The opportunity
At Crusoe, the Capacity Planning & Efficiency team operates at the critical intersection of all Crusoe products, services, and underlying physical infrastructure. This role focuses specifically on the end-to-end forecasting, optimization, and lifecycle management of Compute…
What you'll do
End-to-End Capacity Modeling: Own and manage the multi-quarter capacity plans and allocation models for core infrastructure resources across Compute (CPUs) and multi-tiered Storage platforms (File, Object, and Block arrays).
Demand Forecasting & Signal Analysis: Analyze demand signals, historical workload profiles, customer usage shifts, and product roadmaps to build highly precise resource consumption forecasts to guide strategic hardware placement strategies.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Sales, Storage Engineering, Server Hardware Engineering, SRE, Product, Finance, and Supply Chain to translate high-level product forecasts into physically deployed hardware allocations while navigating global procurement lead times.
Efficiency & Financial Optimization: Interface directly with Finance and Product to tightly balance structural cost efficiency, infrastructure unit economics, depreciation schedules, and hardware utilization targets against technical availability cushions.
Automation Requirements: Define operational metrics, establish planning baseline standards, and partner with Software Engineering teams to architect, automate, and implement automated capacity workflows and real-time visualization dashboards.
Data Mining & Validation: Perform complex data mining and verification across raw hardware usage metrics, asset management databases, and financial billing pipelines to guarantee maximum structural accuracy in capital efficiency models.
What they're looking for
- Proven Capacity Domain Expertise: 3+ years of direct experience in Infrastructure Capacity Planning, Infrastructure Systems Engineering, or Technical Product Management with heavy exposure to compute and storage.
- Deep Hardware & Architecture Familiarity: Demonstrated foundational technical knowledge of enterprise server configurations, CPU sizing/benchmarking, and storage across File, Object, and Block storage infrastructures.
- Hyper-Growth Experience: Experience working inside high-growth, fast-paced public cloud environments or massively distributed systems topologies.
- Excellent Communication: Strong structured narrative delivery, documentation, and cross-functional negotiation skills to successfully bridge alignment across engineering technicalities and business/financial constraints.
