Director, Data Center Networking

Built to set the gold standard for integrated AI infrastructure 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. Crux AI is led by CEO, Ben Treynor Sloss, who spent over two decades in executive technical leadership at Google, led the creation of Google’s global network, and founded the Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) discipline. At Crux AI, we treat operations and network infrastructure fundamentally as a software engineering problem.
