Role
Who you are
- This is a hands-on, customer-facing role requiring deep technical expertise in Kubernetes, MLOps, and cloud infrastructure
- Ideal candidates are passionate about AI infrastructure, fluent in containerized environments, and confident translating workloads across cloud platforms
- Deep Kubernetes Expertise: 3-5 years building and deploying containerized workloads. Experience with Helm, Terraform, Docker, and multi-node orchestration a must
- MLOps Deployment Experience: Demonstrated success deploying ML frameworks (e.g., Ray, MLflow, Airflow) on Kubernetes—especially for inference and model training workflows
- Hands-on Cloud Infrastructure Knowledge:Familiarity with compute, storage, networking, and scaling in AWS, GCP, or Azure. Experience translating workloads across clouds is highly desirable
- Customer-Facing Technical Confidence: Able to navigate stakeholder conversations, gather requirements, lead technical engagements, and support customers in both pre- and post-sales environments
- Strong Linux and CLI Proficiency:Comfortable operating in Linux environments and troubleshooting infrastructure issues via CLI
- Collaborative Energy: Strong communication skills and eagerness to partner cross-functionally with Engineering, Product, and Sales to make customers successful
Desirable
- Experience with Ray, Kubeflow, or other distributed ML orchestration platforms
- Exposure to Slurm, but with a primary focus on containerized MLOps over traditional HPC
- Multi-cloud deployment or migration experience (especially AWS ➝ Crusoe transitions)
- Content contributions (tech talks, blogs, public case studies
What the job involves
- Crusoe Cloud is seeking a Staff Solutions Engineer to work closely with our most strategic enterprise customers deploying AI/ML workloads on Crusoe’s high-performance GPU infrastructure
- You’ll guide customers through end-to-end deployment—owning the PoC process, optimizing workloads post-sale, and serving as a critical technical voice between our customers and engineering teams
- Customer Enablement: Lead technical onboarding and deployment of complex AI/ML workloads with strategic enterprise customers—owning the PoC through to post-sales optimization
- Kubernetes + MLOps Focus: Architect and deploy ML workloads using Kubernetes-based stacks (e.g., Ray, Kubeflow) Design infrastructure that balances performance, scalability, and efficiency
- Infrastructure-Centric Thinking: Go beyond abstracted services—deploy and optimize AI/ML workloads directly on Crusoe infrastructure. Ensure performance at the container and hardware level
- Cross-Cloud Translation: Help customers migrate and adapt workloads across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Understand and explain the tradeoffs between cloud-native and Crusoe-native approaches
- Technical Storytelling: Conduct workshops, live demos, and solution reviews. Contribute to case studies, solution briefs, and blog posts that highlight real-world customer success
- Voice of the Customer: Relay feedback to internal engineering and product teams to continuously improve Crusoe’s platform based on real-world implementation experience
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.
