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
Build at scale: Own the core services behind Crusoe Cloud's managed container registry, serving the images that training and inference workloads run on.
Ship end-to-end: Take strategic, high-impact components from design through production, and stay accountable for their scalability, reliability and maintainability.
Push performance limits: Drive performance improvements, squash bottlenecks, get ahead of demand before it arrives. Make the architecture tradeoffs that keep the system dependable as it grows.
Stay hands-on: Guide the team through architecture decisions and design and code reviews, while remaining actively involved in the codebase to tackle complex challenges.
Influence beyond your team: Shape technical designs within the team and across adjacent ones. Drive dialogue with product and platform partners to align on priorities and system trade-offs.
Distributed systems at scale: You have proven success designing, scaling, and hardening distributed systems, all while keeping them reliable under high-load production environments.
What they're looking for
- A performance-driven mindset: You have practical experience profiling, benchmarking, and optimizing distributed systems, with sound judgment about latency, throughput, caching, and resource tradeoffs.
- Thrive in ambiguity: You thrive on transforming ambiguous performance problems into measured action and durable fixes. You work ahead of demand, identifying constraints before they reach customers.
- A track record of ownership: You've led complex projects from design through deployment, carried them in production, and made difficult calls under visible risk and conflicting requirements.
- A customer-centric mindset: You keep the customers top of mind, and you can translate their needs into actionable changes in the codebase.
