About the Role:

Crusoe Developer Experience is a new team charged with fueling the future of Crusoe’s developer muscle. We set the tone for how engineering is done, ensuring that as Crusoe grows, their developer systems and code delivery capacity grow as well. We have a very broad charter that spans the software life cycle from design through coding, testing, and deployment. Our mission is to empower Crusoe engineers to deliver positive change to customers quickly, safely and efficiently. As an early member of the Developer Experience team, you will play a key part in unlocking the potential of Crusoe’s coding ecosystem. At Crusoe, you will be challenged with deep problems such as kernel upgrades as well as broad problems such as establishing first principles around unit testing, code reviews and rollouts.

As a member of this team, you will take a key role in contributing to technical direction, communicating a strategic vision, and establishing a company culture of engineering excellence. You will work alongside stakeholders and customers to ensure that our work is aligned with long term company objectives - informing those objectives along the way. You’ll also lead efforts to define the future state of Crusoe’s evolving and rapidly growing software development efforts.

A Day In The Life:

• Partner with the broader engineering organization to build and define standard practices for how services are operated and observed throughout their lifecycle.

• Establish an opinionated, flexible and cost-effective toolchain for delivering customer value at scale.

• Fully integrate Crusoe’s developer systems to keep our developers in the flow state, ruthlessly eliminating toil that slows us down.

• Immerse yourself in the developer experience so that you can identify and eliminate pain points.

• Create libraries, tools, and pre-production environments for vetting service APIs and interactions between microservices.

• Unify both internal tooling and vendor services to automate, build efficiency, and optimize security.

• Innovate across the development lifecycle from source code, editors, build, CI, CD, platform runtime environments, telemetry, optimizations, monitoring and alerting.

• Establish a culture of continuous quality delivery that scales as Crusoe scales.

• Work diligently to build quality, efficient systems and processes to increase the impact of engineers around you.

You Will Thrive In This Role If You Have:

• You have expertise in understanding technical decisions, evaluating tradeoffs, and how these decisions impact individuals who will use what you build to optimize their work.

• Are knowledgeable on how to leverage Gitlab to work with multiple repositories or Github.

• Have professional experience working with Kubernetes clusters or Kubernetes in general.

• You have an understanding of testing infrastructure.

• Experience with DevOps, Site Reliability, Release Engineering, or similar.
