Research Scientist, Server Demand
Meta runs one of the largest server fleets on earth, and every product bet (AI training, ranking, inference, storage) turns into a demand for compute that we must forecast, shape, and match to a physical supply of servers, racks, power, and data center space. As the senior technical owner of Server Demand Planning, you own the demand side of that equation and close the loop with supply: you forecast long- and near-term server capacity demand by rack/hardware type and region, and you build the operations-research models that match that demand to supply so we land the right servers, in the right place, at the right time. You set the modeling approach for the function, decide when to ship a production-grade optimization system versus a fast lightweight model to unblock a decision, and act as the connective tissue between product/service capacity owners, capacity engineering, supply chain, data center planning, and finance.
