Full Job Description
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.

We're looking for problem-solving, opportunity-finding teammates with a sense of urgency, who believe in the scale of our ambition and thrive on a path not fully paved — people who want to grow their careers alongside a team of experts across energy, manufacturing, data center construction, and cloud services. If you want to do the most meaningful work of your career, help our customers and partners advance their AI strategies, and be part of a high-performing team that believes in each other, come build with us at Crusoe. About this Role Crusoe is seeking a Senior Staff Network Automation Engineer to own how our network monitors, configures, and heals itself without human intervention. You will design and ship the automation frameworks, self-healing workflows, and observability platforms that allow our global network fleet to scale sublinearly with headcount. This is a senior technical leadership role at the intersection of Network Engineering, Software Engineering, and Infrastructure Reliability. You will partner with Network Architecture to translate intent-based designs into production automation, mentor a team of Staff and Senior engineers, and represent the automation org in cross-functional planning with Deployment, Operations, and Site Reliability. You're not writing scripts to replace manual tasks. You're building the contr
