Security Lead, Deployment & Ops

About the company

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 resonates with you, we encourage you to apply.

About the team

The Security Team is tackling key problems at the frontier of AI:

• Securing the most valuable and targeted artifacts in technology: model weights training on our infrastructure. A breach isn’t just a leak—it’s the frontier walking out the door.
• Building the entire security program from scratch, owning it end-to-end from bare metal to boardroom as we scale across continents.
• Managing a threat surface measured in gigawatts, protecting the physical and logical security of the most consequential technology in human history.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end physical security across a portfolio of greenfield data center campuses, from groundbreak through commissioning into steady-state operations.
• Define and enforce post orders for contract guard services, holding the force to a high bar and managing the vendor strategically.
• Partner with engineering teams and trades to drive on-schedule deployment of physical security systems, including ESS programming and commissioning.
• Carry Fluidstack’s security commitments to customers, hitting every contractual milestone.
• Design and execute site-specific strategies for secure material movement and protection of critical assets through deployment and operations.

Requirements

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.

• Experience living the full data center security lifecycle from groundbreak to go-live, with fluency in both construction and operations.
• Deep technical expertise in Electronic Security Systems: programming, commissioning, door hardware validation—not just oversight.
• Ability to audit guard force compliance against post orders and manage the vendor to a high standard.
• Experience planning and executing secure material moves and critical-asset protection on active build sites.
• Energized by the pace of getting things built and comfortable owning security when it touches everything on site.

Bonus: Hyperscale greenfield builds, ESS deployment and commissioning at scale, construction-phase security, customer-facing security commitments.

Benefits

• Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms.
