About the role
You will define how Crux runs its TPU fleet, and build it so that AI agents, not people, do most of the operating. Reporting to our CTPO, you will own the telemetry that ties our facilities, clusters, and network together, the incident and change processes that govern them, and the autonomous systems that detect, triage, and remediate failures before a customer notices. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 15+ years in large-scale infrastructure operations, SRE, or network operations, including 7+ years leading multi-team organizations
- Ran production for a cloud, hyperscaler, or colocation platform against hard SLAs across many sites
- Built and shipped AI-driven operations systems (event correlation, auto-remediation, agentic triage) at measurable scale
- Outcome driven and hands-on. You read the telemetry and write the agent yourself. This is a builder's seat, not a supervisory one
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.
