Staff Engineer, Crusoe Managed Data Transfer (Distributed Systems)

Role description

Role Overview

Join Crusoe's team to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence. As a Staff Engineer, you will lead the design of the Managed Data Transfer (MDT) service, a critical component of Crusoe's AI infrastructure. You will own the end-to-end design of MDT, from the job API and scheduler to storage integration and network paths. Your decisions will shape the system's architecture, and you will mentor engineers who build it.

What You Will Do

Your key responsibilities will include: architecture ownership, prototype assessment and migration, throughput and correctness, cross-team contracts, extensibility and build-versus-buy, operational excellence, product partnership, and technical mentorship.

Why It Might Be a Fit

To succeed in this role, you will need to bring hands-on experience designing and operating data-intensive distributed systems at scale, including failure modes that only appear in production. You should have 8+ years of shipping production software, including leading a service from prototype to general availability. You will also need to demonstrate understanding of object storage semantics, file systems, and TCP throughput, as well as proficiency in Go or another modern compiled language.
