Security Engineer, Offensive Security

Fluidstack; Seattle (WA); Presencial; USD 224 000 - 275 000; Tempo integral

Resumo da oferta

Fluidstack is seeking an experienced Offensive Security Engineer to build and lead our red team operations across cloud, hardware, and software. You will simulate adversaries, identify novel attack paths, and produce actionable findings that help us harden critical AI infrastructure.

You will work with blue teams and security engineers to prioritize risk, write code in Python or Go, and push the frontier of AI security across our data centers and cloud environments.

Qualificações

• Years of hands-on experience in red teaming and offensive security operations.
• Deep expertise in at least two: macOS, Linux, cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure), Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines.
• Find novel attack paths and chained vulnerabilities into full compromise.
• Run adversary simulations against well-defended environments.
• Write quality code in Python, Go, or similar languages.
• Write findings that get fixed and help teams prioritize risk.
• Work closely with blue teams.
• Bonus: state-nexus threat models, AI/ML testing, defensive security, hardware attacks.

Responsabilidades

• Build Fluidstack's offensive security program from the ground up, including its methodology, tooling, and engagement cadence.
• Run red and purple team operations emulating advanced threat actors across our cloud infrastructure, endpoints and bare metal deployments.
• Pen test critical systems, including tenant isolation, bare metal GPU hosts, firmware and BMCs, and data center OT.
• Partner with security and engineering teams on AI-specific attack scenarios, including agentic systems and other novel AI-enabled risks.
• Contribute to AI-assisted offensive testing tools and workflows.
• Present findings to technical and executive audiences as clear, actionable risk that shapes the security roadmap.
• Live on the bleeding edge of AI-enabled offensive operations inside and outside our environments

About Fluidstack

We exist to make humanity more free. For most of human history, you farmed or you starved. Technology gave people more time for the things they wanted to do, instead of things they had to do. Powerful AI will be the biggest lever for human choice we've ever built - but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants. There are groups building AI who don't share these goals. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it.

About Fluidstack

We exist to make humanity more free. For most of human history, you farmed or you starved. Technology gave people more time for the things they wanted to do, instead of things they had to do. Powerful AI will be the biggest lever for human choice we've ever built - but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants. There are groups building AI who don't share these goals. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it. We are singularly focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack. We acquire power, design and build data centers, and operate them - with teams spanning hardware and software. Speed and scale are our key differentiators. Come be a part of building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI. We hire people who care deeply about this problem space. If that is you, please apply!

How We Operate

• Be a barrel. Full autonomy. Own things end to end, take on scope without being asked, no permission required to operate outside your core role.
• Insane urgency. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.
• Reason from first principles. Challenge every assumption. Zero analogy thinking, no egos, the best idea wins.
• Love of the game. The frontier of AI is the most interesting problem of our time. We put in long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward.
• Build something that actually matters. If you’re going to spend your time, spend it on something that matters to the world.

The Security Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on

• You're securing the frontier of AI. The model weights training on our infrastructure are the most valuable and most targeted artifacts in technology, and we're standing up the compute to hold them faster than anyone ever has. A breach isn't a leak, it's the frontier walking out the door.
• Build the entire security program from scratch. Most leaders inherit someone else's system and spend a career patching it. Here you own it end to end, bare metal to boardroom, as we scale across continents.
• Your threat surface is measured in gigawatts. The customers running on our infrastructure are building the most consequential technology in human history, and being responsible for the physical and logical security of that work makes everything else feel small.

Role Scope

• Build Fluidstack's offensive security program from the ground up, including its methodology, tooling, and engagement cadence.
• Run red and purple team operations emulating advanced threat actors across our cloud infrastructure, endpoints and bare metal deployments.
• Pen test critical systems, including tenant isolation, bare metal GPU hosts, firmware and BMCs, and data center OT.
• Partner with security and engineering teams on AI-specific attack scenarios, including agentic systems and other novel AI-enabled risks.
• Contribute to AI-assisted offensive testing tools and workflows.
• Present findings to technical and executive audiences as clear, actionable risk that shapes the security roadmap.
• Live on the bleeding edge of AI-enabled offensive operations inside and outside our environments
