From Crusoe's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
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.
The Cloud Storage team at Crusoe is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to serve as a primary architect and visionary for our storage strategy. While a Staff Engineer leads features, a Senior Staff Engineer defines the multi-year technical roadmap that underpins our AI-scale infrastructure. You will be a multiplier, responsible for the architectural strategy, integrity and global scalability of our bespoke storage services.
You will work at the physics of the stack, bridging the gap between high-performance NVMe hardware and globally distributed, S3-competitive object stores.
Define and drive the long-term technical strategy for Crusoe’s storage engine. Identify industry trends (e.g., CXL, NVMe-oF) and integrate them into a cohesive roadmap.
Leverage proven experience in system programming with languages such as C, C++, Go, and/or Rust to build the foundations of our V2 storage re-architecture.
Architect and implement solutions utilizing industry-standard storage protocols such as NFS, SMB, iSCSI, and NVMe/TCP.
Drive and maintain a track record of contributions to the open-source community (e.g., Ceph, GlusterFS, Lustre, Spectrum Scale, OpenEBS
).
Serve as the final arbiter for critical architecture decisions across the Foundations organization. Lead complex design reviews that intersect storage, networking, and virtualization.
Lead "tiger teams" to solve the most ambiguous and difficult bottlenecks in the stack—from kernel-level IO context switching to global tail-latency in distributed clusters.
Work closely with Executive Leadership and Product to align technical capabilities with business milestones, such as our imminent path to IPO.
Compensation
Compensation will be paid in the range of up to $215,000 - $260,000 + Bonus. Restricted Stock Units are included in all offers. Compensation to be determined by the applicants knowledge, education, and abilities, as well as internal equity and alignment with market data.
