Description

Apple Edge Services brings content to people with Apple devices around the world. Our innovative team is responsible for resiliency and quality customer experiences through our hardware and software running in global data centers.

The Edge Services team is looking for a CDN Capacity & Infrastructure Manager to own capacity planning, forecasting, and infrastructure health across our global content delivery network. You'll be the bridge between traffic trends, hardware procurement, and operational reliability - ensuring our edge infrastructure scales ahead of demand without overbuilding. This role sits at the intersection of network engineering, data analysis, and vendor/operations coordination, and is accountable for making sure the CDN never runs out of headroom during peak events while keeping cost and utilization in balance.

To support our expanding edge delivery footprint and high-concurrency traffic events (major OS releases, live sports/entertainment streaming, and continuous service growth), we need a Capacity & Infrastructure Manager to lead demand forecasting, fleet lifecycle execution, and unit-economics optimization for our Content Delivery Network. This role bridges edge software engineering, global network peering/transit, and hardware supply chain-establishing rigorous capacity models, mitigating long-lead hardware risks across colocation facilities, and optimizing multi-terabit peering commitments. By transitioning our edge footprint to predictive, data-driven modeling, this hire directly protects user experience while driving discipline into our infrastructure CapEx spend.","responsibilities":"Own end-to-end capacity planning for CDN edge and origin infrastructure, including short-term (weeks), medium-term (quarters), and long-term (annual) forecasting models
