Security Lead, Deployment & Ops

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!

About the Role

You'll own security from groundbreaking to go-live on greenfield data center campus builds, shaping how every site comes online securely and stays that way. This role is built for an operator who's equally comfortable auditing guard force compliance against post orders and being elbow-deep in Electronic Security System programming and commissioning. Door hardware validation, critical material moves, deployment of our advanced security tech stack: if security touches it, you'll own it. We're looking for a seasoned practitioner who has lived the full data center lifecycle: someone who speaks construction and operations fluently, who's deeply technical, and who's energized by hard problems and the pace of getting things built.

Responsibilities:

• Own end-to-end physical security across a portfolio of greenfield data center campuses, from groundbreak through commissioning and into steady-state operations

• Define and enforce post orders for contract guard services, holding the force to a high bar of discipline and performance on every site; manage the vendor strategically

• Partner closely with engineering teams and trades to drive the seamless, on-schedule deployment of physical security systems

• Carry FluidStack's security commitments to our customers, making sure we hit every contractual milestone, not just the easy ones

• Design and execute site-specific strategies for secure material movement and the protection of critical assets throughout deployment and into operations

Basic Qualifications:

• 10+ years hyperscale data center security experience

• Comfortable working with trades and reading construction documents

• Deep knowledge of Electronic Security Systems

• Willing to travel 50%

Preferred Qualifications:

• 5 years security integrator experience

• Guard force experience

• Supporting certifications or accreditations to prove professional development in relevant fields such as ASIS PSP, Comptia Network+, etc..

Salary & Benefits

• Competitive total compensation package (salary + equity).

• Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms.

The base salary range for this position is $300,000 - $400,000 per year, depending on experience, skills, qualifications, and location.
