Job description

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. When you join Crusoe, you join a team that is building the future, faster.

We’re in the midst of the greatest industrial revolution of our time. The demand for AI compute is boundless, and power is a bottleneck. We’re solving that - with an energy-first approach that makes AI infrastructure better for the world and faster for the people innovating with AI.

We’re looking for problem-solving, opportunity-finding teammates with a sense of urgency, who believe in the scale of our ambition and thrive on a path not fully paved - people who want to grow their careers alongside a team of experts across energy, manufacturing, data center construction, and cloud services.

If you want to do the most meaningful work of your career, help our customers and partners advance their AI strategies, and be part of a high-performing team that believes in each other, come build with us at Crusoe.

Crusoe’s Data Center Infrastructure Engineering (DCIE) team is fundamental to our mission of providing AI hardware and infrastructure as a service. The team provides infrastructure for Crusoe’s fleet GPU’s and data center. The team sits at the nexus of high performance computing and AI infrastructure as a service.

The DCIE team owns, deployment maintenance, observability, critical environment, and automation. The team builds, and maintains GPU clusters, develops automation for logical and physical maintenance, provision systems, and observability tooling.

About the Role:

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Software Engineer to join Crusoe’s Data Center Infrastructure Engineering team. This position is focused on the development of software for the management of a fleet of GPU servers as well as the data centers that house those systems.
