Full 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: As we scale our AI infrastructure, we are investing deeply in the software systems that manage, observe, and heal our network at scale. We are hiring a Senior Engineering Manager, SDN Management Plane to lead the team responsible for the automation, observability, configuration management, and policy enforcement layer that runs across our entire network fleet. This is a senior software engineering leadership role. The Management Plane is the horizontal layer that ties together our control and data plane systems, making our network self-aware, self-healing, and continuously verifiable. You will lead a team of senior and staff software engineers while remaining deeply engaged in platform architecture, systems design, and the technical roadmap. This is not a network operations or SRE role. It is a pla
