INTRODUCTION
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
Crusoe Cloud operates GPU infrastructure across six production sites globally, with a fleet that spans SuperMicro, HPE, and next-generation ODM platforms as we scale. We're looking for a Staff Data Center Operations Engineer to serve as the senior technical operations resource for the SiteOps org — based at our Denver headquarters, with cross-site scope and travel authority across our full portfolio.
This role is the bridge between Crusoe's distributed site teams and our OEM and ODM hardware partners. You'll own platform-level escalations that exceed site-level capability, drive hardware decisions at the org level, and serve as SiteOps' technical presence at headquarters — visible to engineering, procurement, and leadership in a way that a field-based role cannot be.
You'll be hands-on when the situation calls for it, traveling to sites for complex escalations, new platform bring-ups, and deployment support. But your primary leverage is organizational: building the technical standards, OEM relationships, and institutional knowledge that keeps Crusoe's GPU fleet reliable across every site.
Cross-Site Platform Operations & Escalation
- Own Tier 2/3 hardware escalations across all Crusoe sites for issues that exceed local site capability, engaging directly with OEM and ODM engineering teams to drive resolution
- Travel to sites as needed for complex platform issues, new hardware bring-ups, and deployment support
- Identify recurring failure patterns across sites and translate them into platform feedback, sparing strategy inputs, or OEM improvement requests
- Root-cause complex hardware issues — PCIe, BMC, thermal, fabric — and produce resolution documentation reusable across the SiteOps org
- Hand off platform-level findings to the appropriate internal engineering teams with clear, well-documented escalation packages
OEM & ODM Technical Partnership
- Develop and maintain deep technical relationships with Crusoe's primary hardware partners — currently SuperMicro and HPE, with upcoming ODM’s as growing platforms — at the engineering and field escalation level
- Serve as Crusoe's technical voice in OEM/ODM partner conversations, surfacing field observations, influencing hardware roadmaps, and driving platform improvements that benefit the full fleet
- Build familiarity with new ODM platform architecture, tooling, and escalation processes as Crusoe expands its ODM footprint
- Support vendor evaluations and new platform qualifications in partnership with SiteOps and engineering leadership
Platform Standards & Org Development
- Own OEM platform technical knowledge at the SiteOps org level — escalation playbooks, failure pattern analysis, and OEM relationship inputs across all sites
- Own the development and maintenance of platform-specific SOPs, runbooks, and field troubleshooting procedures for the SiteOps org, ensuring site teams have current, actionable documentation across all active hardware platforms
- Design and deliver technical training for SiteOps technicians covering hardware architecture, platform-specific troubleshooting, and field procedures — both for new hire onboarding and ongoing skill development as the fleet and team evolve
- Contribute to the technician certification program and technical leveling standards across the org
- Support new site bring-up efforts providing platform readiness and deployment execution expertise
HQ Presence & Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Serve as SiteOps' senior technical representative at Crusoe HQ, participating in platform, engineering, and procurement discussions that affect site operations
- Partner with engineering and procurement teams on sparing strategy, RMA lifecycle management, and OEM/ODM support contract structures
- Provide operational input into next-generation GPU platform evaluations (GB300, VR200, and beyond)
- Produce escalation reporting, platform health analysis, and operational insights for SiteOps leadership
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Required
- 7+ years in data center operations, field engineering, or OEM/ODM technical support with hands-on GPU infrastructure experience
- Direct hands-on experience deploying and supporting GPU platforms at scale across one or more major OEMs or ODMs; familiarity with SuperMicro and HPE platforms required
- Deep familiarity with server platform architecture and OEM escalation and RMA processes
- Experience leading or contributing to large-scale GPU cluster bring-ups including rack staging and production handoff
- Demonstrated ability to build technical relationships with OEM and ODM engineering teams and drive platform-level issue resolution
- Experience developing SOPs, runbooks, or field troubleshooting procedures and delivering technical training to data center technician teams
- Strong written communication — comfortable producing escalation documentation, platform runbooks, and leadership reporting
- Willingness to travel domestically and internationally to Crusoe sites as needed (target: up to 30%)
Preferred
- Direct experience with SuperMicro GPU platforms (B200, GB200, or newer); SuperMicro Certified Engineer credentials a plus
- Familiarity with ASUS or Quanta server platforms and ODM engagement models
- Experience with liquid-cooled GPU platforms and CDU integration
- Familiarity with AMD Instinct GPU platforms (MI300X/MI350X/MI355X)
- Prior experience at an AI cloud provider, hyperscaler, or GPU-first infrastructure operator
- Experience contributing to technician certification programs or IC leveling standards within a DC ops organization

Which companies sponsor visas for data engineers in Colorado?
Several Colorado employers have sponsored data engineers through H-1B visa and other work visa programs, including Palantir Technologies (headquartered in Denver), Ibotta, Ping Identity, Lockheed Martin, and DaVita. Large national employers with Colorado engineering offices, such as Amazon Web Services and Deloitte, also regularly file sponsorship petitions for data engineering roles in the state.
Which visa types are most common for data engineer roles in Colorado?
The H-1B is the most common visa category for data engineers in Colorado, as the role typically qualifies as a specialty occupation requiring at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, or a related field. Employers also sponsor L-1B transfers for engineers moving from overseas offices, and some roles qualify for O-1A consideration for candidates with demonstrated technical distinction.
Which cities in Colorado have the most data engineer sponsorship jobs?
Denver is by far the primary concentration point for data engineer sponsorship jobs in Colorado, hosting the headquarters or major offices of Palantir, Ibotta, and numerous fintech and healthcare data companies. Boulder is the second-largest hub, anchored by the University of Colorado ecosystem and companies like Zayo Group. Colorado Springs has a smaller but active presence, driven largely by defense and aerospace contractors.
How to find data engineer visa sponsorship jobs in Colorado?
Migrate Mate filters job listings specifically by visa sponsorship, so you can search data engineer roles in Colorado without sifting through postings that don't offer sponsorship. The platform surfaces positions from employers actively willing to file petitions, which is particularly useful in Colorado where sponsorship availability varies widely between Denver's tech firms, Boulder's startups, and the defense sector in Colorado Springs.
Are there any Colorado-specific considerations for data engineers seeking visa sponsorship?
Colorado's Equal Pay for Equal Work Act requires employers to disclose pay ranges in job postings, which gives international candidates useful transparency when evaluating whether an offer meets H-1B prevailing wage requirements for the Denver-Aurora or Boulder metropolitan areas. The state's strong university pipeline from CU Boulder and Colorado State also means employers are accustomed to sponsoring candidates coming through academic and OPT pathways.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored data engineer jobs in Colorado?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
