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 THIS ROLE Crusoe Cloud is seeking a Senior Staff Network Deployment Engineer to serve as the technical owner of how we deploy network infrastructure across our global fleet. As we rapidly scale our footprint of high-performance compute (HPC) and GPU-based AI infrastructure, you will define the deployment strategy, set the standards, and architect the automation platform that brings new data centers and edge sites online — at a pace and scale few companies have ever attempted. This is a senior technical leadership role at the intersection of Network Engineering, Data Center Operations, and Infrastructure Strategy. You will partner with Network Architecture to shape designs for deployability, mentor a team of Staff and Senior engineers executing your vision, and represent the deployment org in cross-functional
