Fluidstack; United States; Remote; USD 150,000 - 240,000; Full time

Job summary

Fluidstack is seeking an experienced security leader to own incident response across corporate, cloud, and data center environments. You will build detection logic, run forensics, and design an end-to-end incident program to protect the frontier of AI infrastructure.

You will lead major security incidents, develop playbooks, and drive post-incident improvements with cross-functional teams, ensuring rapid containment and clear executive communication.

Qualifications

• You've 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.
• Bonus: Experience defending high-value targets such as AI labs, financial infrastructure, or critical infrastructure against nation-state threat models. Cloud-native forensics (AWS, GCP). Detection engineering and SIEM or SOAR tooling. Malware analysis or reverse engineering.

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.
