About the Role

Crusoe is hiring an AI Engineer for our Developer Relations Engineering team: an engineer who builds agentic AI systems and enjoys showing other developers how they work. You will build reference agents, open-source integrations, and sample applications on Crusoe Cloud and Crusoe Managed Inference.

In this role, you will lead technical content creation, community engagement, and developer outreach across AI infrastructure and managed services workloads. You will produce documentation, tutorials, white papers, sample applications, and video guides.

You will partner with the Product, Engineering, Research, and GTM/Solutions Engineering teams and work across the open-source agent ecosystem.

You will spend most of your time building and then sharing what you build.

What You'll Be Working On

• Open Source & GitHub: Own Crusoe's developer-facing GitHub presence, including examples, cookbooks, and integrations. Contribute upstream to agent frameworks, inference engines, and developer tooling (for example LangGraph, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, Pydantic AI, the OpenAI Agents SDK, MCP, vLLM, and SGLang) so they work well with Crusoe.
• Technical Content & Video: Turn the systems you build into content developers rely on: deep-dive blog posts, notebooks, YouTube videos, livestreams, and short technical cli
