We are trying to troubleshoot the server crashing, and everytime it crashes I need to manually power cycle the droplet. This is making me the bottleneck. How can let my dev administer the droplet without me?

To change configuration and check logs of your server the best choice is root access, yet you need to really trust your dev. Once everything is fixed change root password, but again do this only if you trust the person you rely on.
Also make a backup of your droplet before any changes.
The dev already has root access!
The problem is that when the server crashes, it has to be manually restarted in the DigitalOcean control panel.
I guess there is no way to add other users to the control panel?
