About This Role

Crusoe’s mission is to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence. We’re seeking a Staff Infrastructure Security Engineer to secure the foundations of Crusoe Cloud, our purpose-built compute platform for AI and high-performance workloads. This role focuses on designing and embedding security controls directly into our global infrastructure, enabling customers to train advanced models within a trusted, secure-by-default environment.

You’ll operate at the intersection of infrastructure, security, and reliability; architecting identity, network, and cloud security systems that scale with a high-growth cloud provider.

What You’ll Be Working On

• Architecting security controls across compute, networking, and storage layers of a global cloud platform

• Championing Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) standards (e.g., Terraform) to enforce secure defaults, immutability, and drift detection

• Building automated security guardrails embedded directly into CI/CD and deployment pipelines

• Collaborating on a centralized Vault-as-a-Platform service to manage secrets, encryption keys, and internal PKI

• Designing and operating certificate lifecycles (X.509, SSH) to support secure machine-to-machine trust

• Driving adoption of short-lived, Just-In-Time (JIT) access models to reduce standing privileges and improve auditability

• Securing core network foundations, including global DNS architecture, service discovery, and network authentication systems

• Designing and maintaining authentication controls for network infrastructure to ensure secure, monitored access

• Partnering closely with infrastructure, platform, and SRE teams to identify and remediate security gaps in foundational systems
  

What You’ll Bring to the Team

• 8+ years of hands-on experience in infrastructure engineering, SRE, or security engineering

• Deep understanding of security principles across the stack, from Linux and container runtimes to cloud control planes

• Proven experience using Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform) to manage complex, multi-environment infrastructure at scale

• Strong knowledge of cryptography, secrets management, PKI, and modern authentication standards

• Experience securing public cloud (AWS, GCP) and/or bare-metal environments

• Strong networking fundamentals, including routing, segmentation, firewalls, and Zero Trust architectures

• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and container security, including secure secrets injection into microservices

• Fluency in at least one programming language (Go or Python preferred) for automation and tooling

Bonus Points

• Experience building or operating internal security platforms (e.g., Vault-as-a-Service)

• Background securing high-scale cloud or AI infrastructure

• Experience implementing Zero Trust identity architectures end-to-end

• Familiarity with bare-metal provisioning and data center security considerations
  

Compensation Range
