Senior/Staff Software Engineer – Managed Services

Crusoe Energy is on a mission to unlock value in stranded energy resources through the power of computation.

We aim to align the long term interests of the climate with the future of global computing infrastructure. As data centers consume an exponentially growing power footprint to deliver technology to all connected devices, we are inspired by making sure that the energy meeting that demand is sourced in an environmentally responsible fashion. Crusoe co-locates mobile data centers with stranded energy resources, like flare gas and underloaded renewables, to deliver low-cost, carbon-negative distributed computing solutions. Crusoe Cloud is a managed cloud services platform powered by stranded energy that enables climate-friendly innovation in computationally intensive fields including artificial intelligence, graphics rendering, and computational biology.

About the Role

We are looking for Senior/Staff Software engineers to help design and scale our carbon-reducing cloud computing platform. With Crusoe Cloud’s upcoming public launch, as a Software Engineer – Managed Services, you will help us advance our managed cloud offerings and build out best-in-class, out-of-the-box cloud capabilities for our customers. You’ll play a key role in designing and implementing foundational cloud products, such as storage solutions, logging, and monitoring systems, akin to services like Amazon S3 and CloudWatch. Your responsibilities will include evaluating and building cloud software tools and frameworks that solve core use cases for Crusoe’s customers, focusing on reliability, scalability, operational costs, ease of adoption and low-touch.

You’ll also be responsible for developing and refining technical assessments and team fit criteria to enhance our hiring and development processes. In collaboration with engineering managers, you’ll mentor engineers and contribute to their professional growth, ensuring a strong and adaptive engineering culture.
