Job Description
Senior Staff Engineer, Cloud Site Operations
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.

Crusoe's mission is to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence. We’re crafting the engine that powers a world where people can create ambitiously with AI — without sacrificing scale, speed, or sustainability.
Be a part of the AI revolution with sustainable technology at Crusoe. Here, you'll drive meaningful innovation, make a tangible impact, and join a team that’s setting the pace for responsible, transformative cloud infrastructure.
About the Role: As the Senior Staff Engineer for Data Center Operations, you are the technical architect and strategic "right hand" to the Director of Data Center Operations. You will bridge the gap between high-level hardware engineering and ground-level execution, ensuring our AI fleet—from our current H200 and Blackwell (GB200) clusters to upcoming GB300 and Rubin architectures—is the most reliable and maintainable in the world.

- Operational Resilience: Architect the framework for our Business Continuity (BCP) and Disaster Recovery (DR) plans. Define the technical protocols for hardware recovery and site-level failovers to ensure minimal disruption to our AI Cloud customers.
- Technical Advisory & Documentation: Provide expert guidance and architectural "sign-off" to the internal Documentation Committee. Ensure all break-fix SOPs and technical playbooks are accurate, safe, and optimized for global scale.
- Advanced Escalation & Mentorship: Serve as the final technical authority for systemic or complex hardware failures. Mentor senior technicians and site leads, elevating the collective technical IQ of the global operations team.
What You'll Bring to the Team:
- Technical Mastery: 10+ years in Data Center Operations, Systems Engineering, or HPC hardware, with an expert-level understanding of x86/GPU server architecture and electrical distribution.
