Staff Software Engineer, Data Platform

Posted: 2026-10-28

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. The demand for AI compute is boundless, and power is a bottleneck. We're solving that — with an energy-first approach that makes AI infrastructure better for the world and faster for the people innovating with AI.

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.

Join Crusoe Energy as a Staff Data Engineer, an early and pivotal hire on our growing central Data Science and Engineering team. This is a full-time, strictly on-site role based out of our Sunnyvale, CA or San Francisco office; remote work arrangements are not eligible for this position. This full-time position offers you the unique opportunity to architect and build the foundational data platform infrastructure that powers Crusoe's AI and cloud operations. You'll go beyond building pipelines—you'll design and implement the systems that make those pipelines possible, playing a key role in Crusoe's mission to meet the ever-increasing demand for AI infrastructure and innovate sustainably.
