Senior Software Engineer, Platform Networking

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 ut This Role:

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to build a platform for network tooling that supports edge, backbone, and data center operations and deployment tasks at Crusoe Cloud, a leading cloud provider. This role is central to how Crusoe Cloud manages and operates its network infrastructure across diverse environments, providing the tooling that operations and engineering teams rely on to deploy, monitor, and maintain the network reliably  Crusoe Cloud scales, the reliability and usability of this tooling directly impacts the speed and efficiency of network operations across the company.
