Engineering Manager, Cloud Monitoring Services Platform
Crusoe · San Francisco, CA - US
About this role
## Engineering Manager, Cloud Monitoring Services Platform Crusoe is on a mission to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence. As a vertically integrated AI infrastructure company, we own and operate each layer of the stack—from electrons to tokens—to power the world’s most ambitious AI workloads. ### About the Role Crusoe builds cloud infrastructure for AI workloads. **Cloud Monitoring Services** owns observability across Crusoe Cloud: **metrics, logs, alerting, and the telemetry agent** that runs on every node in the fleet. We’re hiring an **Engineering Manager** to lead the **Platform team**—focused on the **time series and log storage systems** and the **query layer** that serves every dashboard, API call, and investigation. This is a **first-line management** role reporting to the Engineering Manager for Cloud Monitoring Services. You’ll manage **4–6 engineers**, growing the team over time, and own how telemetry is **stored, retained, and read back at fleet scale**. This is a **people-first leadership** role with real delivery stakes. ### What You’ll Be Working On - **Grow and develop your team** (4–6 engineers): 1:1s, career growth, performance, and team health. - **Own storage and query**: time series + log storage systems and the query layer on top, including behavior under load and cost. - **Own delivery**: plan and sequence work across a roadmap mixing customer-facing features with storage/query infrastructure; escalate early when plans are at risk. - **Set technical direction**: partner with Staff engineers to ask hard questions and make sound tradeoff calls. - **Keep the operational bar high**: query is on the critical path during fleet issues—availability, performance, and correctness are core. - **Own the oncall rotation** and operational health of the storage/query stack. - **Manage cost and scale together**: retention policy, downsampling, cardinality, and storage tiering. - **Coordinate across team boundaries**: consume outputs from collection/ingestion and serve internal and external customers. - **Shape the team over time**: recruiting support, interview loop, and onboarding. - **Collaborate across functions**: align priorities with product, neighboring infrastructure teams, peer managers, and leadership. ### What You’ll Bring to the Team - **People-first mindset**: you want your engineers to grow; you measure success through your team. - **Technical depth**: 5+ years hands-on backend/distributed systems experience (e.g., databases, storage engines, query engines, streaming pipelines) and familiarity with **Kubernetes**. - **Engineering management experience**: 2+ years managing software engineers directly, including performance cycles and career conversations. - **Coaching experience**: comfort partnering with strong technical leads (senior/staff). - **Track record of shipping**: delivered multi-phase projects against fixed deadlines. - **Operational judgment**: ran teams owning systems customers depend on during incidents. - **Strong communication and judgment**: align technical and non-technical partners; provide clarity on what matters and why. ### Bonus Points - Time series databases / columnar storage at scale (e.g., Prometheus, Thanos, Mimir, VictoriaMetrics, InfluxDB, ClickHouse) - Query engines and query cost control (planning, pushdown, caching, concurrency limits) - Retention, compaction, downsampling, storage tiering for large telemetry/event datasets - Log storage/search systems (e.g., L
