Staff Technical Program Manager, Firmware Lifecycle and Release Management

Role description

Role Overview

As a Staff Technical Program Manager, you will own the end-to-end release lifecycle for versioned firmware and software baselines across our GPU fleet. You will lead complex releases across Compute, Networking, Storage, Orchestration, and Operations, and design the release calendars, validation frameworks, and metrics that let Crusoe scale them predictably.

What You Will Do

You will own the Release Lifecycle End to End, Orchestrate Cross-Functional Releases, Lead Fleet-Wide Upgrade Campaigns, Drive Security and CVE Response, Govern Vendor Relationships, Build the Machine, Surface Risk and Drive Decisions, and Improve Continuously.

Why It Might Be a Fit

We're looking for problem-solving, opportunity-finding teammates with a sense of urgency, who believe in the scale of our ambition and thrive on a path not fully paved. You will be part of a high-performing team that believes in each other, and help our customers and partners advance their AI strategies.
