About the role

Senior leadership- level platform engineer building Crusoe’s Cloud Availability Platform to enable autonomous, fleet-wide operations for Crusoe’s AI compute infrastructure.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build core platform services: RBAC, tenancy, the workflow engine, policy engine, and state reconciler that drive fleet actions safely at scale.
  • Design the public face of the platform: the API gateway, resource model, and versioned API contracts that fleet, SRE, and product teams build against.
  • Build SDKs, workflow templates, and golden paths that make the platform self-serve, plus the developer portal and micro frontend framework that let teams bring their own UI surfaces.
  • Build the inventory and topology graph as the fleet's source of intended truth, and the pipelines that keep it honest against reality (metadata drift is one of our top verified incident root causes; you will kill it).
  • Build site, GPU, and network agents and the event bus that moves fleet telemetry and commands reliably.
  • Deliver the platform roadmap: pilot site on the foundation layer, first site deployed entirely through the platform, zero-downtime firmware upgrades, first fully automated RMA, then 100K+ GPUs on platform with MTTD under 60 seconds and MTTR under 30 minutes.
  • Work with embedded engineers from fleet and production engineering who bring the operational scar tissue, and turn it into services other teams extend.

Qualifications

  • 10+ years building distributed systems, control planes, or infrastructure platforms.
  • Strong software engineering skills in Go, Python, or Rust.
  • Experience building platforms other engineers consume: public or internal APIs, SDKs, or developer tooling with real adoption.
  • Depth in at least one of: workflow/orchestration engines (Temporal or similar), event-driven architectures, graph data models, policy/rules engines, or reconciliation-based control loops (Kubernetes operator patterns).
  • Experience running what you build: you have carried a pager for a platform other teams depend on.
  • Systems thinking across the hardware/software boundary.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, or a closely related technical field.
