Senior Technical Program Manager

About the Role: Crusoe's Cloud Product team is hiring a Senior Technical Program Manager to own and drive technical programs across our AI IaaS platform, aligning Product and Engineering on delivery. This role requires a hands‑on individual contributor with genuine technical depth in AI infrastructure, comfortable operating in ambiguous, fast‑moving environments and capable of building execution structure where little exists. What You’ll Be Working On: Workstream & Program Ownership: Own delivery of defined feature sets or commissioning workstreams within larger IaaS and NPI programs. Drive execution from kickoff through GA or handoff milestone. Hands‑On Execution: Personally manage technically complex programs within your scope. Identify blockers early, intervene to correct course, and elevate cross‑organizational issues promptly when they exceed your authority. Commissioning Leadership: Own the Cloud TPM side of GPU cluster commissioning for assigned deployments — define RFN acceptance criteria, commissioning readiness requirements, and Go/No‑Go criteria. Lead Phase 4.0 commissioning activities including network fabric, storage provisioning, GPU validation, burn‑in, and monitoring integration. Risk & Dependency Governance: Proactively identify technical and organizational risks within your programs. Maintain dependency logs, surface blockers before scheduled reviews, and drive issues to resolution. Execution Frameworks: Build lightweight, fit‑for‑purpose execution structures for your programs — stand‑ups, dashboards, status updates, and risk logs. Establish predictability within your workstream. External Partner Coordination: Coordinate with external dependencies such as hardware partners, ODMs, or data‑center operations teams on assigned programs. Support certification, validation, and infrastructure stack alignment under guidance of senior TPMs. What You’ll Bring to the Team: AI Infrastructure Technical Depth: Genuine hands‑on knowledge of the AI infrastructure stack — GPU firmware, drivers, BIOS/BMC, CUDA or ROCm stacks, OS configurations, and the tooling required to bring a cluster to production. Ability to engage credibly with firmware, hardware, networking, and compute engineers without a translator. Commissioning Fluency: Familiarity with GPU cluster commissioning — understanding of the distinct workstreams (Compute, SDN, ZTP, Firmware, Network, Storage), commissioning gate definitions, and what it means to take ownership of a cluster from RFN through GA. Experience at Hyperscalers or Neoclouds: 5–10 years of experience as a Technical Program Manager, with meaningful tenure at a hyperscaler (AWS, Azure, Google, Meta, OCI) or neocloud (CoreWeave, Lambda Labs) in a hardware, firmware, compute platform, or IaaS delivery role. Must have been on the build side — not customer‑facing or enterprise IT delivery. AI Tool Integration: Active daily use of AI tools to enhance program execution, tracking, and communication. Execution Rigor: Demonstrated ability to establish program predictability in ambiguous environments. Builds lightweight structure that engineering teams trust and adopt. Communication: Clear written and verbal communication for delivering program status, risks, and dependencies to engineering leads and product managers. Bonus Points Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field Hands‑on engineering background — hardware engineering, systems engineering, silicon validation, embedded software, or firmware Experience with GPU NPI programs, firmware deployment across compute fleets, or datacenter commissioning Experience at a hyper‑growth company Benefits: Competitive compensation Restricted Stock Units Paid time off & paid holidays Comprehensive health, dental & vision insurance Employer contributions to HSA account Paid parental leave Paid life insurance, short‑term and long‑term disability Professional development & tuition reimbursement Mental health & wellness support Commuter benefits (parking & transit) Cell phone stipend 401(k) Retirement plan with company match up to 4% of salary Volunteer time off Compensation Range Compensation will be paid in the range of up to $161,700 - $196,000 + Bonus.
