About the role

Director level role leading Infrastructure Security Engineering for Crusoe’s GPU-cloud platform. Owns long-term strategic vision, organizational architecture, and executive execution across Platform Security Services and Cloud Security Access and Posture Governance. Focuses on scale, governance, and zero-trust initiatives for hyper-scale GPU fleet and on-premise AI data centers.

Responsibilities

  • Design and scale dedicated engineering domains across both pillars. Hire, mentor, and empower engineering managers and senior leaders, establishing clear organizational accountability, career paths, and leadership governance as Crusoe scales.
  • Own multi-year strategic roadmaps, high-level domain metrics, and organizational risk reduction goals. Translate complex technical infrastructure risks into strategic business priorities and resource investments for executive stakeholders.
  • Set long-term architectural vision, applying first-principles strategy to guide engineering leadership, challenge legacy norms, and ensure all security initiatives align with Crusoe’s overarching mission.
  • Define the multi-year identity and access roadmap, ensuring scalable, secure-by-default primitives across the hyper-scale GPU fleet.
  • Drive strategic planning and organizational alignment for fleet-wide runtime visibility, empowering engineering teams to deploy security sensors and kernel-level protections at scale.
  • Establish organizational standards, risk policies, and oversight frameworks for hardware roots of trust, secure boot, firmware update validation, and software supply chain verification across custom GPU nodes and networks.
  • Formally establish the long-term vision, leadership structure, and operational roadmap for infrastructure security.
  • Establish security architecture frameworks and governance for Crusoe’s control plane across public cloud environments and multi-gigawatt on-premise AI data center infrastructure.
  • Champion zero-trust and IAM strategies to eliminate standing admin privileges and long-lived secrets, enabling just-in-time access engines and least-privilege models.
  • Oversee identification and mitigation of architectural risks, driving cross-functional alignment on tenant control plane isolation and IaC-driven blast-radius boundaries.

Qualifications

  • 10+ years of progressive security engineering experience, including 5+ years leading second-line management structures or multi-team security organizations at hyper-scale cloud providers or infrastructure-intensive platforms.
  • Proven success in organizational architecture, hiring, developing, and mentoring engineering managers, and building scalable team structures.
  • Demonstrated track record of evaluating complex technical challenges from foundational principles, guiding engineering leaders to solve systemic architectural bottlenecks.
  • Excellence in partnering with cross-functional executive leaders, setting multi-year talent and resource allocation strategies, and translating risk into business context.
  • Broad architectural depth across Linux, hypervisors, container orchestration, IAM frameworks, PKI, workload identity, and hardware or network primitives.
