Staff Network Production Engineer, Deployment

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.

Crusoe Cloud is seeking a high-energy, detail-oriented Senior Network Production Engineer to support the physical and logical implementation of our global network. As we rapidly expand our footprint of high-performance compute (HPC) and GPU-based AI infrastructure, this role plays a key part in bringing new data centers and edge sites online, directly enabling the scale and reliability our AI cloud customers depend on.

This is a technical, hands-on, full-time role that sits at the intersection of Network Engineering, Data Center Operations, and Project Management. The ideal candidate is comfortable both on-site and remote, follows and helps refine deployment standards, and takes ownership of ensuring every switch, router, and fiber optic link is deployed to spec, validated, and seamlessly handed off to our Operations team.

• 5+ years of experience in network engineering with a focus on large-scale data center deployments and infrastructure projects.

• Strong knowledge of physical layer standards: solid experience with structured cabling (SMF/MMF, MPO/MTP), optical transceivers (400G/800G), and data center power/cooling requirements.

• Solid routing and switching knowledge: hands-on experience configuring Arista (EOS), Juniper (Junos), and NVIDIA/Mellanox platforms in a leaf-spine architecture.

• Protocol familiarity: working understanding of BGP, EVPN-VXLAN, and LLDP as they relate to large-scale fabric provisioning.

• Automation-minded: proficiency in Python and Ansible for automating repetitive deployment tasks and validating configuration state.

• Logistical skills: ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously across different time zones and physical locations.

• Troubleshooting skills: ability to diagnose physical layer and link-layer issues using OTDRs, light meters, and packet captures.

• Education: Bachelor's degree in a technical field or equivalent practical experience in hyperscale or ISP environments.

• Experience working in hyperscale, ISP, or large multi-tenant data center environments.

• Familiarity with GPU cluster networking (e.g., RDMA/RoCE, InfiniBand, or NVIDIA NCCL-aware fabric design).

• Exposure to network monitoring and observability tooling (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, telemetry-based fabric health checks).

• Vendor certifications such as CCNP, JNCIP, or Arista ACE.

• Prior experience mentoring junior engineers or contributing to deployment standards/documentation.
