Crusoe is a vertically integrated AI infrastructure company building sustainable cloud platforms powered by an energy-first approach. The Production Engineering team maintains performance and reliability of AI-optimized cloud infrastructure at scale.
In this Senior PE role focused on software-defined networking (SDN), you will own the availability, performance, and scalability of Crusoe's cloud networking services that power compute-intensive, latency-sensitive AI and HPC workloads. You'll build automation and self-healing tools to monitor and maintain SDN infrastructure spanning edge, backbone, and data center connectivity.
Key responsibilities include:
- Designing and implementing automation for network provisioning, configuration, and remediation across distributed systems
- Driving reliability initiatives around routing convergence, traffic engineering, policy enforcement, and fault isolation
- Supporting high-performance virtualized networking services (overlays, service meshes, programmable data planes) for large-scale AI compute clusters
- Investigating and resolving networking incidents using deep telemetry, flow logs, and packet-level analysis
- Optimizing network stacks, drivers, and control planes in partnership with hardware and kernel teams
- Contributing to fault-tolerant, scalable SDN backend architecture for AI-first environments
- Maintaining user-facing networking services with focus on availability, latency reduction, and error budget adherence
You bring 5+ years of professional PE, systems, or networking engineering experience with demonstrated expertise in SDN platforms (Open vSwitch, ONOS, Tungsten Fabric, Calico, Cilium, EVPN/VXLAN). You have hands-on proficiency in Python, Go, or C; deep Linux networking knowledge; strong containerization and Kubernetes CNI experience; and familiarity with managed networking services at scale (AWS VPC, GCP VPC, Azure Virtual Network). You excel at incident response, troubleshooting, and cross-functional collaboration.
