Senior Software Engineer, Datacenter Operations Platform Engineering

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.

We are seeking Senior Software Engineers to design and develop internal datacenter tooling and infrastructure management systems for Crusoe Cloud, a leading cloud provider. You will play a crucial role in building tools for datacenter facilities managers and capacity planners, as well as creating automation software to efficiently bring server hardware, switches, and other infrastructure components online.

You’ll help evaluate and implement tools and frameworks for our internal customers, focusing on reliability, scalability, operational efficiency, and ease of use. This role is central to streamlining infrastructure management processes and enhancing our cloud platform’s overall performance as we dramatically scale our hardware footprint.
