Cloud Engineering
Crusoe's mission is to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence. We’re crafting the engine that powers a world where people can create ambitiously with AI — without sacrificing scale, speed, or sustainability.
Be a part of the AI revolution with sustainable technology at Crusoe. Here, you'll drive meaningful innovation, make a tangible impact, and join a team that’s setting the pace for responsible, transformative cloud infrastructure.
As a Principal Site Reliability Engineer, you will play a critical role in designing and operating a next-generation NeoCloud built for AI, GPU, and high-performance workloads. This role sits at the intersection of infrastructure architecture, reliability engineering, and technical leadership. You’ll set reliability strategy, influence platform design, and ensure the cloud scales safely, efficiently, and predictably as customer demand accelerates.
You are a hands-on technical leader who thrives in complex distributed systems, drives clarity in ambiguous environments, and raises the bar for operational excellence across the organization.
Define and own the reliability architecture for a NeoCloud platform supporting GPU-dense, latency-sensitive, and large-scale distributed workloads
Design and evolve SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets that meaningfully balance reliability, velocity, and customer experience
Lead incident response strategy for high-severity events, including root cause analysis and long-term remediation
Architect and improve observability systems (metrics, logs, tracing) to support rapid detection and diagnosis at scale
Partner with Infrastructure, Networking, Hardware, and Platform teams to influence system design before production issues occur
Drive automation across provisioning, deployment, capacity management, and failure recovery
Establish best practices for on-call health, operational readiness, and production change management
Serve as a technical authority and mentor for senior and staff-level engineers across the SRE and infrastructure org
10+ years of experience operating and scaling large-scale distributed systems in production environments
Deep expertise in SRE principles: reliability modeling, incident management, toil reduction, and systems thinking
Strong background in cloud or infrastructure platforms (public cloud, private cloud, or NeoCloud environments)
Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and containerized workloads at scale
Proficiency in one or more programming languages (Go, Python, Rust, or similar) with production-grade code ownership
Strong understanding of Linux systems, networking fundamentals, and performance bottlenecks
Proven ability to lead through influence — setting direction across teams without direct authority
Exceptional communication skills, especially during high-stakes incidents and cross-functional decision-making
Experience supporting GPU-based, AI/ML, or HPC workloads
Familiarity with bare-metal provisioning, hardware lifecycle management, or data center operations
Experience building or scaling a NeoCloud or cloud-adjacent platform from early growth to maturity
Background in capacity planning for GPU, storage, or high-throughput networking environments
Passion for sustainable infrastructure or next-generation cloud architectures
