About the role

You own matching demand and supply at every level of Crux’s stack — data center, chips, racks, and networking, by location and by customer — so that Crux meets its customer commitments and grows profitably. Manage a multi-echelon inventory with right-sized buffers, optimized against business goals to hedge both demand and supply uncertainty while respecting lead times and other business constraints.

What they're looking for

  • Built forecasting, inventory optimization, and replenishment systems that reconciled sales forecasts, constrained supply, and long-lead-time physical assets, with the quantitative and modeling depth to do the work yourself
  • Direct experience planning accelerated compute capacity — GPU or TPU fleets, cluster deployments, or AI infrastructure
  • Familiarity with data center development timelines, power procurement, and site readiness milestones
  • Background in operations research, supply chain optimization, or S&OP systems implementation in a fast-growing company

Crux is being capitalized to plan every layer together, develop each one to demanding standards, and operate the whole system with efficiency and reliability. That gives hyperscalers, frontier AI labs, sovereign customers, enterprises, and AI-native companies greater freedom to pursue the AI they are here to create.
