The opportunity

Crusoe is on a mission to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence . As the only vertically integrated AI infrastructure company built from the ground up, we own and operate each layer of the stack — from electrons to tokens — to power the world's most ambitious AI workloads.

What you'll do

  • Own the curtailment orchestration and decision layer: grid-signal ingestion, staged shedding, per-SKU power capping without ever silently dropping a paid workload

  • Land a utility-validated pilot: fast ramp to setpoint, tight accuracy, high-fidelity telemetry, and the test harness that proves it before we commit to a utility

  • Deliver dynamic power management for oversubscription: more GPUs per megawatt with no customer-visible impact

  • Build fast, workload-aware GPU power estimation, validated against fleet: telemetry : the engine behind shed forecasting, oversubscription admission, and power planning for new silicon

  • Design for safety: authenticated signal ingress, bounded blast radius, fail-safe defaults, manual backstops

  • Own graceful ride-through of power-loss and grid-stress events, integrated: with on-site battery and generation backstops

What they're looking for

  • Partner deeply with Data Center Engineering (mechanical, electrical,: controls) and Energy teams on interconnection commitments, curtailment program design, and BESS/generation integration.
  • Integrate with our cloud control plane across Kubernetes and Slurm fleets : one control plane, not two
  • Make build-vs-leverage calls across vendor power-management stacks and grid integration layers
  • Hire and lead the team from the ground up, keeping headcount sublinear to fleet growth through automation
