You operate beyond ticket resolution. You design reliability guardrails, influence architecture decisions, mentor engineers, and directly protect revenue by preventing large-scale incidents. You bring deep expertise in Linux systems, Kubernetes, networking, and AI/ML infrastructure, and apply that knowledge with strong customer focus. You are comfortable operating in ambiguity, leading incident response, and shaping how Crusoe scales high-performance AI infrastructure globally. What You'll Be Working On Technical Leadership & Escalations * Serve as highest-level escalation point for complex P1/P0 incidents. * Lead cross-functional root cause investigations involving compute, networking (IB/RDMA/RoCE), storage, and orchestration layers. * Partner with SRE, Software teams (Storage, Networking, Compute, K8) to design systemic fixes rather than recurring workarounds. Reliability Architecture * Design and improve node validation, burn-in processes, performance baselining, and release readiness. * Influence Kubernetes architecture, workload orchestration (Slurm, Terraform), and AI/ML cluster stability. * Reduce MTTR and incident recurrence through structural improvements. AI/ML Infrastructure Expertise * Troubleshoot NCCL, IB, GPU driver/firmware issues, distributed training failures. * Support complex AI workloads (training + inference) with performance tuning and observability improvements. Customer-Facing Authority * Act as technical advisor during high-risk customer incidents. * Deliver executive-ready RCAs with clarity and confidence. * Drive trust through transparency and technical depth. Mentorship & Standards * Mentor P3/P4 engineers. * Define SOPs and technical standards for support excellence. * Partner with Enablement to raise the technical bar across the organization. ## Related Videos - [Running Secure Life Science Research at Scale using Hybrid GPU HPC and Kubernetes 🧬](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100355-running-secure-life-science-research-at-scale-using-hybrid-gpu-hpc-and-kubernetes) - [Reducing Cognitive Overload Through Platform Engineering](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/679-reducing-cognitive-overload-through-platform-engineering) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [What Developers Get Wrong About Application Quality](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/233-what-developers-get-wrong-about-application-quality) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs)
