When you join Crusoe, you join a team that is building the future, faster.

We're 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.

About the Role:

GRC Platform & Automation

• Identifying opportunities to streamline and automate repetitive GRC workflows, including continuous control monitoring

• Applying AI and LLM-based tools to improve productivity across compliance operations, such as accelerating questionnaire responses, summarizing audit evidence, or drafting policy updates

• Tracking and reporting on compliance metrics and control health to GRC leadership

What You'll Bring to the Team:

• 5–7 years of experience in GRC, information security, IT audit, or a related compliance role, with demonstrated ownership of end-to-end audit cycles

• Practical knowledge of compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and NIST CSF
