Job Description

Crusoe is seeking a Senior Engineering Manager, Data Plane Systems to lead the team responsible for high-performance SDN data planes across hosts and DPUs. In this hands-on senior leadership role, you will own the architecture, implementation, and production operation of a hardware-accelerated networking stack designed for large-scale GPU workloads. Unlike generic networking manager roles, this position focuses on delivering high-performance packet processing on aggressive timelines, often moving features from commit to production within days.

Job Responsibility

  • Define the roadmap for SDN data plane systems and lead the integration of DPUs (such as NVIDIA BlueField) and hardware accelerators
  • Oversee the development of Linux kernel networking components, XDP/eBPF data paths, and DPDK-based fast paths while driving the migration of networking functions to hardware offload architectures
  • Lead performance benchmarking, regression prevention, and incident response, ensuring operational excellence within 3-6 month execution cycles
  • Mentor and grow a team of senior and staff-level systems engineers, setting technical standards and fostering a high-performance culture of accountability
  • Partner closely with control-plane teams (OVN/OVS) to optimize throughput and latency for multi-tenant GPU clusters

Requirements

  • At least 10+ years in high-performance networking or systems engineering, with 5-7+ years specifically managing senior/staff-level talent
  • Deep knowledge of Linux networking internals, kernel architecture, and experience with XDP/eBPF, AF_XDP, and DPDK
  • Hands-on experience with DPU integration and migrating networking functions to hardware accelerators
  • A strong understanding of low-latency networking, performance tuning, and benchmarking
  • The ability to resolve complex technical challenges in a fast-moving, execution-heavy environment

Nice to have

  • Experience with RDMA/RoCE in GPU environments
  • P4 programmable networking
  • open-source contributions to kernel systems

What we offer

  • 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
