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
Network State Management: Design and develop the systems that manage network state for Crusoe Cloud, including network provisioning, configuration management, topology/routing state, and control plane APIs that other teams and systems rely on.
Scaling the Control Plane: Contribute to and help drive engineering efforts to scale control plane systems reliably as Crusoe Cloud grows, handling increasing network scale, device counts, and infrastructure complexity.
Mentorship and Code Quality: Mentor fellow engineers and help uphold high standards in design and implementation. Provide guidance on technical assessments and code reviews to maintain quality across the team.
Build vs. Buy Decisions: Partner closely with product to assess and recommend whether to develop control plane software in house or leverage third party/open source solutions, balancing scalability, cost, and speed.
Cross Functional Partnership: Partner with product, operations, and other engineering teams to build control plane systems that align with Crusoe Cloud's growth and networking needs.
Reliability Engineering: Help design fault tolerant, distributed control plane systems to ensure high availability and resilience as Crusoe Cloud's network grows.
What they're looking for
- Engineering Best Practices: Advocate for modern software development, CI/CD, and infrastructure as code (IaC) practices to improve engineering velocity and control plane reliability.
- End to End Ownership: Take ownership of initiatives, from ideation through development and deployment, delivering control plane infrastructure that drives measurable impact for Crusoe Cloud.
- + years of professional software engineering experience, building backend systems in production.
- Proficiency in at least one modern backend language such as Go, Rust, C++, Java, or Python.
