Technical Program Manager, Security

Fluidstack; Seattle, New York, San Francisco, Austin (WA, NY, CA, TX); Hybrid; USD 180,000 - 230,000; Full time

Job summary

Fluidstack is seeking a Security Program Manager to lead the Security Team’s initiatives across physical, logical, and datacenter security. You will coordinate cross-functional teams, set deadlines, and drive incident response readiness and compliance evidence.

You will translate risk into actionable plans, maintain program cadence, and ensure security requirements land before compute as we scale globally. Strong communication with engineering, IT, and leadership is essential.

Qualifications

• You've run technical program management for a security or infrastructure org, holding engineers and external partners to deadlines they signed up for.
• You've driven a security or compliance initiative (SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, or a customer security review) from kickoff to evidence without losing the thread across teams.
• You translate between security engineers and executives, distilling a sprawling risk picture into a decision and a next step.
• You've coordinated incident response or audit timelines where a slipped date had real consequences, and you kept the trains running.

Responsibilities

• Run the security program's execution across physical, logical, and datacenter security, turning initiatives into tracked workstreams with owners, deadlines, and no dropped threads.
• Drive cross-team security deliverables (bare-metal hardening, access control, incident response readiness, compliance evidence) to closure across engineering, datacenter operations, and IT.
• Stand up the operating rhythm of the security org: reviews, risk tracking, audit and certification timelines, and the reporting that keeps leadership and customers current.
• Quarterback security requirements into new site builds and customer onboarding so controls land before compute does, not after.
• Own the metrics and status that show where the program is exposed, what is on track, and what needs an escalation this week.

Job description

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're 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

• Extreme ownership. Full autonomy. Own things end to end often taking on scope outside your core role without being asked to get things done.

• Velocity. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.

• 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.

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

• Run the security program's execution across physical, logical, and datacenter security, turning a fast-growing set of initiatives into tracked workstreams with owners, deadlines, and no dropped threads.

• Drive cross-team security deliverables (bare-metal hardening, access control, incident response readiness, compliance evidence) to closure across engineering, datacenter operations, and IT.

• Stand up the operating rhythm of the security org: reviews, risk tracking, audit and certification timelines, and the reporting that keeps leadership and customers current.

• Quarterback security requirements into new site builds and customer onboarding so controls land before compute does, not after.

• Own the metrics and status that show where the program is exposed, what is on track, and what needs an escalation this week.

What We're Looking For

• The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.

• You've run technical program management for a security or infrastructure org, holding engineers and external partners to deadlines they signed up for.

• You've driven a security or compliance initiative (SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, or a customer security review) from kickoff to evidence without losing the thread across teams.

• You translate between security engineers and executives, distilling a sprawling risk picture into a decision and a next step.

• You've coordinated incident response or audit timelines where a slipped date had real consequences, and you kept the trains running.

• You track commitments, risks, and open items as a habit, so nothing critical lives only in someone's head.

• Bonus: physical security or datacenter security programs. Model-weight or high-value-asset protection. Security tooling rollouts. A security certification (CISSP, CISM).

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
