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. What You'll Be Working On: 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. ## Related Videos - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Automate everything via NodeJS and Puppeteer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/322-automate-everything-via-nodejs-and-puppeteer) - [How building an industry DBMS differs from building a research one](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/768-how-building-an-industry-dbms-differs-from-building-a-research-one) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) - [It's all about the Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/425-it-s-all-about-the-data) - [The Memory Leak That Ate Our Cluster: A Postmortem](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2057-the-memory-leak-that-ate-our-cluster-a-postmortem) ## Related Articles - [What does the history of data storage tell us about the future?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/495-what-does-the-history-of-data-storage-tell-us-about-the-future) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers) - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [Résumé-Driven Development: How IT trends affect the job market for software developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/59-resume-driven-development-how-it-trends-affect-the-job-market-for-software-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated)
