Staff Software Engineer, Developer Experience

Crusoe is on a mission to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence. As the only vertically integrated AI infrastructure company built from the ground up, we own and operate each layer of the stack — from electrons to tokens — to power the world's most ambitious AI workloads. When you join Crusoe, you join a team that is building the future, faster.

We're in the midst of the greatest industrial revolution of our time. The demand for AI compute is boundless, and power is a bottleneck. We're solving that — with an energy-first approach that makes AI infrastructure better for the world and faster for the people innovating with AI.

We're looking for problem-solving, opportunity-finding teammates with a sense of urgency, who believe in the scale of our ambition and thrive on a path not fully paved — people who want to grow their careers alongside a team of experts across energy, manufacturing, data center construction, and cloud services.

If you want to do the most meaningful work of your career, help our customers and partners advance their AI strategies, and be part of a high-performing team that believes in each other, come build with us at Crusoe.

ABOUT THIS ROLE

The Developer Experience (DevX) team is a high-impact group charged with fueling the future of Crusoe’s engineering muscle. We’re responsible for critical developer tools and infrastructure that are used by all of Crusoe engineering. We focus on accelerating development while ensuring we keep a high bar for quality.

This role holds a broad, mission-critical charter: to empower every Crusoe engineer to deliver positive change to customers quickly, safely, and efficiently. As a Staff Software Engineer you will need to work through ambiguity to justify investments to improve developer experience across the entire SDLC; tackling everything from local development, build optimization, code review/CI experience and AI tools.

You will play a critical role in shaping our technical direction, communicating a strategic vision, and fostering a company-wide culture of engineering excellence. By partnering with stakeholders across the organization, you will define the future state of Crusoe’s evolving software development efforts and eliminate the friction that stands between an engineer and their "flow state." This is a full-time position for a visionary builder who wants to influence the long-term technical objectives of a company aligning the future of computing with the future of the climate.

WHAT YOU’LL BE WORKING ON

Engineering Acceleration: Partner with the broader organization to build paved paths that engineers love to use. Our paved paths are fast, reliable and broadly adopted across all of engineering.

- Toil Elimination: Ruthlessly identify and automate away the friction and repetitive tasks that slow down the development process, keeping Crusoe engineers in a state of high productivity.

- Library & Environment Creation: Develop the libraries, tools, and pre-production environments necessary for vetting service APIs and complex microservice interactions.

- Ecosystem Integration: Unify internal tooling and vendor services to automate workflows, build operational efficiency, and optimize security across the development stack.

- Lifecycle Innovation: Innovate across every stage of the development lifecycle, including source code management, build systems, code review, CI/CD pipelines, platform runtimes, and telemetry.

- Culture of Quality: Lead efforts to establish a culture of continuous quality delivery that scales seamlessly as our engineering headcount and infrastructure grow.

- System Optimization: Work diligently to build efficient systems and processes that serve as a force multiplier for the impact of every engineer around you.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE TEAM

- Experience: Previous experience leading the development of developer tools and/or infrastructure for engineering teams

- Technical Decision-Making: Expert ability to evaluate …
