## 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
