Chief of Staff

Chief of Staff 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’s Cloud Engineering organization is 260 people today and hiring toward 400. At that scale, the things that hold an engineering org together—operational visibility, cross-team coordination, consistent planning rhythms, clear communication—don’t happen by accident anymore. This role exists to make sure they happen on purpose. You’ll be the operational leader and public face of the engineering organization. That means owning the engineering operating cadence—service health reviews, quarterly planning, initiative tracking—but it also means being the person who coordinates the hundred things that just need to get done across teams: driving alignment with product, making sure cross-cutting programs don’t stall, representing engineering in forums where someone credible needs to show up, and helping engineering leaders at every level execute more effectively. This is not a traditional chief of staff role focused on calendars and slide decks, and it’s not a TPM role scoped to a single program. You’ll work across the entire engineering organization, partnering with directors and tech leads on everything from incident follow-up accountability to headcount planning to making sure the RFC process actually works. You report to the Head of Cloud Engineering and sit on the executive team. The ideal candidate has a technical background—software engineering, TPM, or product in an infrastructure context—and the organizational instincts to operate at the seams between teams. You’re someone who can read an incident postmortem and spot the missing follow-up, but also someone who can walk into a room of directors with competing priorities and drive them to a decision. What You'll Be Working On: - Be the connective tissue across engineering leadership. Build real relationships with directors and tech leads, know what's actually going on in their orgs, and help them see the things they're too close to notice. - Build and own the KPI infrastructure that gives leadership real visibility — SLO dashboards, incident follow-up completion rates, on-call burden, deployment velocity, initiative trackers. Data should tell the story before anyone has to ask. - Drive quarterly planning for engineering alongside product and TPM. Own the process, the timeline, and the quality of the output — every team walks out with clear goals and commitments, full stop. - Work across the engineering organization to ensure the org stays close. Identify redundant processes and gaps, and suggest ways to close and collapse them. - Push back on engineering leaders with technical credibility. Go deep on the topics that matter, don't accept surface-level answers, and hold people to the commitments they made last week. - Be the face of engineering in cross-functional forums; produc ...
