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.

• Coordinate with Product, Engineering, CS, and Solutions teams to surface customer challenges and advocate for customer needs on inference platforms and AI services.
• Deliver training sessions and workshops to customers on the use and benefits of our products and services.
• Address and resolve customer concerns, supporting customers during escalations and service incidents and escalating complex issues as needed.

What You’ll Bring to the Team:

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering, or a related field.
• 2+ years of experience supporting enterprise cloud, AI, machine learning, developer platform, or infrastructure customers in a customer success, technical account management, or similar role.
• Solid technical foundation in cloud computing platforms, AI, and ML technologies, with the ability to communicate complex concepts in simple terms.
• Working understanding of inference workloads, model serving architectures, Kubernetes, containers, APIs, and GPU infrastructure.
• Excellent interpersonal, communication, and presentation skills, with the ability to engage technical customer teams including AI, ML, and Platform Engineers.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with ambiguous and/or iterative fact-sets.
