Be a part of the AI revolution with sustainable technology at Crusoe. Here, you'll drive meaningful innovation, make a tangible impact, and join a team that’s setting the pace for responsible, transformative cloud infrastructure.
About This Role:
We’re looking for an experienced Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to design, build, and operate the core cloud foundation that powers our AI-first compute environment. You’ll own the reliability, scalability, and automation of our Google Cloud Platform footprint and build the guardrails, tooling, and infrastructure that enable engineering teams to move quickly while maintaining strong security and operational excellence.
What You’ll Be Working On:
Design, build, and manage core cloud infrastructure across compute, networking, storage, and IAM.
Architect and operate GCE, GKE, and serverless workloads (Cloud Run/Functions) for scale and reliability.
Own VPC design, routing, load balancers, interconnects, peering, and network security boundaries.
Develop and maintain Terraform modules to define automated, auditable, and secure cloud environments.
Implement policies and guardrails across IAM, resource hierarchy, service accounts, and VPC-SC.
Build automation for provisioning, lifecycle management, and blue/green or canary deploy patterns.
Partner closely with security and platform teams on monitoring, logging, compliance, and operational readiness.
Optimize cloud costs, quotas, and capacity planning across multiple projects and regions.
Troubleshoot complex production issues across compute, storage, and networking layers.
What You’ll Bring to the Team:
5–8+ years operating large-scale production workloads on Google Cloud Platform.
Deep knowledge of GCE, GKE, VPC networking, load balancers, firewall rules, interconnect, and GCS.
Strong Terraform experience and a track record of building automated multi-environment infrastructure.
Hands-on experience with Kubernetes internals, workload orchestration, scaling, and observability.
Ability to debug complex distributed systems across compute, storage, and network boundaries.
Strong cloud security fundamentals, including least privilege, secrets management, and policy enforcement.
Proficiency with Python, Go, or Shell for automation and tooling.
Experience influencing design decisions and partnering with cross-functional teams.
Bonus Points:
Experience supporting high-performance or AI/ML workloads in GCP.
Familiarity with Anthos, service mesh, or multi-cluster Kubernetes operations.
Background in hybrid or multi-cloud infrastructure.
