About the role
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.

Lead cross-functional root cause investigations involving compute, networking (IB/RDMA/RoCE), storage, and orchestration layers. Partner with SRE, Software teams (Storage, Networking, Compute, K8) to design systemic fixes rather than recurring workarounds. Reliability Architecture Design and improve node validation, burn-in processes, performance baselining, and release readiness. Influence Kubernetes architecture, workload orchestration (Slurm, Terraform), and AI/ML cluster stability. Reduce MTTR and incident recurrence through structural improvements. AI/ML Infrastructure Expertise Troubleshoot NCCL, IB, GPU driver/firmware issues, distributed training failures. Support complex AI workloads (training + inference) with performance tuning and observability improvements.
