- 5+ years of experience in cloud operations, SRE, or related roles
- Understanding of cloud platforms and infrastructure fundamentals (Kubernetes, AWS/GCP, virtualization, distributed systems)
- Familiarity with incident management practices and operational frameworks (SRE/ITIL/etc.)
- Experience with monitoring and alerting tools (Prometheus, Grafana) or a strong willingness to learn
- Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code and configuration management tools such as Terraform and Ansible
- Basic Scripting and automation experience (Go, Python, C, C++, or similar)
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate technical issues to diverse stakeholders
- Ability to stay calm, focused, and effective in fast-moving or high-pressure situations
- A growth mindset with enthusiasm for operational excellence, reliability engineering, and continuous improvement
Desirable
- Experience with Kubernetes, container orchestration, or large-scale distributed systems
- Exposure to change management, operational readiness reviews, or structured RCAs
- Familiarity with self-healing systems, automated remediation, or event-driven operations
- Interest in scaling AI/HPC infrastructure and solving reliability challenges in GPU-heavy environments
- Passion for learning, mentorship, and developing deeper SRE capabilities over time
What the job involves
- As a Site Reliability Engineer focused on Operational Excellence, you will help ensure the stability, resilience, and performance of Crusoe’s GPU cloud
- You’ll partner closely with senior SREs, infrastructure engineers, and platform teams to improve reliability, reduce operational toil, and strengthen Crusoe’s incident management practices
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define and refine availability metrics for Crusoe’s cloud infrastructure, including establishing, tracking, and improving SLIs and SLOs
- Assist in incident response by identifying, diagnosing, and resolving service disruptions, and support post-incident processes through RCA documentation and participation in post-incident reviews
- Build, operate, and monitor infrastructure health using Crusoe’s observability stack (Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager, OpenTelemetry)
- Identify and communicate reliability risks, performance bottlenecks, and early indicators of potential incidents that could impact service availability
- Develop automation and tooling to reduce operational toil, minimize manual intervention, and enhance service recovery and self-healing capabilities
- Partner with compute, network, storage, and platform teams to improve service resilience and strengthen disaster recovery readiness
- Contribute to knowledge sharing, process improvements, and the development of operational best practices across the organization
- Participate in ongoing training, mentorship, and professional development to grow into advanced SRE responsibilities
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 $1.4B in its latest 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.
