About the role
You will build the systems that let AI agents, not people, do most of the work of running Crux's TPU fleet. Reporting to our Director, AI Ops, you will be one of the first engineers on the team, writing the telemetry pipelines, correlation logic, and agents that detect, triage, and remediate failures across facilities, TPU hosts, the network, and the control plane before a customer notices. You will turn every runbook into code and every repeat incident into automation. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 10+ years in software engineering, SRE, or production engineering for large-scale infrastructure, including operating a fleet across many sites against hard SLAs
- Built and shipped AI-driven operations systems in production, such as event correlation, anomaly detection, auto-remediation, or agentic triage, with measurable results
- Strong software skills in Python or Go, and hands-on experience with observability stacks (for example Prometheus or OpenTelemetry), Kubernetes, and large-scale data pipelines
- SRE or production engineering at a hyperscaler (Google, Meta, Microsoft, AWS) or a neocloud (CoreWeave, Nebius, Lambda, Crusoe)
- Experience operating TPU or GPU clusters for large training and inference workloads, including hardware health, repair workflows, and fleet telemetry
- Experience with data center infrastructure telemetry such as BMS, DCIM, or power and cooling systems
More about this role
Crux AI is a newly formed, U.S.-based integrated AI infrastructure company created to remove the physical and operational constraints on consequential AI ambitions. Crux brings together power, high-density data centers, TPU silicon, networking, orchestration software, and ongoing operations as one integrated system.
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.
