Role
Who you are
- 10+ years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years in AI/ML or AI application development
- Strong proficiency in Python and API development (REST, GraphQL, webhooks)
- Hands-on experience with enterprise integration platforms (e.g., Workato, MuleSoft, Zapier)
- Experience working with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, or similar)
- Deep understanding of agentic architectures, RAG patterns, and prompt engineering
- Experience designing scalable, distributed systems in cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
- Strong knowledge of microservices, event-driven architecture, and integration design patterns
- Experience with CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and DevOps practices
- Understanding of data security, privacy, and compliance considerations (SOC 2, GDPR)
Desirable
- Experience deploying agentic AI systems in production environments
- Familiarity with iPaaS platforms (Workato preferred) and enterprise automation ecosystems
- Experience with Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 automation and extensibility
- Knowledge of Model Context Protocol (MCP) or similar interoperability standards
- Experience implementing AI governance frameworks in enterprise settings
- Background in infrastructure, energy, or high-performance computing environments
- Contributions to open-source AI projects or technical thought leadership
What the job involves
- We’re seeking a Senior Staff Systems Engineer to play a key role in executing Crusoe’s 2026 Enterprise AI Strategy. In this role, you will design and build agentic AI systems that move the organization from simple information retrieval to orchestrated, multi-system automation.
- You’ll operate at the intersection of AI, enterprise systems, and integration platforms—building scalable agent workflows, enabling a citizen developer ecosystem, and establishing the technical foundations for an AI-powered operating model
- Designing and implementing agentic AI workflows using a modular, API-first architecture across platforms such as Workato ONE, Anthropic Claude, and Gemini
- Building autonomous agents that orchestrate workflows across enterprise systems (e.g., Salesforce, Coupa, Slack, Google Workspace)
- Architecting and integrating a unified data layer that enables AI agents to access and act on data across siloed systems
- Developing integrations, APIs, and custom connectors that enable scalable AI orchestration across business platforms
- Implementing MCP (Model Context Protocol) connectors and model-agnostic orchestration patterns
- Designing deployment pipelines and lifecycle management systems for AI agents in production environments
- Embedding security, data privacy, and compliance guardrails into all AI implementations
- Creating reusable templates, frameworks, and tooling to support a Citizen Developer Program
- Mentoring internal teams through code reviews, training, and technical enablement programs
- Evaluating emerging AI technologies and prototyping next-generation capabilities to advance agentic maturity
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.
