Role
Who you are
- Cloud Expertise: Proven ability to design and scale fault-tolerant distributed systems and build managed cloud services that customers rely on directly
- Observability Familiarity: Experience with observability data and technologies, such as log aggregation, time-series databases, or distributed tracing. Familiarity with tools like Loki, VictoriaMetrics, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, or similar is a plus
- Product Ownership: Experience owning a customer-facing service or product surface end to end, including API design, rollout, and iterating based on customer feedback
- Customer-Centric Mindset: A genuine interest in how customers experience your work. You notice friction, you care about defaults and error messages, and you measure success by what customers can do without help
- Technical Proficiency: Strong fundamentals in microservices and infrastructure technologies like Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD systems
- Collaboration Skills: Ability to work with cross-functional teams to align priorities and deliver customer-first solutions
- Communication Skills: Clear ability to articulate technical ideas and connect design decisions to customer needs
- Mentorship: Willingness to mentor earlier-career engineers and contribute to a strong, inclusive engineering culture
- Professional Experience: 5+ years of software development experience, including programming with modern compiled languages such as Go, Rust, Java, or C++
What the job involves
- We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to build and own customer-facing observability products within Crusoe Cloud's Cloud Monitoring Service
- This team delivers the managed logs experience and self-service observability capabilities that let customers collect, search, and act on their telemetry without filing a ticket or waiting on us
- You will own product surfaces end to end, from the APIs and backend services through the onboarding and configuration experience, with a strong focus on reliability and ease of use. This is a full-time position
- Owning Customer-Facing Services: Design, build, and operate the services behind our managed logs product, including ingestion endpoints, query APIs, retention and access controls, and the workflows customers use to onboard and configure them
- Self-Service Experience: Turn workflows that today require manual steps or internal involvement into clean, low-touch product experiences. Build the APIs, defaults, and guardrails that let customers get to value quickly and safely on their own
- Scalable Design: Design services that are highly scalable, durable, and reliable while staying simple to use. Reason about multi-tenancy, quota and limits, cost visibility, and predictable behavior under heavy customer load
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with product, cloud support, and site reliability teams to understand where customers get stuck, and turn that feedback into roadmap items and shipped improvements
- Operational Excellence: Participate in a customer-facing on-call rotation. Improve alerting quality, runbooks, and automation so the product gets easier to operate as it grows, not harder
- Innovation: Implement features that differentiate Crusoe Cloud's observability offering, focusing on low-touch adoption, sensible defaults, and turn-key integration with the AI workloads our customers run
Our take
Crusoe is tackling one of the biggest challenges facing the digital age: the enormous energy demand of data centres and AI infrastructure. As AI models grow more powerful, they require immense computing power (and therefor electricity) to train and operate. This surge in energy use has put some pressure on power grids, driven up costs, and raised environmental concerns. Crusoe is on a mission to make this process more sustainable by finding smarter, cleaner, and more efficient ways to power the data centres that drive modern computing.
The company started out by putting wasted energy to work. Originally known as Crusoe Energy, it captured natural gas that would otherwise be burned off ("flared") at remote oil sites and used it to power modular data centres. Today, Crusoe has evolved into a major player in AI infrastructure, designing and operating large-scale data centres near renewable or stranded energy sources. It's now one of a handful of "neocloud" companies (next-generation cloud providers focused on flexible, efficient computing for AI workloads). And its facilities are helping tech giants like OpenAI handle the massive computing requirements of training advanced AI models.
Recently, Crusoe has attracted some huge investor attention, tripling its valuation to over $10B and raising almost $1.4B in its 2025 funding round. It's building OpenAI's first major US data centre campus and even experimenting with bold new frontiers. In partnership with Starcloud, Crusoe plans to deploy the world's first space-based cloud computing infrastructure, powered by solar energy and orbiting the Earth by 2027. If successful, this could redefine how and where computing happens, opening up a cleaner, virtually limitless source of energy for AI's next generation.
