About This Role:

We are looking for a Principal Software engineer to help design and scale our carbon-reducing cloud computing platform. Crusoe Cloud is building intuitive, turnkey cloud solutions that simplify AI workload management.

  • Advocate for forward-thinking architecture and solutions that reduce duplication, increase efficiency, and establish scalable patterns across the engineering team.

  • Get your hands dirty! You'll be expected to contribute code, write technical architecture documents, and review merge requests.

  • Develop and refine technical assessments to aid in our hiring process and mentor other engineers, helping them grow in their careers.

What You’ll Bring to the Team:

  • The ability to act as a mentor for junior engineers, providing guidance on design proposals and conducting thorough code reviews to ensure quality.

  • A passion for leading by example and fostering an environment of innovation and high-quality software engineering practices.

  • Experience with a wide range of tools and technologies, and the ability to evaluate them for reliability, scalability, operational costs, and other key factors.

  • A collaborative mindset and the ability to work effectively across different teams to achieve shared goals and optimize the customer experience.

Benefits:

  • Industry competitive pay

  • Restricted Stock Units in a fast growing, well-funded technology company

  • Health insurance package options that include HDHP and PPO, vision, and dental for you and your dependents

  • Company paid commuter benefit; $300 per month

Compensation:

Compensation will be paid in the range of $256,000 - $320,000 + Bonus. Restricted Stock Units are included in all offers. Compensation to be determined by the applicant’s education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities, as well as internal equity and alignment with market data.
