Crusoe is a vertically integrated AI infrastructure company building the energy-efficient compute layer for the world's most ambitious AI workloads. They own and operate the full stack from power generation through cloud services.
You will be the Principal Enterprise Technology Architect—the highest-ranking technical voice in Crusoe's Enterprise Technology organization. This is a newly created senior individual contributor role (P6) with no formal people-management responsibility, though you will guide contributors indirectly on complex initiatives.
Your mandate is to design the unified architecture connecting Crusoe's currently siloed business systems: Finance (Oracle Fusion, Coupa, Sage Intacct), Construction & Operations (Procore, Oracle Primavera), and People (Rippling, Ashby). You will define master data models, engineer a scalable event-driven integration layer, and build governance frameworks that transition the company from startup agility to enterprise maturity.
This is primarily a greenfield architecture role. You will spend most of your time designing systems, producing ERDs, context diagrams, and sequence flows before implementation begins. You will serve as the integration and architecture subject matter expert that senior administrators consult on complex cross-system initiatives and participate in Architecture Review Board discussions.
Key responsibilities include:
- Lead technical discovery for major system initiatives, producing high-fidelity design artifacts (ERDs, system context diagrams, data flow maps, sequence diagrams) that serve as implementation source of truth
- Assess platform limitations and define optimization, re-platforming, or custom integration strategies
- Serve as primary technical evaluator during software procurement, vetting vendors on API robustness, data model flexibility, and security compliance
- Identify and document integration debt across current architecture; develop prioritized remediation roadmap
- Partner with platform SMEs and administrators to define unified master data approach
- Co-develop reusable integration patterns, error-handling frameworks, and self-healing workflows with the IT Architect
- Drive integration architecture toward API-first, event-driven patterns (REST, webhooks, pub-sub) where they improve reliability and reduce latency
- Define secure authentication and communication standards (OAuth 2.0, REST/SOAP) across all integrations
- Partner with the AI & Automation Staff Engineer to identify high-value opportunities for embedding AI into enterprise systems—workflow automation, intelligent document processing, enterprise copilots, natural-language interfaces
- Contribute enterprise-architecture perspective to evaluation of agentic AI, RAG, LLM integration patterns, and orchestration frameworks (including MCP)
- Co-develop governance standards for AI-enabled workflows alongside the AI & Automation Staff Engineer
- Partner with InfoSec and Data teams to ensure AI-enabled workflows meet data privacy, security, and audit requirements
- Work alongside experienced senior system administrators across Oracle, Procore, Coupa, Rippling, and other platforms as the go-to architecture and integration advisor
You will partner with, rather than replace, existing domain owners: the IT Architect retains iPaaS design and governance ownership; the Identity Lead retains IAM/PAM and access governance ownership; the AI & Automation Staff Engineer retains AI governance and architecture ownership. Your mandate is enterprise-wide data-model and integration-pattern design, executed in partnership with those owners.
