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
