## Job description

Crusoe is on a mission to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence. As the only vertically integrated AI infrastructure company built from the ground up, we own and operate each layer of the stack — from electrons to tokens — to power the world's most ambitious AI workloads. When you join Crusoe, you join a team that is building the future, faster.

We're in the midst of the greatest industrial revolution of our time. The demand for AI compute is boundless, and power is a bottleneck. We're solving that — with an energy-first approach that makes AI infrastructure better for the world and faster for the people innovating with AI.

We're looking for problem-solving, opportunity-finding teammates with a sense of urgency, who believe in the scale of our ambition and thrive on a path not fully paved — people who want to grow their careers alongside a team of experts across energy, manufacturing, data center construction, and cloud services.

If you want to do the most meaningful work of your career, help our customers and partners advance their AI strategies, and be part of a high-performing team that believes in each other, come build with us at Crusoe.

About the Role: We are seeking a Senior Staff Software Engineer for our Billing team to design, build, and scale Crusoe Cloud’s billing platform. This role sits within the Cloud Customer Experience (CCX) organization and is critical to enabling accurate, transparent, and reliable billing for our customers.

You will own core billing systems end-to-end, from metering and pricing to invoicing and payments, ensuring they are highly reliable, scalable, and easy to understand. This role requires deep collaboration with Product, Finance, Customer Success, and other engineering teams to deliver a seamless and trustworthy billing experience.

What You'll Be Working On:

- Own Critical Systems: Lead the design and operation of highly reliable billing services that directly safeguard revenue, eliminate data leakage, and maintain customer trust.
- Drive Architectural Vision & Strategy: Own the multi-year technical roadmap for Crusoe Cloud’s billing platform, designing high-throughput metering, pricing, and invoicing architectures that scale with growing AI compute workloads.
- Drive Accuracy & Transparency at Scale: Architect real-time and batch usage processing pipelines, immutable ledger models, and automated reconciliation engines to ensure absolute financial correctness and auditability.
- Partner Cross-Functionally: Work closely with Finance, Product, Customer Success, and Support teams to align and translate complex enterprise pricing, commitment models, and business strategies into resilient platform capabilities.
- Enable New Business Models: Architect flexible, extensible billing capabilities and platform primitives to support rapidly evolving cloud offerings, dynamic pricing, and enterprise commitments.
- Mitigate Systemic Risk & Improve Reliability: Establish robust safeguards, transaction standards, and automated verification workflows to proactively detect, isolate, and prevent billing discrepancies.
- Drive Observability & Correctness: Elevate system observability, end-to-end reconciliation processes, and fault-tolerant error handling to guarantee billing state consistency across distributed systems.
- Mentor and Lead: Set architectural practices, drive architecture reviews, and mentor Senior and Staff engineers across the organization to build a high-performing engineering culture around financial data.

What You'll Bring to the Team:

- Billing Systems Experience: Extensive track record building and operating mission-critical billing, payments, high-throughput metering, or financial ledger systems (or similarly complex, high-integrity distributed data platforms).
- Strong Ownership Mindset: Proven ability to own multi-year technical vision and complex systems end-to-end, with an uncompromised focus on correctness, reliability , and long-term maintainability.
- Professional Experience: 9+ years of software engineering experience designing distributed backend systems using languages such as Go, Java, Rust, or C++.
