- You have fluent knowledge of industry-standard build tooling, containerization, and open source development tools, libraries, and frameworks
- You have an understanding of data structures, storage systems, distributed systems, and cloud infrastructure
- You have experience in relevant and modern open source programming languages (we use Golang)
- You have empathy for developer and operator workflows and productivity
- You have passion for staying current on recent industry practices, open source advancements and an efficient developer community
- You like solving complex problems and then automating the solutions

What the job involves
- Crusoe Developer Productivity is a new team charged with fueling the future of Crusoe’s developer muscle. We set the tone for how engineering is done, ensuring that as Crusoe grows, their developer systems and code delivery capacity grows as well. We have a very broad charter that spans the software life cycle from design through coding, testing and deployment.
- Our mission is to empower Crusoe engineers to deliver positive change to customers quickly, safely and efficiently. As an early member of the Developer Productivity team you will play a key part in unlocking the potential of Crusoe’s coding ecosystem. At Crusoe you will be challenged with deep problems such as kernel upgrades as well as broad problems such as establishing first principles around unit testing, code reviews and rollouts
- As a senior member of this team you will take a key role in defining technical direction, communicating a strategic vision, and establishing a company culture of engineering excellence. You will work alongside stakeholders and customers to ensure that our work is aligned with long term company objectives - informing those objectives along the way. You’ll also lead efforts to define the future state of Crusoe’s evolving and rapidly growing software development efforts
- Partner with the broader engineering organization to build and define standard practices for how services are operated and observed throughout their lifecycle
- Establish an opinionated, flexible and cost-effective toolchain for delivering customer value at scale
- Fully integrate Crusoe’s developer systems to keep our developers in the flow state, ruthlessly eliminating toil that slows us down
- Immerse yourself with the developer experience so that you can identify and eliminate pain points
- Create libraries, tools, and pre-production environments for vetting service APIs and interactions between microservices
- Unify both internal tooling and vendor services to automate, build efficiency, and optimize security
- Innovate across the development lifecycle from source code, editors, build, CI, CD, platform runtime environments, telemetry, optimizations, monitoring and alerting
- Establish a culture of continuous quality delivery that scales as Crusoe scales
- Work diligently to build quality, efficient systems and processes to increase the impact of engineers around you
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.
