We aim to align the long term interests of the climate with the future of global computing infrastructure. As data centers consume an exponentially growing power footprint to deliver technology to all connected devices, we are inspired by making sure that the energy meeting that demand is sourced in an environmentally responsible fashion. Crusoe co-locates mobile data centers with stranded energy resources, like flare gas and underloaded renewables, to deliver low-cost, carbon-negative distributed computing solutions. Crusoe Cloud is a managed cloud services platform powered by stranded energy that enables climate-friendly innovation in computationally intensive fields including artificial intelligence, graphics rendering, and computational biology.

About the Role:

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.

A Day In The Life:

• 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.

You Will Thrive In This Role If You Have:

• You have expertise in understanding technical decisions, evaluating tradeoffs, and how these decisions impact individuals who will use what you build to optimize their work.

• 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.

• You enjoy working side-by-side with other top-notch engineers.

• You hold either a BS or MS Degree in an Engineering or Analytical field (e.g., Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, Operations Research, Management Science) or equivalent experience.

Benefits:

• Hybrid work schedule
