  • 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
Desired Qualifications
  • 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

Crusoe Energy Systems captures wasted flare gas from oil and gas sites and uses it to generate electricity on-site, powering modular data centers for high-performance computing tasks. This setup enables clients to run compute-heavy workloads such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and cryptocurrency mining using fuel captured from the same site. The company’s model has two parts: helping energy producers reduce flaring by turning stranded gas into usable power, and selling cloud computing services to customers around the world. In short, Crusoe pairs energy capture with on-site computing to provide affordable, low-carbon computing power. Unlike traditional data-center operators, Crusoe owns and controls the energy-to-compute chain—from gas capture to data processing—creating a direct link between the energy and technology sectors and offering a clear environmental benefit alongside access to compute resources.

Google-backed Texas data center to emit 4.5M tons of CO₂ yearly via private gas plant

A Google-backed data center in Texas will be partly powered by natural gas turbines emitting 4.5 million tonnes of greenhouse gases annually, equivalent to adding over 970,000 petrol cars to the road. The Goodnight campus in Armstrong County is being built by AI infrastructure company Crusoe, which Google joined in November as part of a $40 billion Texas investment. According to state air permit applications, the facility's fifth and sixth buildings will use private, off-grid gas power, though Google says it has no contract in place for this energy. The project reflects a broader trend: data centers are driving a US natural gas boom, with nearly 100 gigawatts of gas-fired power currently in development solely for such facilities. Several planned projects would emit even more, with OpenAI and Oracle's New Mexico facility potentially generating 14 million tonnes yearly.

From Code To Impact: Crusoe’S Hackathon Reveals Ai’S Power To Drive Change In Energy And Beyond

We want to hear from you! Take our quick AI survey and share your insights on the current state of AI, how you’re implementing it, and what you expect to see in the future. Learn More. In a 24-hour hackathon hosted by Crusoe Energy and Lowercarbon Capital, developers demonstrated the remarkable speed at which AI can tackle longstanding challenges in the clean energy sector. The event, held in San Francisco on June 28-29, 2024, showcased how AI tools can compress months or years of traditional work into mere hours, potentially revolutionizing clean energy deployment.The winning team, Verdigris, exemplified this swift transformation by developing an AI system that addresses key barriers in home electrification. Their tool analyzes mortgage data to identify qualified homeowners for zero-cost upgrades and generates personalized marketing materials, including AI-created images of homes with proposed improvements. This level of personalization and automation could significantly accelerate the adoption of home energy upgrades.Team Verdigris’ winning moment    Credit: Crusoe Verdigris’s system integrates with bank databases to access mortgage information, income data and property details

How Gradient Created An Open Llm With A Million-Token Context Window

Don’t miss OpenAI, Chevron, Nvidia, Kaiser Permanente, and Capital One leaders only at VentureBeat Transform 2024. Gain essential insights about GenAI and expand your network at this exclusive three day event. Learn More. In a recent collaboration, AI startup Gradient and cloud compute platform Crusoe extended the “context window” of Llama-3 models to 1 million tokens. The context window determines the number of input and output tokens a large language model (LLM) can process. Big tech companies and frontier AI labs are locked in a race to extend the context windows of their LLMs. In a few months, models have gone from supporting a few thousand tokens to more than a million in less than a year
