About the Role

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 member of the DevX team, you will unlock the potential of our coding ecosystem, tackling everything from deep-kernel optimizations to establishing the first principles of unit testing and building AI agent platforms.

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.
