Protective Intelligence and Investigations Lead

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

• 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 the capability. Build Fluidstack's protective intelligence and investigations capability from the ground up; set analytic standards, quality expectations, and case management discipline that hold as the program scales with the company's footprint across multiple continents, with room to grow it into a team.

• Own the program. Own the end-to-end protective intelligence program: threat intake and triage, monitoring, open-source research, case management, reporting, and dissemination to executives, security leadership, and operational teams.

• Mature investigations. Build and mature investigative capabilities by partnering with HR, insider threat, and cybersecurity to implement risk-based background processes and continuous monitoring aligned with Fluidstack's scaling pace.

• Assess threats. Conduct threat assessments and investigations on potentially threatening communications, indicators from open sources, and commercial databases; apply structured analytic techniques to prioritize risks and recommend actions.

• Run lean. Establish a lean investigative framework that leverages other departments and tools across the security organization and the wider enterprise.

• Embed intelligence in operations. Integrate protective intelligence into company processes: hiring and onboarding decisions, visitor and vendor management, executive travel, events, and crisis response, so operations move at full speed without security gaps.

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 built and scaled a protective intelligence program or investigations function from early stage, setting the standards and processes that held as the organization grew.

• You conduct open-source research and threat assessment with rigor: you know how to find signal in noise across social media, commercial databases, and public records, and you know what doesn't constitute a real threat.

• You've worked in high-threat or high-visibility environments where the stakes on accuracy and judgment were real. You understand when to escalate and when to de-escalate, and stakeholders trust your assessment.

• You write and brief clearly enough to give a CEO or a security leadership team a decision and a next step from complex, ambiguous information.

• You partner effectively across functions. You've worked with Legal, HR, Compliance, and Law Enforcement on overlapping concerns without losing sight of what protective intelligence uniquely answers.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
