About the Role:- Long-term vision: Define the 2-4 year vision and roadmap for Crusoe's networking foundation, from fleet-wide architecture to fabric design.
- Vendor management strategy: Own Crusoe's long-term vendor management strategy for the network, including defining our cost structure and capital allocation.
- Platform targets: Set the performance, reliability, scalability, and cost targets the network must hit, including network cost per GPU and per server.
- Connectivity architecture: Own cross-DC and multi-site connectivity strategy, network topology, and failure-domain design.
- Technology strategy: Drive NIC, DPU, switch, and networking technology strategy, including evaluating new hardware generations and vendors.
- Structural investment: Identify structural limitations in the current architecture and prioritize the long-term investments that resolve them.
- Engineering partnership: Partner with Infrastructure Engineering and Architecture on major technical tradeoffs, and define the product requirements and business rationale behind foundational investments.
- Executive communication: Represent networking foundations in leadership reviews, translating architecture and vendor tradeoffs into clear decision docs.
