Bare Metal Security Engineer - End-to-End Fleet Defense

Fluidstack; New York (NY); Hybrid; USD 140,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

Fluidstack is seeking a security-focused engineer to own end-to-end security for our bare metal server fleet and hardware platforms. You will design hardened OS images, implement encryption, and enforce robust BMC security policies across global data centers.

You will collaborate with networking and hardware teams to implement zero-trust architecture and incident response processes, leveraging your expertise in Linux security and automation.

Qualifications

• You've worked in information security or infrastructure engineering with high-scale IaaS or bare metal.
• You harden Linux deeply (SELinux, AppArmor) and manage network security (TCP/IP, VPNs, firewalls).
• You implement disk- and hardware-level encryption, and understand HSMs and TPM/TXT.
• You automate fluently in Python, Go, or Rust with configuration management (Ansible, Puppet, Chef).
• You collaborate across teams and communicate security decisions clearly.
• Bonus: OpenBMC, iDRAC, iLO; hardware root of trust and secure boot; SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP; CISSP/OSCP/CEH.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end security for every server in the bare metal fleet, from supply chain and provisioning through hardening, operation, and secure decommissioning.
• Design and maintain hardened golden OS images with automated vulnerability scanning, patch pipelines, and configuration-drift detection.
• Define and enforce the BMC security model (access control, credential rotation, audit logging, firmware integrity) for one of the most under-defended surfaces in the industry.
• Partner with network engineering on micro-segmentation, IDS/IPS, and firewall architecture, applying zero-trust from the top-of-rack up.
• Implement data-at-rest encryption, key management, and secure storage access at fleet scale, and build the automation that makes secure-by-default the path of least resistance.
• Lead threat modeling and security reviews for new hardware platforms and network designs, and respond to incidents touching the physical fleet.
