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.\nWe'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.\nWe'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.\nIf 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.\nAbout This Role:\nWe are seeking a Software Engineer to join Crusoe’s Hardware Systems Engineering team and build the tools, automation, and data platforms that let our hardware engineers debug, validate, and support high-performance compute systems at scale. In this role, you will own the software that supports the full hardware lifecycle, from prototype bring-up through large-scale production, accelerating issue resolution and improving reliability across Crusoe Cloud’s GPU- and CPU-based infrastructure.\nYou will work closely with hardware engineers to understand their debugging and validation workflows, then turn them into automatable workflows. You will also work with cross-functional teams to integrate tools with the production environment. A particular focus will be provisioning, hardware health monitoring, test framework, and data collection. Your work will directly improve Crusoe’s ability to deploy and operate sustainable, AI-first compute systems with world-class performance and reliability.\nWhat You’ll Be Working On:\nDesign, build, and maintain software tools and frameworks that support the hardware development and sustaining lifecycle, including bring-up, validation, deployment, and ongoing production support.\n\nDevelop automated test, diagnostics, and health-monitoring frameworks that run across fleets of servers, enabling continuous reliability improvements.\n\nBuild tooling, monitoring and logging systems that help hardware engineers triage and root-cause issues across different hardware platforms.\n\nCreate automated validation and characterization workflows for GPU, CPU, and high-performance compute platforms, including result collection, analysis, and reporting.\n\nBuild and operate data pipelines, dashboards, and analytics that surface hardware failure trends, performance regressions, and reliability metrics.\n\nSupport E2E integration and solution testing by developing test harnesses and CI/CD workflows that ensure Crusoe Cloud products meet performance, reliability, and scalability expectations.\n\nEvaluate and introduce new tools, testing methods, and automation approaches that improve engineering efficiency and support Crusoe’s sustainability goals.\n\nProvide data-driven insights from tooling and telemetry to influence Crusoe’s hardware roadmap and reliability strategy.\n\nWhat You’ll Bring to the Team:\n5+ years of professional software engineering experience, ideally building internal tools, infrastructure software, provisioning, test automation, or systems software.\n\nStrong proficiency in Python and at least one systems language (Go, C/C++, or Rust), plus Shell scripting.\n\nExperience designing and implementing automation and test frameworks, including workflow engines, for hardware or large-scale infrastructure.\n\nExperience with BMC/Redfish/IPMI, firmware update automation, or out-of-band management.\n\nExperience with fleet management, provisioning, or large-scale automation tools (Kubernetes, Ansible, Terraform, etc.).\n\nExperience building data pipelines, logging, telemetry, or observability tooling to analyze system behavior at scale.\n\nExperience working across hardware, firmware, and software teams in multidisciplinary environments.\n\nStrong analytical and problem-solving skills with a data-driven approach.\n\nExcellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to gather requirements from engineers and external partners and translate them into usable tools.\n\nBachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience.\n\nBonus Points:\nExperience building tooling for GPU clusters, including GPU-to-GPU communication diagnostics (NCCL tests, NVLink monitoring, etc.).\n\nFamiliarity with PCIe, InfiniBand, and NVMe/storage concepts and tooling (e.g., lspci, ibstat, nvme-cli, perftest, fio), with the curiosity to go deeper.\n\nWorking knowledge of Linux systems, including kernel interfaces, drivers, device tooling, and low-level system diagnostics.\n\nFamiliarity with NVIDIA tooling such as DCGM, NVML, and fabric management software.\n\nExperience supporting both ARM and x86 server architectures.\n\nBackground in factory test, manufacturing test software, or hardware qualification workflows.\n\nCompensation Range:\nCompensation will be paid in the range of $170,000 - $205,000. Restricted Stock Units are included in all offers. Compensation to be determined by the applicants knowledge, education, and abilities, as well as internal equity and alignment with market data.\nCrusoe is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
