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 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.
- Strategic Partnership: Serve as a trusted advisor to Product and Engineering VPs — weighing in on org design, team structure, and people strategy as the business scales
- Talent Planning: Lead organizational assessments and headcount planning to ensure our tech teams are built for where Crusoe is going, not just where we are today

- Career Frameworks: Partner with leaders on leveling, growth paths, and career development that reflect the complexity and pace of a world-class tech organization
- Talent Development: Identify high-potential individuals across Product and Engineering, and build the structured short and long-term programs — mentorship tracks, leadership pipelines, skill accelerators — that turn potential into sustained performance.

- A track record of partnering with senior leaders on org design, headcount planning, and talent strategy — not just executing programs handed to you
- Comfort operating in fast-moving, ambiguous environments — you don’t need a perfect playbook to do great work
