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 is building the infrastructure layer that powers the most demanding AI workloads on the planet. Our storage stack is what keeps tens of thousands of GPUs fed with data, whether that means block volumes for fast bootups, a shared file system for a training cluster, or the object storage tier a physical AI customer depends on. As a Principal Product Manager on our AI Infrastructure team, you will own the long-term architecture and technology strategy for Crusoe's storage foundation: how we build our storage stack at scale, from hardware and vendor selection to fleet-wide deployment architecture. This is a foundations role. You will work as a peer to our most senior infrastructure engineers and architects, and make the long-term architecture, vendor, and technology decisions that determine whether our storage platform can scale for years, not just for the next customer request. You will partner closely with Infrastructure Engineering, Cloud Software Engineering, and Architecture to translate future workload, fleet, and customer requirements into infrastructure requirements, and manage the vendor relationships that keep our storage stack world-class for AI at scale. What You'll Be Working On Long-term vision: Define the 2-4 year vision and roadmap for Crusoe's storage foundation, across block, file, object, local NVMe, and archival tiers. Architecture and hierarchy: Own the long-term storage architecture and hierarchy Vendor management and technology strategy : Own Crusoe's long-term vendor management strategy for the storage stack, and shapes our cost structure, capital allocation, and competitive position. Platform targets: Set the performance and durability targets the platform must hit, including storage cost per usable TB and capacity efficiency. Scale for AI: Own the future architecture required to support significantly larger AI clusters and fleet scale. Structural investment: Identify structural limitations in the current architecture and prioritize the long-term investments that resolve them. Engineering partnership: Partner with Infrastructure Engineering and Architecture on major technical tradeoffs, and define the product requirements and business rationale behind foundational investments. Industry scouting: Actively scout the industry for emerging storage technologies and vendors, and represent storage foundations in leadership reviews. What You'll Bring to the Team Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer science, or a related field. 8+ years of technical product management experience, or product-minded infrastructure engineering experience, with a track record of owning architecture-level outcomes at Principal or equivalent scope, specifically focused on cloud storage or related infrastructure.
