Systems Engineer II, Compute

About this role

Crusoe seeks a Systems Engineer II to design and develop compute applications for virtualized AI platforms, working across the Linux stack from kernel to hypervisor integration. You'll optimize hardware for massive-scale AI workloads while collaborating with kernel, hypervisor, and hardware teams.

What you'll do

• Design reliable Linux applications to manage virtualization across thousands of AI compute servers globally
• Integrate Crusoe applications with AI chip-vendor stacks and optimize virtualized hardware (GPUs, NICs, storage)
• Analyze and tune performance of the virtualization stack for AI/ML workloads through profiling and optimization
• Diagnose and resolve complex system issues across drivers, kernel, hypervisor, and guest OS layers
• Collaborate with kernel, hypervisor, hardware, and ML teams to ensure integrated product development
• Provide code reviews and technical mentorship to junior engineers on the compute team

What they're looking for

• Linux kernel and virtualization systems
• Low-level systems programming (C, C++, Rust)
• Hardware integration (GPUs, Infiniband, PCIe, storage)
• Distributed systems and scalable architecture design
• Higher-level languages (Golang, Java, Python)
• Performance profiling and system-level troubleshooting
• Communication protocols and databases (gRPC, REST, Postgres, Redis)
• Unit testing and clean code practices
