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
Build and Lead the Organization: Own the deployment org's structure and growth. Hire and develop Managers, Staff, and Senior Network Production Engineers across multiple sites and time zones, and build the management layer beneath you as the team scales.
Own Deployment Automation: Be accountable for the org's automation strategy and adoption across the deployment lifecycle, including ZTP-based provisioning, Ansible-driven configuration, and CI/CD pipelines for network turn-up. Drive tooling investment decisions, and hold managers and engineers accountable for replacing manual, repeatable steps with automated workflows as the site pipeline scales.
Own the Delivery Portfolio: Be accountable for on-time, zero-defect delivery across the full portfolio of concurrent site build-outs. Set the operating cadence, staffing model, and escalation paths that make that possible.
Translate Strategy into Execution: Partner with Network Deployment technical leadership to turn multi-quarter deployment strategy and standards into org-wide execution plans, and feed field realities back into how those standards evolve.
Run Executive-Level Cadence: Own program reporting and risk escalation to Data Center Ops, Supply Chain, and Site Reliability leadership. Represent the deployment org in cross-functional and executive planning.
Own Vendor and Partner Performance: Set and enforce SLAs and quality bars for structured cabling vendors, remote hands, and data center providers. Escalate systemic partner issues and drive resolution at the program level.
What they're looking for
- Champion Validation Rigor: Ensure burn-in and site acceptance testing (SAT) standards are consistently met across every site in the portfolio. Partner with Operations leadership on handoff quality and root-cause resolution.
- Own Capacity Planning Inputs: Partner with Supply Chain and Infrastructure leadership on hardware lifecycle, lead-time risk, and turn-up cadence across the org's full site pipeline.
- Drive Org-Level Continuous Improvement: Run cross-site retrospectives and post-incident reviews. Identify systemic gaps in tooling, staffing, or process and drive the fixes, in partnership with technical leadership.
- Develop the Next Layer of Leaders: Coach managers and senior engineers into stronger technical and people leaders, and build the org's bench strength for future scale.
