About the role

Crusoe seeks a Staff-level Forward-Deployed Engineer to partner with internal teams (SRE, Finance, Sales, People Ops, or product groups) to build interactive tooling, automation, and reusable platform components that accelerate internal workflows while maintaining governance and reliability.

Responsibilities

  • Embed with a stakeholder team. Participate in their rituals, observe manual workflows, and identify high-leverage work that software can remove.
  • Build applications. Build interactive tools that take action: read data, apply decisions, and write results back to systems of record.
  • Automate real workflows. Replace repetitive work with pipelines and agents that run independently and involve a person when judgment is required.
  • Own the work end to end. Scope problems with stakeholders, then build, deploy, measure adoption, and iterate. You are accountable for outcomes, with support from partner teams.
  • Contribute to the platform. Turn reusable parts of your work, such as skills, integrations, or UI patterns, into shared building blocks that accelerate future engagements.
  • Keep it correct. Build on sources of truth, respect governance and access controls, and make tooling reliable enough for daily operational use.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years building and owning production software.
  • Staff-level scope and judgment. You can take an ambiguous, greenfield charter and turn it into a plan and shipped software with limited direction. You raise technical standards and help engineers around you grow.
  • Full-stack engineering skill. You can build user-facing interfaces, backend services and APIs, and the supporting data layer.
  • Strong SQL and data modeling. You can navigate a data warehouse, reason about pipelines, and validate numbers before relying on them.
  • Product mindset and stakeholder fluency. You collaborate well with non-engineers, translate manual processes into clear tools, and push back when a request is not the right solution.
  • Fast delivery with attention to correctness. You get a useful version in front of users quickly, then harden it thoughtfully.
  • Comfort with AI-assisted development. You use LLM agents and automation platforms effectively, and understand where guardrails are required.
  • Strong ownership. You measure success by whether stakeholder work becomes easier, faster, and more reliable.
