Be part of the AI revolution with sustainable technology at Crusoe. Here, you'll drive meaningful innovation, make a tangible impact, and join a team that’s setting the pace for responsible, transformative cloud infrastructure.

About the Role:

Crusoe’s Capacity Planning & Efficiency team plays a critical role in optimizing the performance and scalability of infrastructure supporting all Crusoe products and services. This includes compute, network, and storage systems, with a focus on enabling the rapid growth of our AI Cloud platform. The team works closely with our Data Center Design group, aligning resource planning with physical infrastructure constraints such as site availability, power, and rack space.

As a Capacity Planning Manager, you will serve as a key technical contributor, responsible for developing and driving data-informed infrastructure capacity plans. You’ll help shape Crusoe’s scaling strategies by integrating business forecasts, system constraints, and service demand patterns into actionable models. This is a high-impact individual contributor role that requires deep analytical acumen, technical infrastructure understanding, and cross-functional collaboration.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with hardware, SRE, network engineering, supply chain, and data center teams to optimize system-level decisions.

• Work with Finance to model tradeoffs between performance, capacity, and cost efficiency.

• Define planning assumptions, gather input data, and build models that guide long-term strategy and tactical deployments.

• Shape tooling requirements for internal planning dashboards and partner with engineers to implement improvements.

• Monitor infrastructure usage and capacity shifts through dashboards, proactively flagging bottlenecks or overages.

• Analyze customer usage patterns, revenue trends, and financial reports to inform capital planning and utilization forecasts.

• Aggregate and validate data inputs from various sources to drive accurate and scalable planning models.

• Independently drive high-complexity planning initiatives with strong technical and business grounding.

• Apply structured, quantitative thinking to ambiguous infrastructure scaling problems.

• Communicate findings effectively across technical and non-technical audiences, ensuring planning alignment and shared understanding.

You Will Thrive In This Role If You Have:

• Experience analyzing infrastructure usage, customer demand, and financial trends to inform scalable capacity planning.

• A track record of working cross-functionally with product, engineering, and finance to drive data-informed planning.

• Demonstrated ability to independently manage complex technical planning efforts from problem definition through solution.

• Deep analytical skills and a data-first approach to solving infrastructure scaling and optimization problems.

• Strong communication and collaboration skills across technical and business stakeholders.

• A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a quantitative or engineering field (e.g. Computer Science, Data Science, Operations Research), or equivalent professional experience.
