Principal Product Manager, General Compute

Role Overview

• Define and own the strategic direction for Crusoe's general compute platform, shaping multi-year product narratives that guide investment across engineering, infrastructure, and GTM teams
• Operate across organizational boundaries to align compute strategy with networking, storage, managed services, and go-to-market teams, ensuring cohesive platform evolution
• Shape executive decision-making by framing tradeoffs between infrastructure investment, market positioning, customer demand, and long-term business outcomes
• Identify emerging risks and opportunities in AI infrastructure before they become visible—new workload patterns, architectural shifts, competitive dynamics, or technology transitions
• Define the problem space when ambiguity is highest and organizational alignment doesn't exist, creating clarity for multiple teams to execute against shared vision
• Ensure execution succeeds at scale by defining operating models, sequencing major investments, resolving cross-organizational friction, and maintaining accountability for outcomes spanning multiple teams
• Drive initiatives that materially change Crusoe's revenue potential, cost structure, or competitive differentiation in cloud infrastructure
• Synthesize market trends, technological shifts (GPU roadmaps, virtualization evolution, AI framework requirements), and economic realities into actionable strategy
• Establish durable product frameworks and decision models that other Product Manager and teams adopt for evaluating compute investments and customer requirements
• Anticipate second
• and third-order effects across the ecosystem—how compute decisions impact network topology, cooling economics, energy strategy, or customer contract structures
• Lead strategic customer and partner discussions, representing Crusoe's compute vision and gathering insights that inform platform direction
• Mentor product managers and engineers across the organization, modeling Crusoe values and developing the next generation of infrastructure product leaders
• Influence how Crusoe allocates capital to compute infrastructure, balancing GPU vs CPU investment, bare metal vs virtualization, and custom vs standard offerings

Requirements

• 10+ years of product management experience with deep expertise in cloud infrastructure, HPC, or large-scale compute platforms
• Proven track record defining strategic direction that shapes multiple product portfolios and informs company-level planning
• Demonstrated ability to deliver step-function impact on business trajectory through initiatives that materially change revenue, cost structure, or competitive positioning
• Expertise solving problems spanning organizational, technical, and business dimensions simultaneously—integrating infrastructure constraints, economic models, customer demand, and platform implications
• Strong track record operating across organizational boundaries to influence strategy at company level, including executive decision-making and capital allocation
• Experience defining new problem spaces when ambiguity is highest, bringing structure to strategic questions without established precedent
• Deep understanding of AI infrastructure including GPU platforms, distributed training systems, inference optimization, and evolving workload characteristics
• Proven ability to anticipate second
• and third-order effects, ensuring local optimizations don't create systemic inefficiencies across complex ecosystems
• Excellent communication skills translating technical complexity into strategic narratives for executives, customers, and partners
• Active mentor and role model who develops product management and engineering talent across the organization
• Experience leading compute or infrastructure strategy at a cloud provider, AI infrastructure company, or hyperscaler (Nice-to-Have)
