About the role
Lead incident response and build the security program from the ground up for Fluidstack's frontier compute infrastructure, spanning corporate, cloud, and data center environments.
Responsibilities
- Lead incident response end to end across corporate, cloud, and data center environments, from detection and containment through eradication and post-incident review.
- Build the detection logic, response playbooks, and forensic tooling for an environment where the assets under threat are the most targeted model weights in technology.
- Run investigations across a threat surface measured in gigawatts, correlating signals from cloud, endpoint, network, and physical systems into a single picture of an attack.
- Stand up the incident response function from the ground up, defining severity models, on-call rotations, and the escalation path to leadership.
- Turn each incident into a permanent improvement by partnering with the security and IT teams to close the gaps your investigations surface.
Qualifications
- You've personally led major security incidents from first alert to resolution, making containment calls under pressure with the business watching.
- You've built detection logic and response playbooks that caught real intrusions, not just theoretical ones.
- You've run digital forensics across cloud, endpoint, and network evidence and reconstructed what an attacker actually did.
- You've stood up or substantially rebuilt an incident response program rather than only operating inside someone else's.
- You've hunted for threats proactively and found activity that existing tooling missed.
- You write incident reports and postmortems clear enough that both engineers and executives act on them.
