Senior Staff Software Engineer, Managed Platform Services

Role description

Role Overview

We are seeking a Sr Staff Software Engineer to anchor distributed systems depth across Crusoe Cloud’s Managed Platform Services organization. This is a floating technical leadership role — not tied to a single domain or product — operating at the highest level of individual contribution on the team.

What You Will Do

Performance Engineering — Platform-Wide: Own performance at the platform level. Establish consistent benchmarks across all domains, identify systemic bottlenecks before they become incidents, and drive solutions that scale.

Why It Might Be a Fit

Requirements

• Distributed Systems Depth: Deep, hands-on expertise designing and operating distributed systems at scale — sharding, replication, consensus, load balancing, and concurrency.
• Performance Engineering: Proven track record of impact at the staff level and above.
• Operational Leadership: On-call experience on a customer-facing team is required.
• Cross-Functional Impact: Proven ability to influence technical decisions made by other teams.
• Roadmap Collaboration: Experience working directly with product and engineering leadership to scope ambiguous problems, plan incremental delivery, and tie technical decisions to business outcomes.
• Mentorship at Scale: You don’t just mentor — you build systems that make other engineers better without your direct involvement.
• Ownership: A strong sense of ownership and accountability — proactive, solutions-oriented, and willing to go wherever the team needs depth most.
• Culture: Enthusiastic, optimistic, and genuine in celebrating others’ wins.
• Communication: Exemplary.
