We are looking for an experienced data engineer who will help us to make improvements in the capacity planning process.  Your expertise will help to guide multiple workflows and have an impact on company growth.

In this role, you will use your awesome data engineering skills to come up with solutions to complex and unique data problems. You will be involved in figuring out optimal CDN expansion plans, overseeing effects of the changes into hardware and software used at the edge, analyzing tides of customer’s traffic, and be responsible for a data processing suite that makes all of that possible. 

Upcoming projects include: developing methodology of modeling exhaustion of resource capacities; forecasting 12 months of metro traffic distribution; decreasing not-billed CPU consumption, and self-service reports for our internal customers.

This position is remote but candidates from cities with Fastly offices may choose to work from the office.
