Senior Production Engineer (Storage)

• At Crusoe Energy Systems, our Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team plays a mission-critical role in maintaining the performance and reliability of our AI-optimized cloud infrastructure
• The Storage-focused SRE role is responsible for ensuring the availability, performance, and scalability of Crusoe’s cloud storage products and services, which power compute-intensive, latency-sensitive workloads for AI and HPC use cases
• This role directly supports our vertically integrated, sustainable cloud platform by building and optimizing distributed, fault-tolerant storage systems at scale
• In this role, you will build automation and self-healing tools to monitor and maintain Crusoe’s distributed cloud storage infrastructure, which includes block, file, and object storage systems
• You will drive reliability initiatives focused on data replication, encryption, backup and restore strategies, and robust failover mechanisms
• Collaborating closely with storage engineers, you will help implement and maintain high-performance NVMe- and SSD-backed volumes that support large-scale AI compute clusters
• Your responsibilities will also include supporting user-facing storage services with a focus on availability, performance tuning, and adherence to error budgets
• You’ll investigate and resolve storage-related incidents using deep telemetry, logs, and performance profiling, while also partnering with hardware and kernel teams to diagnose low-level I/O issues and optimize I/O paths, cache policies, and file systems
• Additionally, you will contribute to the architecture of fault-tolerant, scalable storage backends tailored for AI-first cloud environments
