Engineering Manager, Managed Platform Services

Job description

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 the Role: Join Crusoe as an Engineering Manager and lead a talented team focused on revolutionizing our cloud infrastructure. In this pivotal role, you'll lead the Command Center Insights & Actions team — building the systems that translate raw infrastructure telemetry into human-readable diagnostics and automated remediation workflows. You'll own a technical roadmap spanning alerting engines, heuristic development, node health systems, and state machines that trigger proactive maintenance without impacting customer workloads, while exploring the integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) to build cutting-edge AI solutions within our Command Center product. This is a full-time opportunity for a passionate leader who thrives on building high-performing teams, fostering innovation, and delivering impactful, data-driven solutions in a dynamic environment.

What You'll Bring to the Team: - Technical Expertise in Observability & Intelligence Systems: Hands-on background in ML, heuristics, or rule-based systems — with the ability to engage deeply on problems like anomaly detection, threshold design, and automated remediation logic. - Proven Leadership: Demonstrated track record of people management, leading with empathy, and maintaining a sustainable workload for your teams. - Technical Acumen: Ability to lead effectively in spaces where problems, opportunities, and strategies are not yet fully defined — driving clarity, direction, and execution. - Cross-Functional Collaboration: Excellent technical communication skills, both verbal and written, to work effectively across diverse roles and functions. - Project Ownership: Proven experience owning and delivering complex projects end-to-end, with measurable quality and data-driven decision-making. - Global Scale Experience: Background building and operating global services at scale. - Organizational Prowess: Highly organized and capable of managing multiple complex initiatives and team priorities in parallel.
