Principal Production Engineer

Join Crusoe Energy, a leading company in the energy sector focused on sustainability and innovation. As a Principal Production Engineer, you will be responsible for the reliability and scalability of our cloud infrastructure, driving systemic improvements, and acting as a trusted advisor to senior leadership. You will also mentor senior and staff engineers, elevate the team's technical depth, and set technical standards for our production engineering organization.

• Assurer la fiabilité et l'évolutivité de l'infrastructure cloud de Crusoe, en définissant les SLOs et en dirigeant la réponse aux incidents.
• Construire et améliorer la couche d'observabilité et d'outillage, afin que l'équipe puisse détecter, diagnostiquer et résoudre les problèmes plus rapidement.
• Conduire les améliorations de la fiabilité de la plateforme à travers l'ensemble de la pile cloud, en collaborant étroitement avec les équipes d'ingénierie logicielle, matérielle et réseau.

• Strong systems fundamentals: Linux, distributed systems, storage, compute scheduling — you understand the full stack from hardware up
• 15+ years of experience in infrastructure, networking, or production engineering — with meaningful time at companies operating at internet scale (cloud providers, CDNs, large-scale social/media platforms, or similar)
• The ability to write code — not necessarily full-time, but enough to automate what shouldn't be manual, instrument what isn't observable, and build tooling your team will actually use
• Strong incident command: you lead calmly under pressure, communicate clearly during outages, and run blameless retrospectives that actually improve systems
• Hands-on data center experience: you've done physical infra, understand power and thermal constraints, and can reason about reliability at the facility level, not just the server level
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, including the ability to synthesize ambiguous customer and system signals into clear problem statements and designs
• Deep networking expertise: BGP, OSPF, ECMP, load balancing, and low-latency network design in production — you can debug a routing issue and design a fabric, sometimes in the same incident
• Experience with HPC infrastructure: GPU cluster operations, job schedulers (Slurm, Kubernetes), high-bandwidth interconnects (InfiniBand, RoCE)
• Prior principal or staff IC role where you influenced org-level technical strategy, not just project-level execution
• Exposure to sustainability-focused or energy-constrained compute environments
