About This Role
Crusoe is building the world’s favorite AI-first cloud infrastructure. We are seeking a Staff Corporate Security Engineer to act as the principal architect for our corporate security posture.
In this role, you will move beyond tactical tool management to design high-assurance, preventative systems that safeguard our identity perimeter, global network, and SaaS ecosystem. As a senior technical leader, you will build a “Secure by Default” environment where security is seamlessly embedded into the employee experience.
What You’ll Be Working On
- Leading the design and implementation of Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) architectures, replacing legacy VPNs with identity-aware, perimeter-less access models
- Architecting preventative SaaS security across platforms such as Google Workspace, Slack, and Okta, including CASB controls to enforce data protection and monitor unauthorized applications or extensions

- Designing and tuning Data Loss Prevention (DLP) controls across endpoints and SaaS platforms to protect intellectual property
- Strengthening email security posture, including MFA enforcement and session controls to mitigate phishing and session hijacking risks
- Architecting AI-native security frameworks, including governance and secure gateways for agent-based systems (e.g., MCP), ensuring all AI-driven actions are auditable and aligned with zero-trust principles
- Scaling identity and access management systems, including SSO, SAML, OAuth, SCIM, and designing Just-In-Time (JIT) access workflows to eliminate standing privileges
- Defining and executing a “Crown Jewels” security methodology, identifying and remediating high-risk vulnerabilities (e.g., IDOR, role-bypass) across critical systems
What You’ll Bring to the Team
- 8+ years of experience designing and implementing Zero Trust, SASE, and modern identity-based security architectures
- Strong expertise in SaaS security, including CASB, DLP, and governance across platforms like Google Workspace, Okta, and Slack
- Experience implementing device trust, endpoint security, and hardware-backed identity solutions
- Strong understanding of identity and access management systems (SSO, SAML 2.0, OAuth, SCIM) and secure access patterns
- Knowledge of email security, phishing mitigation, and session security controls
- Experience identifying and mitigating application-layer vulnerabilities such as IDOR and privilege escalation risks
- Familiarity with emerging AI security challenges, including governance of agent-based systems and secure orchestration patterns
- Strong architectural mindset with the ability to design preventative, scalable security systems
- Excellent communication skills and ability to influence security decisions across engineering and business teams
Bonus Points
- Experience implementing CASB platforms and enterprise DLP solutions at scale
- Familiarity with Model Context Protocol (MCP) or similar AI orchestration frameworks
- Experience building “Secure by Default” environments in high-growth organizations
- Background in cloud-native or AI infrastructure environment.
