The posting, as Crusoe wrote it

Crusoe is on a mission to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence.

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 This Role

The CCX organization is at the forefront of delivering a best-in-class user experience for our AI-focused cloud platform, and Core Backend is the engine underneath it. Our mission is to provide an intuitive, seamless user flow while ensuring the backend reliability and scalability that set us apart from the competition.

The Core Backend team owns the foundational services behind every interaction a customer has with Crusoe Cloud. Concretely, the team builds and operates:

• API Gateway: the front door to Crusoe Cloud. Every request to create, read, or manage a cloud resource flows through the gateway this team owns. That means request routing, authentication and authorization enforcement, rate limiting and throttling, API versioning, and the tracing that makes a single call debuggable end to end.
• Resource Management Layer: the abstraction between customer intent and physical infrastructure. Resource models and lifecycle state machines, reconciliation loops that drive declared state toward reality, capacity and placement coordination, and one consistent API surface behind every client.
• Quota Management: the system of record for what every organization and project is entitled to consume. Our team built and owns the quota model for all Crusoe products and its enforcement path, along with the request and approval workflows that gate GPU, compute, storage, and networking capacity - a low-latency, strongly consistent, correctness-critical service sitting directly in the path of every resource creation.
• Notifications: the platform-wide notification and eventing system that tells customers what is happening to their infrastructure - q
