About this role
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. When you join Crusoe, you join a team that is building the future, faster. We're in the midst of the greatest industrial revolution of our time. The demand for AI compute is boundless, and power is a bottleneck. We're solving that — with an energy-first approach that makes AI infrastructure better for the world and faster for the people innovating with AI. We're looking for problem-solving, opportunity-finding teammates with a sense of urgency, who believe in the scale of our ambition and thrive on a path not fully paved — people who want to grow their careers alongside a team of experts across energy, manufacturing, data center construction, and cloud services. If you want to do the most meaningful work of your career, help our customers and partners advance their AI strategies, and be part of a high-performing team that believes in each other, come build with us at Crusoe. About This Role: Crusoe Cloud is seeking a Senior Engineering Manager, Deployment to lead the organization responsible for physically and logically bringing our global network online. As we rapidly scale our footprint of high-performance compute (HPC) and GPU-based AI infrastructure, you will own the deployment team's people, process, and delivery across a growing portfolio of concurrent global builds, partnering directly with Network Deployment technical leadership to turn strategy into a reliably executing organization. You're accountable for the org's output: every site, every quarter, at hyperscale pace. You build and scale the team, shape how deployment standards get adopted and enforced in practice, and are a trusted voice in planning conversations with Data Center Ops, Supply Chain, and Site Reliability leadership. What You’ll Be Working On: 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 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. 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. Own Frontend
