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
Crusoe Cloud operates GPU infrastructure across six production sites globally, with a fleet that spans SuperMicro, HPE, and next-generation ODM platforms as we scale. We're looking for a Staff Data Center Operations Engineer to serve as the senior technical operations resource for the SiteOps org — based at our Denver headquarters, with cross-site scope and travel authority across our full portfolio.
This role is the bridge between Crusoe's distributed site teams and our OEM and ODM hardware partners. You'll own platform-level escalations that exceed site-level capability, drive hardware decisions at the org level, and serve as SiteOps' technical presence at headquarters — visible to engineering, procurement, and leadership in a way that a field-based role cannot be.
You'll be hands-on when the situation calls for it, traveling to sites for complex escalations, new platform bring-ups, and deployment support. But your primary leverage is organizational: building the technical standards, OEM relationships, and institutional knowledge that keeps Crusoe's GPU fleet reliable across every site.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Cross-Site Platform Operations & Escalation
- Own Tier 2/3 hardware escalations across all Crusoe sites for issues that exceed local site capability, engaging directly with OEM and ODM engineering teams to drive resolution
- Travel to sites as needed for complex platform issues, new hardware bring-ups, and deployment support
- Identify recurring failure patterns across sites and translate them into platform feedback, sparing strategy inputs, or OEM improvement requests
- Root-cause complex hardware issues — PCIe, BMC, thermal, fabric — and produce resolution documentation reusable across the SiteOps org
- Hand off platform-level findings to the appropriate internal engineering teams with clear, well-documented escalation packages
OEM & ODM Technical Partnership
- Develop and maintain deep technical relationships with Crusoe's primary hardware partners — currently SuperMicro and HPE, with upcoming ODM’s as growing platforms — at the engineering and field escalation level
- Serve as Crusoe's technical voice in OEM/ODM partner conversations, surfacing field observations, influencing hardware roadmaps, and driving platform improvements that benefit the full fleet
- Build familiarity with new ODM platform architecture, tooling, and escalation processes as Crusoe expands its ODM footprint
- Support vendor evaluations and new platform qualifications in partnership with SiteOps and engineering leadership
Platform Standards & Org Development
- Own OEM platform technical knowledge at the SiteOps org level — escalation playbooks, failure pattern analysis, and OEM relationship inputs across all s
