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
Execute Global Build-outs: Lead the end-to-end deployment of network infrastructure in new and existing data centers, from initial rack/stack oversight to final hand-off.
Bridge Design and Reality: Take high-level designs from the Network Development team and translate them into site-specific implementation plans, cable maps, and configuration templates.
Validate and Commission: Perform rigorous "Burn-in" testing and site acceptance testing (SAT) for new network clusters, ensuring zero-defect handovers to the Operations team.
Optimize Deployment Automation: Use Python, Ansible, and ZTP (Zero Touch Provisioning) to automate the staging and configuration of hundreds of network devices simultaneously.
Manage On-site Partners: Coordinate with remote hands, structured cabling vendors, and data center providers to ensure physical layer standards (fiber paths, power requirements, and cooling) meet Crusoe’s stringent HPC requirements.
Inventory and Capacity Management: Track global hardware assets and lead the "Turn-up" of new backbone capacity and edge interconnects.
What they're looking for
- + years of experience in network engineering with a heavy focus on: large-scale data center deployments and infrastructure projects.
- Mastery of Physical Layer Standards: Expert knowledge of structured cabling (SMF/MMF, MPO/MTP), optical transceivers (400G/800G), and data center power/cooling requirements.
- Strong Routing and Switching Knowledge: Hands-on experience configuring Arista (EOS), Juniper (Junos), and NVIDIA/Mellanox platforms in a leaf-spine architecture.
- Protocol Proficiency: Solid understanding of BGP, EVPN-VXLAN, and LLDP as they relate to large-scale fabric provisioning.
