Automated Testing Engineer, Compute

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.

As an Automated Testing Engineer, you will be responsible for the end-to-end validation of large-scale, multi-node GPU clusters. You will help own the automated integration testing framework to validate high-performance GPU training, ensuring that distributed workloads scale efficiently across multiple virtualized nodes. Your role is critical in ensuring the stability of the low-level infrastructure and validating the interconnect fabric that powers the world’s most demanding AI and HPC applications.

• CI/CD Automation and Tooling: Build CI/CD platforms that enable developers to quickly test, iterate, and deploy critical, low-level systems and applications.
• Multi-Node Scaling Validation: Design and execute large-scale validation tests across multi-node virtualized clusters to ensure linear scaling and stability of GPU workloads.
• Cluster Orchestration: Develop and maintain automation frameworks in Python or Go to dynamically provision, configure, and stress-test multi-node virtualized environments.
• Interconnect & Fabric Testing: Validate high-speed interconnects—including NVLink, Infinity Fabric, InfiniBand, and RoCE—within virtualized environments to ensure low-latency, high-bandwidth communication.
• Collective Communication Benchmarking: Architect and run comprehensive test suites using nccl-tests and rccl-tests (e.g., AllReduce, AllGather) to verify performance across node boundaries.
• Performance Bottleneck Analysis: Perform deep-dive analysis of regressions in CPU performance and multi-node communication, identifying root causes across the guest OS, hypervisor, and physical fabric.
• Create automated test suites leveraging tools like fio, stress-ng, and iperf to ensure performance and multi-tenant isolation of CPU and GPU hosts.

• Education & Experience: 5+ YOE demonstrated ability to competently and independently perform responsibilities plus Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Experience building and deploying automated integration testing for an AI Cloud Environment, ranging from low-level Linux Systems up to Distributed Control Planes.
• Working knowledge of the modern infrastructure stack, including Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, and Postgres.
• CI/CD & Gitlab: Intimate knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and Gitlab Tooling to enable stable infrastructure releases across multiple datacenters.
• Automation & Scripting: Advanced proficiency in Python and/or Bash for automating complex cluster-wide test scenarios.
• Distributed GPU Ecosystems: Familiarity with NVIDIA (CUDA/NCCL) and/or AMD (ROCm/RCCL) stacks in a multi-node context.
• Networking Knowledge: Strong understanding of RDMA, RoCE, and InfiniBand protocols and their implementation in virtualized systems.
• System Internals: Knowledge of Linux kernel internals, specifically PCIe topology, VFIO, and memory management (HugePages, IOMMU).

• Experience with MNNVL (Multi-Node NVLink) or specialized AI fabric architectures.
• Familiarity with hardware-level debugging tools and performance profilers (e.g., NVIDIA Nsight, AMD Omniperf).
• Knowledge of containerized orchestration for GPUs (e.g., Kubernetes with specialized device plugins).
