Senior Staff Software Engineer (Managed Platform Services)

Join Crusoe Cloud as a Senior Staff Software Engineer in our Managed Platform Services organization. In this floating technical leadership role, you will own performance engineering and operational excellence across all domains, ensuring the platform is architected for long-term scale. You will provide cross-domain technical leadership, influence cross-team decisions, collaborate on roadmaps and product development, and mentor senior engineers. This is a full-time position with comprehensive health benefits, paid time off, a 401(k) match, and resources for mental wellness.

• Assumer la responsabilité de l'ingénierie des performances et de l'excellence opérationnelle à l'échelle de la plateforme, en identifiant et en résolvant les goulets d'étranglement systémiques.
• Assurer que chaque domaine de la plateforme est architecturé pour une évolutivité à long terme, en intégrant la haute disponibilité, la récupération après sinistre et l'isolation des pannes dès le départ.
• Servir de voix technique senior dans les conversations avec les équipes d'infrastructure adjacentes, en veillant à ce que les décisions au niveau de la plateforme soient prises en tenant compte de l'ensemble du contexte.
• Mentorship at Scale: You don’t just mentor — you build systems that make other engineers better without your direct involvement. Force multiplication is your default mode
• Distributed Systems Depth: Deep, hands-on expertise designing and operating distributed systems at scale — sharding, replication, consensus, load balancing, and concurrency. You’ve resolved the hard problems, not just read about them
• Roadmap Collaboration: Experience working directly with product and engineering leadership to scope ambiguous problems, plan incremental delivery, and tie technical decisions to business outcomes
• Culture: Enthusiastic, optimistic, and genuine in celebrating others’ wins. You create an environment where people do their best work, maintain responsiveness that sets the team’s reputation, and lead by example
• Cross-Functional Impact: Proven ability to influence technical decisions made by other teams. You’ve resolved root causes of endemic problems that span org boundaries, and you have the credibility to do it again
• Communication: Exemplary. You provide the right level of context, stay concise, check for understanding, and keep leaders and stakeholders informed without being asked
• Operational Leadership: On-call experience on a customer-facing team is required. You don’t just respond to incidents — you eliminate the conditions that cause them. You’ve built runbooks, tuned alerts, and reduced noise systematically
• Performance Engineering: Proven track record of impact at the staff level and above. Proficiency in Go or a modern compiled language (Go strongly preferred). You benchmark, you profile, you fix — and you build the culture around doing it right
• Ownership: A strong sense of ownership and accountability — proactive, solutions-oriented, and willing to go wherever the team needs depth most. You’re not a domain owner; you’re a platform owner
