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.
Requirements
- 5+ years of professional experience in SRE, systems, or storage engineering.
- Hands-on experience with distributed storage systems (e.g., Ceph, GlusterFS, OpenEBS) and deep understanding of object, block, and file storage paradigms.
- Proficiency in a programming language such as Python, Go, Java, or C.
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code and deployment tooling such as Terraform, Ansible, or Puppet.
- Deep knowledge of Linux internals with a focus on I/O subsystems, memory management, and storage scheduling.
- Familiarity with storage protocols like NFS, SMB, iSCSI, or NVMe-oF.
- Strong experience working with containerized workloads and orchestration platforms (e.g., Kubernetes, Docker).
