Sr​/Software Engineer, Observability; Network Engineering

Crusoe's mission is to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence. We’re crafting the engine that powers a world where people can create ambitiously with AI — without sacrificing scale, speed, or sustainability.

Be a part of the AI revolution with sustainable technology e, you'll drive meaningful innovation, make a tangible impact, and join a team that’s setting the pace for responsible, transformative cloud infrastructure.

We are looking for a highly skilled engineer with deep expertise in building and operating observability platforms at scale.

As a Senior/Staff Software Engineer, Observability
, you'll be supporting our team of Network Engineers (no network engineering experience required). The Crusoe Cloud Network Engineering Team is responsible for designing, building, and operating the global edge, backbone, and data center network for High Performance Compute (HPC) Clusters with GPUs.

This is a unique opportunity wherein you'll be building an observability platform specific to devices; one that is language agnostic and scalable. You will design, develop, and run Crusoe’s next-generation observability stack, enabling engineers to understand the internal state of distributed systems through metrics, logs, and traces.

• Designing and operating scalable observability systems (metrics, logging, tracing) across multi-datacenter Kubernetes environments
• Architecting end-to-end telemetry pipelines, including ingestion, storage, querying, and visualization
• Extending monitoring and alerting with Prometheus, Alert manager, Thanos/Cortex, Grafana, and Open Telemetry
• Building scalable log collection and processing pipelines with Fluent Bit, Vector, Loki, or ELK/Open search stacks
• Implementing distributed tracing platforms (Tempo, Jaeger, Open Telemetry) and integrating with service meshes, load balancers, and APIs
• Defining and driving adoption of SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets across services and teams
• Automating provisioning and scaling of observability infrastructure with Kubernetes, Terraform, and custom tooling (Go, Python)
• Ensuring reliability and cost efficiency of telemetry pipelines while supporting high-volume workloads (AI/ML, HPC clusters, GPU infrastructure)
• Embedding security best practices into observability platforms, including RBAC, TLS, secret management, and multi-tenant access controls
• Mentoring engineers and shaping Crusoe’s observability strategy and technical roadmap

• 6+ years of experience with distributed systems, with a focus on observability and monitoring systems
• Deep expertise with metrics systems (Prometheus, Thanos, Mimir, Cortex), logging pipelines (Fluent Bit, Vector, Loki, ELK/Open search), and tracing platforms (Jaeger, Tempo, Open Telemetry)
• Strong programming skills in Go or Python for automation, operators, and custom integrations
• Experience running observability platforms on Kubernetes and operating them at scale across multi-datacenter environments
• Proven ability to design, optimize, and scale telemetry pipelines handling high cardinality and high throughput data
• Solid understanding of distributed systems, performance engineering, and debugging complex workloads
• Familiarity with service meshes, networking, and workload instrumentation (Envoy, Istio, Open Telemetry SDKs)
• Strong collaboration skills and the ability to influence engineering teams to adopt observability best practices

• Industry competitive pay
• Restricted Stock Units in a fast growing, well-funded technology company
• Health insurance package options that include HDHP and PPO, vision, and dental for you and your dependents
• Employer contributions to HSA accounts
• Paid Parental Leave
• Paid life insurance, short-term and long-term disability
• Teladoc
• 401(k) with a 100% match up to 4% of salary
• Generous paid time off and holiday schedule
• Cell phone reimbursement
• Tuition reimbursement
• Subscription to the Calm app
• Met Life Legal
• Company paid commuter benefit; $300 per month

Compensation will be paid in the range of $172,000 - $253,000 + Bonus. Restricted Stock Units are included in all offers. Compensation to be determined by the applicant’s education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities, as well as internal equity and alignment with market data.
