Director, Infrastructure Security

The posting, as Crusoe wrote it

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

As a GPU-cloud provider, Crusoe’s infrastructure is our product. Infrastructure Security Engineering is a critical executive domain in our security organization. Unlike traditional enterprise cloud security functions that act as passive auditors asking other teams to fix bugs, this is a strategic platform engineering organization.

Reporting directly to the Senior Director of Security Engineering, you will own the long-term strategic vision, organizational architecture, and executive execution across two core pillars: Platform Security Services and Cloud Security Access and Posture Governance. Leveraging extensive executive leadership experience, you will establish multi-year roadmaps, empower engineering managers, and build out high-performing organizational structures required to scale with Crusoe’s growth.
