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 Release Lifecycle End to End: Lead versioned firmware and software baselines from scoping and definition through qualification, validation, phased rollout, and production deployment across a large GPU fleet.
Orchestrate Cross-Functional Releases: Drive release programs across Compute, Networking, Storage, Orchestration, and Operations. Set entry and exit criteria, layered validation, domain sign-offs, and go/no-go decisions.
Lead Fleet-Wide Upgrade Campaigns: Coordinate upgrades on live production clusters with Operations and customer-facing teams, including maintenance planning, rollback strategies, and risk mitigation.
Drive Security and CVE Response: Partner with engineering leads to make fast, well-reasoned decisions on security patches and CVEs, and fold them into the release train.
Govern Vendor Relationships: Work with OEMs, ODMs, and component and silicon suppliers on firmware fixes, validation timelines, and roadmaps. Escalate and resolve issues that put Crusoe’s schedule at risk.
Build the Machine: Design lightweight, scalable release calendars, validation frameworks, Jira workflows, and metrics that make Crusoe’s release process predictable as the fleet grows.
What they're looking for
- Surface Risk and Drive Decisions: Maintain real-time visibility into release health, map cross-team dependencies, and deliver crisp executive updates that spotlight decisions and trade-offs.
- Improve Continuously: Lead retrospectives after major releases and feed the learnings back into the process. Apply AI tools to improve tracking, risk detection, and communication across your programs.
- Program Leadership at Scale: 10+ years as a Technical Program Manager in infrastructure, hardware, or platform engineering, including release or change management at fleet scale.
- Server Firmware Expertise: Working knowledge of the server firmware stack, including BMC, BIOS, GPU firmware and drivers, and NIC and switch firmware.
