Role
Who you are
- This role is ideal for someone with strong backend development experience who’s excited to learn more about observability and distributed systems while contributing to critical platform services used by every engineering team
- 3–6 years of experience in backend or platform software development
- Strong programming skills in Go or Python (experience with both is a plus)
- Solid understanding of distributed systems, APIs, and data processing pipelines
- Familiarity with containerized environments and Kubernetes
- Experience building systems that process or store large volumes of data
- Interest in learning and contributing to observability, monitoring, or telemetry systems
- Collaborative mindset with an eagerness to work across infrastructure and platform teams
Desirable
- Exposure to observability tools like Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Loki, or Jaeger
- Experience with streaming or messaging systems (Kafka, NATS, Pulsar)
- Understanding of metrics pipelines, alerting systems, or log processing frameworks
- Experience in cloud infrastructure or SRE environments
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a backend engineer to help build and evolve the systems that power Crusoe Cloud’s observability platform. You’ll design and develop backend services and data pipelines that enable engineers to monitor, debug, and improve the performance of Crusoe’s global infrastructure
- Building and maintaining backend services and APIs that power observability and monitoring systems
- Designing reliable data ingestion and processing pipelines for metrics, logs, and traces
- Developing scalable storage and query layers for telemetry data using modern distributed systems
- Collaborating with platform and SRE teams to ensure system performance, reliability, and visibility
- Implementing automation and integrations that make observability data more actionable for engineers
- Helping to modernize and extend Crusoe’s internal observability tools and infrastructure
- Participating in code reviews, design discussions, and platform-wide technical initiatives
Our take
Methane, that is mostly generated by flaring in the oil and gas industry, is a major contributor to global warming - as are the carbon emissions produced by global computing (especially bitcoin mining.) Crusoe Energy Systems reduces flaring, and repurposes waste natural gas into energy for these processes, thus removing methane from the atmosphere and simultaneously reducing the carbon footprint of computing.
Crusoe's mobile data centers can be deployed to generate power from methane waste at its source. As well as its patented Digital Flare Mitigation system, Crusoe is also working to enable alternative revenue streams for renewable and clean energy projects, with the ultimate aim to run data centers on renewable energy.
The company has connections with Kraken Oil & Gas, Devon Energy, Enerplus, and more; and its computing power is used by institutes such as MIT. The rising pressure to take action on climate change, coupled with the need for high-energy computing as more infrastructure moves online, has placed it in a massive industry. With the capability of its systems to reduce the equivalent of 8,000 tonnes per year of CO2 and 2023 debt financing amounting to $200 million in investment, Crusoe Energy Systems is well positioned to make an impact and drive for further success.
