How to Apply for Product Manager, Security and Compliance

at Crusoe

🏢 About Crusoe

Crusoe uniquely transforms stranded energy (like flared natural gas) into eco-friendly power for data centers, significantly reducing environmental impact. They're at the intersection of energy innovation and cloud computing, offering a mission-driven opportunity to build secure infrastructure for AI workloads while advancing sustainability goals.

About This Role

This Product Manager role focuses on defining and executing the security vision for Crusoe's cloud platform, specifically around IAM, encryption, and compliance frameworks like SOC 2 and FedRAMP. You'll directly enable high-growth customer segments by building security guardrails for AI/ML workloads and communicating Crusoe's security posture to CISOs and technical buyers.

💡 A Day in the Life

You might start by reviewing security metrics from the previous day's AI inference workloads, then meet with Engineering to prioritize IAM feature development. Afternoon could involve collaborating with Legal on HIPAA compliance requirements for a healthcare customer, followed by drafting security documentation for an upcoming CISO review. You'll regularly interface between technical teams and customer-facing groups to ensure security enables rather than blocks business growth.

🎯 Who Crusoe Is Looking For

  • Has 8+ years of Product Management experience specifically in cloud security, infrastructure platforms, or DevSecOps environments
  • Possesses deep technical understanding of Kubernetes security, cloud networking, and the unique security challenges posed by LLMs and Generative AI
  • Has hands-on experience navigating SOC 2 compliance processes, with bonus points for HIPAA or FedRAMP familiarity
  • Can bridge technical security requirements with business needs to unblock enterprise customer adoption in regulated industries

📝 Tips for Applying to Crusoe

1

Highlight specific experience with AI/ML workload security challenges, not just generic cloud security

2

Quantify your impact on compliance initiatives (e.g., 'led SOC 2 Type II certification that enabled $X in new enterprise revenue')

3

Demonstrate understanding of Crusoe's unique energy-to-cloud value proposition in your application materials

4

Show examples of creating customer-facing security documentation or trust centers for technical buyers

5

Emphasize cross-functional experience partnering with Legal, Security, and Engineering teams on compliance initiatives

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

['Your experience with security for AI/ML workloads and managed inference environments', 'Specific compliance framework experience (SOC 2 required, highlight any HIPAA or FedRAMP exposure)', "How you've previously built security products that enabled new customer segments or revenue streams", "Why Crusoe's mission of sustainable computing resonates with your career goals"]
