or GCP).
• Strong understanding of cloud infrastructure concepts: compute, storage, networking, containerization, and resource orchestration.

• Build and improve forecasting models and frameworks that translate business growth signals, customer onboarding patterns, and workload trends into actionable infrastructure capacity plans.
• Establish governance and review cadences — own weekly/monthly capacity reviews with engineering leadership, surface risks and tradeoffs, and drive decisions on resource allocation and prioritization.
• Identify and mitigate capacity risks proactively — monitor utilization trends, flag bottlenecks, single points of failure, and lead constraint resolution before they become customer-impacting.
• Partner closely with engineering teams to understand workload characteristics, architecture changes, and new feature launches that affect capacity requirements.
• Drive efficiency and optimization programs — identify opportunities to reduce waste, improve utilization, and right-size infrastructure spend without compromising performance or availability.
• Develop dashboards, metrics, and reporting that give leadership real-time visibility into capacity health, spend trajectory, and delivery timelines.
• Influence infrastructure strategy by providing data-driven recommendations on cloud provider mix, reserved vs. on-demand strategy, and long-term capacity investments.
