How to Apply for Senior Cloud Support Engineer
at Crusoe
🏢 About Crusoe
Crusoe is uniquely transforming stranded energy (like flared natural gas) into eco-friendly power for data centers, significantly reducing environmental impact. Working here means contributing to innovative climate tech while solving complex technical challenges at the intersection of energy and cloud infrastructure.
About This Role
As a Senior Cloud Support Engineer at Crusoe, you'll provide hands-on technical support through Zendesk while participating in a 24/7 rotation for critical issues. This role directly impacts customer satisfaction (maintaining 95%+ CSAT) and system reliability by diagnosing VM/hardware failures, managing alerts, and collaborating with global SRE/Networking teams from triage through root cause analysis.
💡 A Day in the Life
Your day starts with checking Zendesk tickets and triaging alerts from the previous shift, then diagnosing a VM performance issue using CLI tools. You collaborate with the Storage team on a hardware failure RCA, document the solution in internal SOPs, and end by testing node delivery during a maintenance window before handing off to the next shift in the 24/7 rotation.
