To align the future of computing with the future of the climate.
Role
Who you are
- 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
What the job involves
- 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
- Build and maintain capacity plans across compute, network, and storage for Crusoe’s cloud and AI infrastructure
- Conduct scenario modeling using business and technical data to support investment timing and infrastructure scaling
- Contribute to the evolution of Crusoe’s capacity planning processes, tooling, and methodologies
- Identify and address infrastructure inefficiencies and capacity risks using data-driven analysis
- Forecast infrastructure demand by analyzing usage trends, growth signals, and product roadmaps
- Partner with product and GTM teams to integrate customer demand and sales pipelines into planning efforts
- 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
Our take
Methane, that is mostly generated by flaring in the oil and gas industry, is a major contributor to global warming - as are the carbon emissions produced by global computing (especially bitcoin mining.) Crusoe Energy Systems reduces flaring, and repurposes waste natural gas into energy for these processes, thus removing methane from the atmosphere and simultaneously reducing the carbon footprint of computing.
Crusoe's mobile data centers can be deployed to generate power from methane waste at its source. As well as its patented Digital Flare Mitigation system, Crusoe is also working to enable alternative revenue streams for renewable and clean energy projects, with the ultimate aim to run data centers on renewable energy.
The company has connections with Kraken Oil & Gas, Devon Energy, Enerplus, and more; and its computing power is used by institutes such as MIT. The rising pressure to take action on climate change, coupled with the need for high-energy computing as more infrastructure moves online, has placed it in a massive industry. With the capability of its systems to reduce the equivalent of 8,000 tonnes per year of CO2 and 2023 debt financing amounting to $200 million in investment, Crusoe Energy Systems is well positioned to make an impact and drive for further success.
