Staff Software Engineer, Identity & Access Management

Role description

Role Overview

Join Crusoe's Identity & Access Management (IAM) team to build the future of AI infrastructure. As a Staff Software Engineer, you will own the multi-quarter architecture for IAM, drive build-vs-buy decisions, and solve high-blast-radius problems. You will lead through influence, drive cross-team technical alignment, and champion security at scale.

What You Will Do

Own IAM architecture & direction, define platform-wide standards, drive build-vs-buy decisions, solve high-blast-radius problems, stay hands-on, lead through influence, champion security at scale, and multiply the team.

Why It Might Be a Fit

You will be a fit for this role if you have a sense of urgency, believe in the scale of Crusoe's ambition, and thrive on a path not fully paved. You should be a problem-solving, opportunity-finding teammate who wants to grow their career alongside a team of experts across energy, manufacturing, data center construction, and cloud services.
