# Research Scientist, Server Demand Forecasting

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 principal technical leader for Server Demand Planning across Infrastructure, you own the demand side of the plan and the feasible supply requirements it drives: 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 Meta's technical approach to server demand planning, decide when to ship a production-grade optimization system versus a fast lightweight model to unblock a decision, and set direction across product/service capacity owners, capacity engineering, supply chain, data center planning, and finance, partnering directly with org leaders and growing the technical bench behind you.Responsibilities Own the multi-horizon server/MW demand forecast long range (2-5+ years), by resource type and region, and the DC supply requirements i
