Senior Production Engineer, SDNActive$170K–$205K

The opportunity

Crusoe is on a mission to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence . As the only vertically integrated AI infrastructure company built from the ground up, we own and operate each layer of the stack — from electrons to tokens — to power the world's most ambitious AI workloads.

What you'll do

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related: technical field, or equivalent practical experience

  • + years of professional experience in PE, systems, or networking engineering

  • Demonstrated experience automating network provisioning, configuration, and: remediation — hands-on rack-and-stack or manual configuration alone is not a fit for this role

  • Hands-on experience with SDN platforms and protocols (e.g., Open vSwitch,: ONOS, Tungsten Fabric, Calico, Cilium, EVPN/VXLAN)

  • Proficiency in a programming language such as Python, Go, or C

  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code and deployment tooling such as Terraform, Ansible, or Puppet

What they're looking for

  • Deep knowledge of Linux internals with a focus on networking subsystems, kernel modules, and packet scheduling
  • Familiarity with network protocols such as BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, MPLS, and network virtualization technologies
  • Strong experience working with containerized workloads and orchestration: platforms (e.g., Kubernetes, Docker), particularly around CNI plugins (Calico, Cilium) and Kubernetes-layer service networking — candidates should speak to networking/CNI work, not general Kubernetes cluster management
  • Excellent incident response, troubleshooting, and documentation practices
