Staff Software Engineer, (DEM)

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.

• 10+ years of industry experience (or 8+ with clear technical leadership) building and operating distributed systems in production, including leading a system from design through launch.

• Experience building control systems or closed-loop automation where wrong outputs have physical or financial consequences, such as autoscalers, admission control, rate limiting, power or thermal management, or industrial control software.

• Experience turning forecasting or simulation work into production services that other systems depend on, not one-off analyses.

• Depth with high-volume time-series telemetry: ingestion, aggregation, and reasoning about staleness, gaps, and measurement error.

• Fluency in Go or Rust.

• Comfort working directly with hardware and facility teams, and the ability to read an electrical one-line diagram or learn to quickly.

• The ability to explain a technical risk to senior engineering and business leaders in megawatts, dollars, and customer impact, and to change a decision with it.

• Strong written design skills. This role writes the RFCs others build from.

• A commitment to Crusoe’s company values.

• GPU energy management: NVIDIA DCGM/NVML, NVIDIA DPS, or AMD equivalents.

• Integration with BMCs (Redfish), PDUs, building management (BMS), or electrical power monitoring (EPMS) systems.

• Experience running large GPU or HPC fleets, or working on data center energy or capacity planning.

• Comfort with optimization and probabilistic methods for allocating scarce resources under risk, such as constraint solvers or failure analysis.

• Experience putting a dollar value on infrastructure choices, such as stranded power, build-out timing, or hardware utilization.

• Energy optimization software for generation, battery storage, or large grid-connected sites.

• Workload-aware scheduling with Kubernetes or Slurm.

• Predictive scaling or load forecasting at scale.
