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

  • Customer-Facing Feature Development: Build and scale core platform services end-to-end — from greenfield 0-to-1 projects to scaling systems handling growing production traffic.

  • Edge & Agents Technical Oversight: Serve as the team's subject matter expert on edge software. Review existing agent architectures, provide technical guidance on inflight designs, and shape how we build and operate software at the system level.

  • Edge Agent Development: Build and maintain lightweight, high-reliability agents deployed on customer VMs. Minimize CPU/memory footprint without sacrificing observability coverage.

  • Linux Kernel Metrics & eBPF: Instrument low-level system metrics using eBPF and procfs to power Crusoe's monitoring and telemetry pipeline.

  • Packaging & Distribution: Own agent packaging and deployment via Helm charts, ensuring smooth delivery across customer environments.

  • Pull-Based Scraping Architecture: Design and evolve the "pull" scraping logic that collects metrics from customer infrastructure with minimal operational overhead.

What they're looking for

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Control Plane, Storage, and SRE teams to ensure agent data feeds are reliable, well-structured, and operationally sound.
  • Cross-Team Bridge: Serve as the technical bridge between the Managed Platform Services team and adjacent infrastructure teams — including SRE and Compute — who work on the cloud hypervisor and lower-level platform layers. Build enough expertise in their domains to collaborate effectively, represent your team's requirements clearly, and influence decisions that affect the edge agent stack.
  • Technical Leadership: Set patterns and frameworks adopted across the team. Mentor senior engineers, contribute to architecture decisions, and help scope quarterly roadmap items with engineering and product leadership.
  • Systems Programming Expertise: Strong proficiency in Python, Go, and/or Shell scripting, with comfort working across languages as the problem demands.
