Senior Engineering Manager, Network Observability
About The Position
Crusoe's mission is to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence. We’re crafting the engine that powers a world where people can create ambitiously with AI — without sacrificing scale, speed, or sustainability. Be a part of the AI revolution with sustainable technology at Crusoe. Here, you'll drive meaningful innovation, make a tangible impact, and join a team that’s setting the pace for responsible, transformative cloud infrastructure. About this Role Crusoe Cloud is seeking a visionary and technical leader to spearhead Network Development across our global infrastructure. While our Operations team ensures the reliability of our current fleet, the Network Development team is responsible for the design, engineering, and evolution of the high-performance fabrics that make Crusoe a leader in AI and HPC. The ideal candidate is a "builder" at heart. You will lead the team responsible for translating complex architectural requirements into scalable, automated, and high-performance network designs. From optimizing GPU-to-GPU communication in our HPC clusters to developing the automation frameworks that deploy our global backbone, you will be at the forefront of networking for the AI era.
Requirements
- 15+ years of progressive experience in large-scale network engineering, with at least 5+ years in a leadership role focused on network design, architecture, or development.
- Deep expertise in Data Center Fabric Design: Proven track record building large-scale Clos topologies using BGP, EVPN-VXLAN, and Segment Routing.
- Specialized HPC Knowledge: Deep understanding of the "Backend Network," including RDMA, RoCEv2, and InfiniBand, and how they impact GPU performance.
- Software-Defined Mindset: Strong background in network programmability and automation frameworks (Python, Go, Terraform, Ansible, NetBox, or custom-built controllers).
- Hardware Proficiency: Experience with merchant silicon architectures (Broadcom Tomahawk/Jericho, Barefoot Tofino) and deep-buffer switching.
- Architectural Vision: Ability to design for the future, including IPv6-only fabrics, multi-tenant security at the hardware level, and 800G/1.6T transitions.
- Interconnect Expertise: Experience designing private backbones and peering strategies that integrate seamlessly with hyperscale cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure).
- Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
Responsibilities
- Lead Network Engineering & Design: Own the end-to-end development lifecycle of Crusoe’s network architecture, focusing on the next generation of GPU fabrics and global interconnects.
- Innovate HPC & AI Fabrics: Drive the engineering of low-latency, high-bandwidth networks (RoCEv2, InfiniBand) specifically optimized for massive-scale distributed AI training.
- Define the Automation Roadmap: Architect and implement "Network-as-Code" initiatives. Lead the development of CI/CD pipelines for network configurations, automated provisioning, and self-healing infrastructure.
- Hardware Strategy & Vendor Engineering: Evaluate and certify next-generation hardware platforms. Partner with vendors (Arista, NVIDIA, Juniper) to influence product roadmaps and ensure Crusoe has the best-in-class silicon for our workloads.
- Build and Mentor a Development Culture: Recruit and lead a team of Network Development Engineers (NDE) and Software Engineers who bridge the gap between traditional networking and software engineering.
- Cross-Functional Product Partnership: Collaborate closely with Product, Hardware Engineering, and Network Operations to ensure new designs are not only high-performance but also observable and maintainable at scale.
