Senior Technical Program Manager, Networking

Crusoe•Sunnyvale, CA

3d•$161,700 - $196,000

About The Position

Crusoe is looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager to own the delivery of networking feature sets within their IaaS product portfolio. This is a hands-on individual contributor role that sits at the intersection of Product, Engineering, and Data Center Operations. Networking is a critical component of the IaaS product, and this role will be responsible for the execution of defined networking feature sets from backlog to General Availability (GA). The ideal candidate will keep engineering teams unblocked and ensure predictable delivery across interdependent workstreams. While a deep network engineering background is not required, a strong understanding of data center network construction, how networking capabilities are exposed as IaaS products, and how to facilitate engineering progress in complex situations is essential.

Requirements

Data Center Networking Fluency: Understanding of how data center networks are built and how networking capabilities are delivered as IaaS products. Familiarity with frontend and backend fabric, VPC networking, and how networking decisions interact with compute and storage layers.
IaaS Product Context: Familiarity with how networking features are built, scoped, and shipped in a cloud infrastructure environment. Understanding of how product requirements flow into engineering workstreams and what causes feature delivery to slip.
Build-Side Experience: 3 to 6 years as a Technical Program Manager in a data center infrastructure, networking, or IaaS delivery context. Experience at a hyperscaler (AWS, Azure, Google, Meta, OCI), neocloud (CoreWeave, Lambda Labs), or infrastructure-focused company. Experience shipping infrastructure products, not just supporting them post-deployment.
Execution in Ambiguity: Ability to build structure where little exists and make programs predictable without making them bureaucratic.
Clear Communication: Ability to write crisp status updates, run tight standups, and provide honest assessments of program risk to senior stakeholders.

Nice To Haves

Experience owning feature delivery within an IaaS product team.
Familiarity with how networking features are tested and validated before GA.
Exposure to NVIDIA networking platforms or similar at-scale fabrics.
Active use of AI tools to improve how you work.

Responsibilities

Drive end-to-end delivery of networking feature sets within IaaS products such as Virtual Machine networking, Kubernetes networking, and cloud foundations work.
Translate engineering backlogs into structured timelines, surface blockers early, and own status communication across Product, Engineering, and DC Ops.
Work alongside engineering leads and product managers to maintain backlog health, track dependencies between networking and adjacent workstreams including Compute, Storage, Firmware, and Cloud Foundations, and ensure teams are unblocked before reviews.
Engage early in the feature lifecycle to help define acceptance criteria, readiness requirements, and Go/No-Go criteria before development begins.
Build lightweight execution structures including standups, dashboards, dependency trackers, and status updates that engineering teams adopt.
Coordinate across Product, Engineering, DC Ops, and external hardware partners on networking programs with external dependencies, surfacing ownership gaps and driving them to resolution.
