Job Description:

Crusoe's world-class AI Cloud is built upon a foundation of high-performance, scalable, and resilient storage infrastructure.

  • Strong, demonstrable understanding of data center storage architectures (e.g., block, file, object, disaggregated), technologies (NVMe, NVMe-oF, DRAM), and the key suppliers in the ecosystem
  • A proven track record of personally leading and closing multi-million dollar negotiations and structuring complex, long-term supply agreements
  • Experience designing and managing supply chain models for technical hardware, including forecasting, inventory management, and logistics
  • Exceptional ability to partner with and influence senior leadership and highly technical engineering teams
  • Advanced analytical and financial modeling skills, with a deep understanding of TCO for storage infrastructure (e.g., $/IOPS, $/TB, power, endurance)

Nice to have:

  • MBA or an advanced technical degree
  • Deep, existing executive relationships with key storage partners like VAST Data, Pure Storage, Dell, Supermicro and/or component suppliers like Samsung, SK hynix, Micron, Seagate, WDC
  • Experience in a hyperscale cloud or large-scale data center environment
  • Experience sourcing compute servers and familiarity with the "AI/GPU" ecosystem
  • Experience with international logistics, importing, and trade compliance for hardware
What we offer:
  • Restricted Stock Units
  • Health insurance package options that include HDHP and PPO, vision, and dental for you and your dependents
  • Employer contributions to HSA accounts
  • Paid Parental Leave
  • Paid life insurance, short-term and long-term disability
  • Teladoc
