About This Role
At Crusoe Energy Systems, our SRE team plays a mission-critical role in maintaining the performance and reliability of our AI-optimized cloud infrastructure. The Storage-focused Site Reliability Engineer 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.
Key Responsibilities
Build automation and self-healing tools to monitor and maintain Crusoe’s distributed cloud storage infrastructure, including block, file, and object storage systems.
Drive reliability initiatives focused on data replication, encryption, backup and restore strategies, and robust failover mechanisms.
Collaborate closely with storage engineers to implement and maintain high-performance NVMe- and SSD-backed volumes that support large-scale AI compute clusters.
Support user-facing storage services with a focus on availability, performance tuning, and adherence to error budgets.
Investigate and resolve storage-related incidents using deep telemetry, logs, and performance profiling.
Partner with hardware and kernel teams to diagnose low-level I/O issues and optimize I/O paths, cache policies, and file systems.
Contribute to the architecture of fault-tolerant, scalable storage backends tailored for AI-first cloud environments.
Required Qualifications
8+ years of professional experience in Storage SRE, systems engineering, storage engineering, or similar roles.
Hands-on experience with distributed storage systems (e.g., Ceph, GlusterFS, OpenEBS) and deep understanding of object, block, and file storage paradigms.
Proficiency in a programming language such as Go, Python, Java, or C.
Experience with Infrastructure as Code and deployment tooling such as Terraform, Ansible, or Puppet.
Deep knowledge of Linux internals with a focus on I/O subsystems, memory management, and storage scheduling.
Familiarity with storage protocols like NFS, SMB, iSCSI, or NVMe-oF.
Strong experience working with containerized workloads and orchestration platforms (e.g., Kubernetes, Docker).
Excellent incident response, troubleshooting, and documentation practices.
Experience with building and operating managed services at scale such as object, file and block storage (AWS, GCP, Azure).
Excellent communication skills.
Must be able to pass a background check.
