Capacity Engineer @ Remote (CA & TX candidate only) Only Fulltime

Title : Capacity Engineer Location: Remote (CA & TX) Type : FulltimeJob Description- A Capacity Engineer (SRE) is seeking a specialized Site Reliability Engineering role focused on ensuring infrastructure meets user demand efficiently, balancing performance with cost. They forecast growth, analyze usage trends, and automate resource provisioning (e.g., using Prometheus, Grafana, Harness IaCM) to prevent outages, over-provisioning, or under-provisioning.Key Responsibilities & Focus AreasDemand Forecasting: Analyzing historical patterns to predict future resource needs (CPU, memory, storage).Load Testing & Scaling: Simulating traffic spikes to identify bottlenecks and ensure systems scale linearly.Cost Efficiency: Optimizing resource allocation to avoid over-provisioning (avoiding unnecessary costs) while maintaining service availability.Automation: Using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform to automate scaling and infrastructure provisioning.Architecture Review: Collaborating with software teams to flag single points of failure and ensure resilient service design.Tools & TechniquesMonitoring & Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog for metrics.Chaos Engineering: Testing system resilience under stress.Infrastructure as Code: Terraform, Ansible, Harness Why it MattersCapacity planning prevents the "unexpected" in production by preparing for both expected traffic growth and sudden, unexpected surges. It serves as a vital bridge between software development and infrastructure, ensuring that reliability (SLOs) and cost-efficiency are maintained simultaneouslyThanks & Regards, Yogesh KumarEmail- yogesh.kumar@applabsystems.com Phone - +1 609 629 2046 (USA)AppLab Systems, Inc: An E-Verified CompanyURL: https://applabsystems.com/ 4365 Route 1 South, Suite 105 - Princeton, NJ -08540
