Staff Product Manager, Orchestration

Staff Product Manager, Orchestration 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 As a Staff Product Manager for Orchestration, you will define the vision and own outcomes for the foundational layers of Crusoe's cloud. You will lead the orchestration services that allow both our internal teams and external customers to deploy massive-scale training, fine-tuning, and inference workloads on our carbon-reducing, vertically integrated AI cloud. This role requires deep functional expertise and the ability to drive complex, cross-functional product initiatives with minimal direction. You will own the product lifecycle end-to-end—from identifying ambiguous, ill-defined problems to building alignment across engineering, SRE, and business stakeholders—and translate that into a roadmap that directly contributes to Crusoe's revenue and competitive differentiation. You will oversee our Managed Kubernetes offerings and the underlying infrastructure clusters that power our entire service ecosystem, serving as the connective tissue between the hardware layer and the user-facing software experience. What You'll Be Working On - Orchestration Vision & Roadmap: Define and own the multi-team roadmap for our foundational orchestration services. Identify opportunities in ambiguous problem spaces, set long-term strategic direction, and build consensus across engineering leads and senior stakeholders. - Foundational Infrastructure: Drive requirements for the orchestration layers hosting Crusoe's mission-critical services, balancing reliability, scale, and long-term platform implications—including second- and third-order effects of key architectural decisions. - Customer Empathy & Feedback: Engage regularly with current and prospective customers to surface unmet needs, synthesize feedback across the portfolio, and translate insights into concrete product investments with clear ROI. - Technical Prioritization: Lead ruthless prioritization and navigate complex trade-offs (e.g., latency vs. cost, speed vs. reliability) across multiple workstreams in close collaboration with Engineering, SRE, and Customer Success. - Cross-Functional Leadership: Build and maintain alignment with tech leads, senior managers, and business stakeholders across multiple teams. Drive initiative with urgency, resolve cross-functional friction, and ensure execution stays true to strategic intent. - Executive Communication: Distill complex, ambiguous technical challenges into clear narratives and decision-ready documents for the executive team—including trade-off framing and recommendations tied to business outcomes. What You'll Bring to the Team We value your rate of learning and your ability to deconstruct problems to their fundamental truths. - Technical Fluency: Deep, hands-on experience with Kubernetes or comparable orchestration systems ...
