Staff Software Engineer

Role description

Role Overview

We're looking for a Staff Software Engineer to help make Crusoe Cloud's container registry fast and reliable as the platform grows. The registry sits on the critical path of every deployment and job launch on our platform, and its performance directly affects how quickly customer workloads come online. You'll own the evolution of the registry, drive its scaling roadmap, and be accountable for how it performs, degrades, and recovers in production.

What You Will Do

Own the technical direction: Set the architecture and scaling roadmap for Crusoe Cloud's container registry. Establish the patterns and standards the team builds against, and stay accountable for scalability, reliability, and maintainability over the long haul. Ship end-to-end: Drive high impact changes from design through production, and stay accountable for their scalability, reliability and maintainability.

Why It Might Be a Fit

You have proven success designing, scaling, and hardening distributed systems, all while keeping them reliable under high-load production environments. You thrive on transforming ambiguous performance problems into measured action and durable fixes. You work ahead of demand, identifying constraints before they reach customers.
