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
Grow and develop your team. Manage 4 to 6 engineers directly: 1:1s, career growth, performance, and team health, with the team growing over time.
Own delivery. Plan, sequence, and de-risk a multi-phase release with a fixed: finish line, and be accountable for shipping it.
Set the technical direction for your area. Partner closely with the tech lead: so they can focus on engineering rather than absorbing delivery and handoff work alone. Ask the hard questions and make sound tradeoff calls alongside your engineers.
Keep the operational bar high. The agent runs on every customer node, so: rollout safety, low overhead, and reliability are core to the job, not afterthoughts.
Own the team's oncall rotation and the operational health of the agent fleet.
Coordinate across team boundaries. Much of this team's work ships inside: other teams' releases and hardware launch windows, so sequencing dependencies and escalating early is a core part of the job.
What they're looking for
- Shape the team over time. Work with recruiting on sourcing, run a: high-quality interview loop, close strong candidates, and onboard them well.
- Collaborate across functions. Partner with product, neighboring: infrastructure teams, peer managers, and leadership to keep priorities aligned as the observability product expands.
- You care about people. You want the engineers around you to grow, you give: feedback that's both direct and kind, and you measure your own success through your team's.
- Technical depth. 5+ years of hands-on engineering experience, ideally in: systems software: host agents, telemetry collectors, daemons, or other performance-sensitive software (Go, Rust, or C++ environments), and hands-on familiarity with Kubernetes and helm-based deployment. This role stays close to the technical work.
