Senior GPU Capacity Planner

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 At Crusoe, the Capacity Planning & Efficiency team operates at the critical intersection of all Crusoe products, services, and underlying physical infrastructure. As the Senior GPU Capacity and Optimization Planner, you will own the day-to-day management, allocation, and strategic bin-packing optimization of Crusoe Cloud’s high-performance GPU fleet. This is a highly cross-functional, high-impact role that bridges the gap between our technical infrastructure and our Go-To-Market (GTM) engine. You will work closely with Sales, Customer Success, Solutions Engineering, and Fleet Management to translate commercial customer pipelines into requirements within the datacenter. Your mission will be to maximize resource utilization, eliminate fragmentation across accelerated computing clusters, and ensure our AI/ML customers receive seamless performance, directly supporting Crusoe’s mission to align the future of computing with environmental sustainability.
