Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon Gong is a senior infrastructure and capacity engineering leader with 11 years of experience building teams and systems to plan, optimize, and operate infrastructure at extreme scale for products across Meta, Twitter, and Box. He combines deep financial and analytical rigor—having built capacity, TCO, and chargeback models that saved millions—with hands-on delivery of platform tools that reduced capacity lead times by orders of magnitude. At Meta he now oversees capacity planning for hundreds of millions of servers and multi‑billion dollar annual spend, while mentoring engineering leaders through Plato. Known for turning messy cross‑functional problems into automated, productionized processes, he’s equally comfortable hiring and coaching top engineers and OR scientists as he is designing end‑to‑end capacity forecasting and cost-to-serve systems. Based in Beijing, he brings a rare mix of strategic finance chops and product engineering execution to infrastructure optimization.
