Senior Developer Engineer — Accelerate Dev Velocity

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.

About the Role:

Crusoe Developer Experience is a new team charged with fueling the future of Crusoe’s developer muscle. We set the tone for how engineering is done, ensuring that as Crusoe grows, their developer systems and code delivery capacity grow as well. We have a very broad charter that spans the software life cycle from design through coding, testing, and deployment. Our mission is to empower Crusoe engineers to deliver positive change to customers quickly, safely and efficiently.

As an early member of the Developer Experience team, you will play a key part in unlocking the potential of Crusoe’s coding ecosystem. At Crusoe, you will be challenged with deep problems such as kernel upgrades as well as broad problems such as establishing first principles around unit testing, code reviews and rollouts.

As a member of this team, you will take a key role in contributing to technical direction, communicating a strategic vision, and establishing a company culture of engineering excellence. You will work alongside stakeholders and customers to ensure that our work is aligned with long term company objectives - informing those objectives along the way. You’ll also lead efforts to define the future state of Crusoe’s evolving and rapidly growing software development efforts.

A Day In The Life:

• Partner with the broader engineering organization to build and define standard practices for how services are operated and observed throughout their lifecycle.

• Establish an opinionated, flexible and cost-effective toolchain for delivering customer value at scale.

• Fully integrate Crusoe’s developer systems to keep our developers in the flow state, ruthlessly eliminating toil that slows us down.

• Immerse yourself in the developer experience so that you can identify and eliminate pain points.

• Create libraries, tools, and pre-production environments for vetting service APIs and interactions between microservices.

• Unify both internal tooling and vendor services to automate, build efficiency, and optimize security.

• Innovate across the development lifecycle from source code, editors, build, CI, CD, platform runtime environments, telemetry, optimizations, monitoring and alerting.

• Establish a culture of continuous quality delivery that scales as Crusoe scales.

• Work diligently to build quality, efficient systems and processes to increase the impact of engineers around you.

You Will Thrive In This Role If You Have:

• You have expertise in understanding technical decisions, evaluating tradeoffs, and how these decisions impact individuals who will use what you build to optimize their work.

• Are knowledgeable on how to leverage Gitlab to work with multiple repositories or Github.

• You have fluent knowledge of industry-standard build tooling, containerization, and open source development tools, libraries, and frameworks.

• Have experience working with modern build systems like Buck, Bazel, or others.

• Have professional experience working with Kubernetes clusters or Kubernetes in general.

• You have…
