Job description

• The Cloud Storage team at Crusoe is looking for a Software Engineer I to join our team building and operating cloud storage infrastructure
• This is a great opportunity for an early-career engineer to grow their skills in distributed systems and storage engineering while contributing to high-performance, scalable, and reliable storage solutions
• You’ll work alongside experienced engineers, learning cloud storage primitives and storage engineering concepts as you take on increasingly independent ownership of features and projects
• Contribute to Engineering Efforts: Work with your team on cloud storage features, helping to implement well-scoped pieces of larger projects as defined by product and engineering leads
• Software Development: Write clean, well-tested, maintainable code with guidance from senior engineers. Contribute to design documentation for the features you work on. Participate in testing and rollout of software across the stack, from bare metal to user-facing APIs
• Technical Contribution: Take part in code reviews (both giving and receiving feedback), and participate in architecture and design discussions to build your understanding of the broader system
• Continuous Learning: Actively grow your technical skills through mentorship, pairing, and collaboration with teammates. Ask questions, seek feedback, and build foundational knowledge in distributed storage systems
• Cross-Team Collaboration: Participate in team initiatives like tech talks, open source exploration, and book clubs to broaden your exposure to the engineering organization

Benefits

• Health & wellbeing: Comprehensive health benefits designed to support your overall wellness
• Time away: Paid time off for vacations, family bonding, and unexpected needs

• Mental wellness: Resources and support for your emotional wellbeing and navigating life’s challenges

Foundational Technical Skills: Some hands-on experience (through internships, school projects, or ~1 year of professional work) with building or operating software systems; exposure to cloud infrastructure or distributed systems is a plus but not required

Technical Proficiency: Working knowledge of at least one programming language such as Java or Go. Basic understanding of Linux fundamentals and computer architecture concepts (willingness to deepen this knowledge on the job)

Growth Mindset: Strong desire to learn storage systems and distributed computing concepts, with a track record of picking up new technical skills quickly (coursework, personal projects, or prior roles)

Communication & Collaboration: Good communication skills and a collaborative mindset; comfortable asking questions and working closely with more senior engineers

Software Engineering Fundamentals: Familiarity with core software engineering practices — coding standards, code reviews, source control (e.g., Git), testing, and basic CI/CD or build processes. Eagerness to learn and adopt team best practices

Coursework, personal projects, or internship experience involving storage technologies (e.g., NVMe, SSDs) or distributed systems

Exposure to storage protocols such as NFS, SMB, iSCSI, or NVMe-oF

Any contributions to open source projects (school-related or personal)

Basic understanding of networking concepts (physical or software-defined)

Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)
