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
Own the Network Automation Platform: Define the technical roadmap for Crusoe's automation stack, from source of truth and config generation through day-2 operations, telemetry, and closed-loop remediation across our global fleet.
Build the Source of Truth: Design and own the authoritative data model (NetBox, Nautobot, or equivalent) that drives all network configuration, validation, and operational state across teams.
Architect Intent-Based Configuration Systems: Lead the design and delivery of declarative, model-driven configuration pipelines using Python, Nornir, Ansible, Jinja2, and CI/CD, treating the network as code and making configuration drift impossible.
Drive Model-Driven Automation: Own Crusoe's gNMI, OpenConfig, and NETCONF/YANG strategy for telemetry collection, configuration management, and state validation across multi-vendor fabrics (Arista, Juniper, NVIDIA/Mellanox).
Build Self-Healing Workflows: Design and ship event-driven, auto-remediation systems that detect faults, correlate telemetry, and resolve known failure modes without human escalation.
Define the Observability Platform: Set the technical direction for Crusoe's telemetry, metrics, alerting, and dashboarding stack including Prometheus, Grafana, and streaming gNMI.
What they're looking for
- Influence Architecture for Automability: Partner with Network Architecture to ensure designs are automation-first from day one, deployable, validatable, and operable programmatically at scale.
- Mentor and Multiply: Provide technical guidance to Staff and Senior engineers. Drive code reviews, design reviews, and platform architecture decisions that raise the engineering bar across the org.
- + years of network engineering experience with a demonstrated focus on: production software engineering, platform engineering, and infrastructure as code in hyperscale or internet-scale environments.
- Demonstrated Technical Leadership: Proven track record of designing and shipping network automation platforms used by a broader engineering organization, not scripts, but systems others build on.
