Senior Software Engineer, Crusoe Energy Systems

• Experience: You have 5 - 8 years of professional software development experience, including time spent building and operating distributed systems but we care more about what you've built than the exact number
• Distributed systems at scale: You have proven success designing, scaling, and hardening distributed systems, all while keeping them reliable under high-load production environments
• A performance-driven mindset: You have practical experience profiling, benchmarking, and optimizing distributed systems, with sound judgment about latency, throughput, caching, and resource tradeoffs
• Thrive in ambiguity: You thrive on transforming ambiguous performance problems into measured action and durable fixes. You work ahead of demand, identifying constraints before they reach customers
• A track record of ownership: You've led complex projects from design through deployment, carried them in production, and made difficult calls under visible risk and conflicting requirements
• A customer-centric mindset: You keep the customers top of mind, and you can translate their needs into actionable changes in the codebase
• Technical & infrastructure proficiency: You have strong fundamentals in microservices and cloud-native infrastructure technologies (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform) alongside languages like Go, Rust, Java, or C++
• Collaboration and communication: You are comfortable working across functions to align on priorities and to explain technical tradeoffs clearly to technical and non-technical partners alike
• Mentorship: You have an interest in growing other engineers, such as mentoring teammates on the team's systems, helping newer engineers find their footing, or contributing to how we hire

Desirable

• Ship end-to-end: Take strategic, high-impact components from design through production, and stay accountable for their scalability, reliability and maintainability
• Push performance limits: Drive performance improvements, squash bottlenecks, get ahead of demand before it arrives. Make the architecture tradeoffs that keep the system dependable as it grows
• Stay hands-on: Guide the team through architecture decisions and design and code reviews, while remaining actively involved in the codebase to tackle complex challenges
• Influence beyond your team: Shape technical designs within the team and across adjacent ones. Drive dialogue with product and platform partners to align on priorities and system trade-offs
