Senior Engineering Manager, Deployment

Role description

Role Overview

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. 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.

What You Will Do

Build and Lead the Organization: Own the deployment org's structure and growth. Hire and develop Managers, Staff, and Senior Network Production Engineers across multiple sites and time zones, and build the management layer beneath you as the team scales. Own the Delivery Portfolio: Be accountable for on-time, zero-defect delivery across the full portfolio of concurrent site build-outs.

Why It Might Be a Fit

10+ years of experience in network engineering or data center deployment, including 4+ years managing engineers or engineering managers in a large-scale infrastructure environment. Proven People and Org Leadership: Track record of building, scaling, and retaining high-performing technical teams.
