Senior System Security Engineering

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 worlds most ambitious AI workloads. When you join Crusoe, you join a team that is building the future, faster.

Were in the midst of the greatest industrial revolution of our time. The demand for AI compute is boundless, and power is a bottleneck. Were solving that — with an energy-first approach that makes AI infrastructure better for the world and faster for the people innovating with AI.
Were 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.
Crusoe is building the infrastructure that powers the AI revolution — data centers, power generation, manufacturing, construction, and corporate offices expanding across North America. The physical security technology stack protecting those sites has to perform at SLA at all times.
The Senior Physical Security Systems Engineer owns the standards, SLAs, and ongoing performance of that stack. You set the standards our Design and Construction team deploys against, validate deployed systems at acceptance, and own the configuration, integration health, and lifecycle management of the stack once sites go live. You will work closely with the GSOC, Senior Physical Security Intelligence Analyst, Protective Operations, Design and Construction, IT, and Network Engineering.
The ideal candidate brings hands-on operator experience from a hyperscale, data center, critical infrastructure, or technology environment and knows how to run a multi-site stack without breaking it.
