Job Description

Crusoe is on a mission to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence. As the only vertically integrated AI infrastructure company built from the ground up, we own and operate each layer of the stack — from electrons to tokens — to power the world's most ambitious AI workloads. When you join Crusoe, you join a team that is building the future, faster.

We're in the midst of the greatest industrial revolution of our time. The demand for AI compute is boundless, and power is a bottleneck. We're solving that — with an energy-first approach that makes AI infrastructure better for the world and faster for the people innovating with AI.

We're looking for problem-solving, opportunity-finding teammates with a sense of urgency, who believe in the scale of our ambition and thrive on a path not fully paved — people who want to grow their careers alongside a team of experts across energy, manufacturing, data center construction, and cloud services.

If you want to do the most meaningful work of your career, help our customers and partners advance their AI strategies, and be part of a high-performing team that believes in each other, come build with us at Crusoe.

About the Role:

As a Forward-Deployed Engineer, you will embed with another Crusoe team, such as SRE, Finance, Sales, People Ops, or a product group. You will learn how they operate and build software that helps them take the next action, not just describe the problem. This is a forward-deployed engineering role serving internal teams. Your customer is a Crusoe team. Your product is the application, automation, or agent that makes their work faster, clearer, and more dependable. Success is measured by adoption and by the time and effort you return to the team. This is also a new function. You will be one of its first engineers and will help shape how it operates.

Several capabilities have matured recently. Modern BI tools now support write-back, so dashboards can update real records instead of only displaying them. Company data and operational context are reachable by AI agents through governed interfaces. Automation platforms and a shared library of reusable skills let you connect actions across many source systems, including CRM, support, infrastructure inventory, and the data warehouse.

Together, these capabilities allow an embedded engineer to deliver interactive tooling in days instead of quarters. We are looking for engineers who want to use that leverage to help internal teams move faster with confidence.

What You'll Be Working On:

• Embed with a stakeholder team. Participate in their rituals, observe manual workflows, and identify high-leverage work that software can remove.
• Build applications. Build interactive tools that take action: read data, apply decisions, and write results back to systems of record.
• Automate real workflows. Replace repetitive work with pipelines and agents that run independently and involve a person when judgment is required.
• Own the work end to end. Scope problems with stakeholders, then build, deploy, measure adoption, and iterate. You are accountable for outcomes, with support from partner teams.
• Contribute to the platform. Turn reusable parts of your work, such as skills, integrations, or UI patterns, into shared building blocks that accelerate future engagements.
• Keep it correct. Build on sources of truth, respect governance and access controls, and make tooling reliable enough for daily operational use.

What You'll Bring to the Team:

• 8+ years building and owning production software. You write clean code, ship it, and remain accountable for it in production.
• Staff-level scope and judgment. You can take an ambiguous, greenfield charter and turn it into a plan and shipped software with limited direction. You raise technical standards and help engineers around you grow.
• Full-stack engineering skill. You can build user-facing interfaces, backend services and APIs, and the supporting data layer.
• Strong SQL and data modeling. You can navigate a data warehouse, reason about pipelines, and validate numbers before relying on them.
• Product mindset and stakeholder fluency. You collaborate well with non-engineers, translate manual processes into clear tools, and push back when a request is not the right solution.
• Fast delivery with attention to correctness. You get a useful version in front of users quickly, then harden it thoughtfully. You maintain a clear standard for completion.
• Comfort with AI-assisted development. You use LLM agents and automation platforms effectively, and understand where guardrails are required.
• Strong ownership. You measure success by whether stakeholder work becomes easier, faster, and more reliable.

Bonus Points

• Experience as a forward-deployed, solutions, or embedded engineer.
• Prior BI or analytics engineering work with tools such as Sigma, Looker, dbt, or Tableau.
• Familiarity with automation platforms such as Workato or n8n.
• Experience building on MCP, agent frameworks, or LLM tool use.
• Comfort in an early-stage environment with a high degree of ambiguity.
