Senior Director, Cloud Engineering

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.

As Senior Director, Engineering, you'll run the team behind Crusoe's customer-facing cloud platform. This is the software layer customers depend on every day - from developer portal and identity to billing, registries, metrics, and managed logging.

You'll lead a 60+ person Product Engineering org through senior managers and engineering leads. You'll set technical direction, drive the roadmap, and keep the bar high on reliability, security, and on-call execution.

The role sits close to customers and close to the technical core. When a platform bet matters or a customer issue turns critical, you'll help lead the response. You'll report to the Vice President of Engineering.

• Lead a 60+ person Product Engineering org through senior managers and engineering leads.

• Drive the roadmap for Crusoe's customer-facing cloud platform and managed services.

• Set direction for developer portal, identity, billing, interfaces, registries, metrics, and managed logging.

• Ship the roadmap with Product and Infrastructure while raising quality, reliability, security, and on-call rigor.

• Step into major customer escalations and key product decisions when stakes are high.

• Turn customer needs into platform capabilities with Sales and Solutions Engineering.

• Build shared technical foundations with Crusoe's broader infrastructure and AI platform teams.

• 12+ years in software engineering and 5+ years leading 40-100+ engineer orgs means real scale won't be new to you.

• Leading Directors and senior Engineering Managers is familiar ground. You know how to scale through leaders, not just direct reports.

• You've owned a cloud platform customers pay for - IaaS, PaaS, or managed services - and know what reliability feels like in production.

• You’re AI tooling fluent and are passionate about the ecosystem, the user experience, and have an interest in pushing the envelope.

• Distributed systems and cloud infrastructure are home turf. You can go deep with engineers and make sound calls at platform scale.

• In growth-stage settings, you've kept teams moving through ambiguity without letting quality or on-call discipline slip.

• You're a builder. When the playbook is thin, you create the structure the team needs.

• Direct, low-ego leadership matters here. People trust you, and you raise standards without adding noise.

• Time inside AWS, GCP, Azure, CoreWeave, Lambda Labs, or a similar cloud provider will help you ramp faster.

• AI/ML platform work at scale is a useful context for the managed services we build.

• Past experience scaling an engineering org through rapid growth will translate well here.

• You've built products for both developers and enterprises, with a clear eye for user experience.
