Crusoe's mission is to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence. We’re crafting the engine that powers a world where people can create ambitiously with AI — without sacrificing scale, speed, or sustainability.
Be a part of the AI revolution with sustainable technology at Crusoe. Here, you'll drive meaningful innovation, make a tangible impact, and join a team that’s setting the pace for responsible, transformative cloud infrastructure.We are seeking a highly skilled Staff Infrastructure Security Engineer to architect, deploy, and operationalize the foundational security services that will underpin our shift to a Zero Trust model.In this strategic role, you will define and establish the "roots of trust" for our organization, serving as a technical leader in Secrets Management and Identity architecture.
While your immediate focus is to serve as the Subject Matter Expert (SME) driving our enterprise HashiCorp Vault platform from Proof-of-Concept (PoC) to global production readiness, your long-term scope is far broader. You will be responsible for evolving our credentials management strategy, onboarding engineering teams to secure self-service workflows, and designing scalable trust patterns across our hybrid multi-cloud environment.
Key Responsibilities
1. Strategic Architecture & Governance
- Zero Trust Architecture: Architect a highly available, disaster-resilient, and scalable multi-cluster secrets management platform that serves as the foundation for the organization’s Zero Trust strategy.
- Technical Leadership: Drive consensus across Cloud Engineering, DevOps, and SRE teams to define standardized secret management workflows and integrate security patterns into the SDLC.
- Compliance & Governance: Ensure the platform design meets rigorous internal policies and external compliance frameworks (e.g., SOX, ISO 27001).
- Policy as Code: Design and implement advanced governance controls, including Sentinel Policy as Code, to automate security guardrails and access decisions.
2. Platform Engineering & Implementation
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Lead the engineering of the Vault infrastructure using Terraform, ensuring all deployments are reproducible, version-controlled, and automated.
- Identity Integration: Architect the integration between the secrets platform, Identity Providers (Okta), and workload identities (Kubernetes Service Accounts) to establish robust machine-to-machine authentication.
- Advanced Secrets Capabilities: Configure and tune essential secrets engines (KV, Transit, KMIP) and Enterprise features (Performance Replication, Seal automation) to support diverse engineering use cases.
3. Operational Excellence & Developer Enablement
- Vault as a Service (VaaS): Operationalize the platform by building self-service mechanisms, distinct "paved road" onboarding procedures, and documentation that allows engineering teams to easily consume security services.
- Observability: Implement comprehensive monitoring, alerting, and audit logging to ensure platform health, provide visibility into usage patterns, and satisfy audit requirements.
- Lifecycle Management: Own the full operational lifecycle of the production environment, including patching, version upgrades, backup/restore procedures, and incident response runbooks.
Required Qualifications
- 6+ years (or equivalent) hands-on experience in cloud security, DevOps, or infrastructure engineering.
- Deep expertise and proven track record deploying and managing HashiCorp Vault in an enterprise environment (experience with the Enterprise edition is highly preferred).
- Expert-level knowledge of Secrets Management, X.509 PKI (Public Key Infrastructure), Certificate Authority Operations, and Cryptography concepts.
- Strong experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and cloud native identity and access management (IAM).
- Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools, especially Terraform, for automating the deployment and configuration of Vault and its dependent infrastructure.
Technical Skills
- Fluent in at least one programming language (ideally Go or Python).
- Demonstrable experience with Kubernetes and container security principles, especially integrating secrets into microservices architectures.
- Strong understanding of network security concepts (IP addressing, IP routing, firewalls, segmentation, Zero Trust).
