Staff Software Engineer, Network Automation

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 is seeking a Staff Network Automation Engineer to design and deliver the automation frameworks, observability platforms, and self-healing workflows that keep our global network fleet running at scale. This role sits at the intersection of Network Engineering, Software Engineering, and Infrastructure Reliability — and is central to Crusoe's mission of building AI infrastructure that scales intelligently, not just bigger.

You're a hands-on engineer who thinks like a software developer and operates like a network expert. You'll contribute to production automation systems that others depend on, partner with Architecture and Operations teams, and help raise the engineering bar across the org. This is a full-time role for someone who wants to work on hard problems at hyperscale.

• Production-quality software engineering skills in Python or Go, with CI/CD integration and platform-level thinking

• Hands-on experience with model-driven automation including gNMI, OpenConfig, NETCONF, and YANG

• Experience contributing to or owning a network source of truth platform such as NetBox or Nautobot

• Strong knowledge of Arista (EOS) and/or Juniper (Junos) in leaf-spine DC fabric environments

• Solid understanding of BGP, EVPN-VXLAN, and LLDP at data center scale

• Experience building or contributing to observability platforms using Prometheus, Grafana, and streaming telemetry tooling

• Experience with NVIDIA/Mellanox platforms in production environments

• Familiarity operating at fleet scale across thousands of network devices in multi-region environments

• Exposure to closed-loop, event-driven automation and auto-remediation systems

• Experience in hyperscale or internet-scale infrastructure (cloud providers, large CDNs, or AI/ML infrastructure companies)
