Denver's Latest Business Expansions: Vizio, Crusoe, Datadog

DENVER, CO — Three companies have announced expansions in Denver over the past several weeks, and they are set to hire more than 700 new employees in the city.

All three are technology innovation companies, and will be hiring a variety of positions in their industry.

Here's a look at their profiles and the jobs that are being offered.

VIZIO Tech

The America-based television innovator has selected Denver for its latest tech innovation office, which is set to fire more than 100 new employees. The company, which is headquartered in California, developed SmartCast, which connects consumer devices with software. The business also has offices in Dakota Dunes, Dallas, Seattle, San Francisco and New York City.

“This move positions VIZIO for growth in a market with a great pool of talent and VIZIO’s adventurous spirit with a balanced work life culture,” said David Rudnick, senior vice president of engineering at VIZIO and lead on the Denver office opening.

“Denver provides a perfect market to attract innovators, driven to provide the best experience for consumers with technologies that are built for the future of TV and the connected home.

Crusoe Energy

The Colorado-based energy and technology innovator has announced plans to grow its Denver headquarters, which will create 286 new jobs in our state, the company said. Crusoe Energy was founded in 2018 by two Kent Denver graduates, who created a cost-effective way to capture flaring and environmentally harmful oil and gas extraction emissions, and convert them into electricity for modular and mobile data centers that are deployed directly to well sites. Colorado competed with Nebraska, Montana, and North Dakota for Crusoe’s headquarters.

“Colorado is an excellent place to build a company, particularly one that draws on talent pools from the energy and technology industries,” said Cully Cavness, president and co-founder of Crusoe Energy.

“Colorado’s talented workforce and continued support of environmentally-oriented energy innovators were important factors in our decision to double down in Denver.”
