CrusoeSan Francisco, CALeads architectural vision and strategy for AI-scale cloud storage systems, bridging NVMe hardware to distributed object stores. Requires 12+ years in distributed systems, system programming in C/C++/Rust/Go, and deep storage protocol expertise.
Architectural Vision & Strategy: Define and drive the long-term technical strategy for Crusoe’s storage engine. Identify industry trends (e.g., CXL, NVMe-oF) and integrate them into a cohesive roadmap.
System Programming Expertise: Leverage proven experience in system programming with languages such as C, C++, Go, and/or Rust to build the foundations of our V2 storage re-architecture.
Storage Protocols: Architect and implement solutions utilizing industry-standard storage protocols such as NFS, SMB, iSCSI, and NVMe/TCP.
Open Source Stewardship: Drive and maintain a track record of contributions to the open-source community (e.g., Ceph, GlusterFS, Lustre, Spectrum Scale, OpenEBS).
Technical Authority: Serve as the final arbiter for critical architecture decisions across the Foundations organization. Lead complex design reviews that intersect storage, networking, and virtualization.
Deep Performance Engineering: Lead "tiger teams" to solve the most ambiguous and difficult bottlenecks in the stack—from kernel-level IO context switching to global tail-latency in distributed clusters.
Strategic Collaboration: Work closely with Executive Leadership and Product to align technical capabilities with business milestones.
Cloud Storage Expertise: 12+ years of experience building and operating large-scale, complex distributed cloud computing infrastructure products.
Troubleshooting & Tuning: Strong troubleshooting and performance tuning skills; ability to profile and optimize the entire IO path.
High-Drive Mindset: Self-motivation to thrive in a fast-paced environment with a high degree of ownership and minimal supervision.
Masters of Consistency & Durability: Deep theoretical and practical knowledge of distributed state and data protection at petabyte scale.
Software Engineering Fundamentals: Mastery of professional software engineering practices for the full SDLC, including coding standards, build processes, and testing.
Communication & Collaboration: Ability to champion and lead initiatives across the engineering organization, such as tech talks and technical reading groups.
Education: Advanced degree (Master's or PhD) in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
Compensation Range: Up to $240,000 - $310,000 + Bonus. Restricted Stock Units are included in all offers. Compensation to be determined by the applicant's knowledge, education, and abilities, as well as internal equity and alignment with market data.
