Lead Incident Responder

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.

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

• Lead incidents as a senior incident commander in the on-call rotation, and serve as the escalation backstop when a case rises above the responders on call.
• Own the 24/7 coverage model, rotation discipline, and response SLAs for your US region, keeping the program humane and the bar high at the same time.
• Build and develop a team of senior incident responders, setting the on-call expectations and quality bar they operate to.
• Drive executive, legal, and customer communications during declared incidents, including regulated reporting and disclosure timelines.
• Own the joint operating relationship with Physical Security and Data Center Operations for incidents that cross cyber, physical, and OT surfaces.
• Run the post-incident review cadence and drive remediation to completion across detection, response, and infrastructure.
• Hold the bar on the agentic triage layer, defining what the agent escalates and feeding incident learnings back to detection engineering and threat intelligence.

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 led material incidents end to end as a senior incident commander at organizations with sophisticated, well-resourced threat actors.
• You've managed and grown a team of senior responders while staying in the on-call rotation yourself.
• You've designed or run a 24/7 on-call program: coverage models, rotation discipline, acknowledgement and response SLAs, and escalation chains.
• You move between technical containment and executive, legal, or customer-facing communications during a declared incident without losing the thread.
• You've made disclosure-grade calls under regulatory and customer reporting clocks.
• You've built operating relationships across security, infrastructure, and physical or facilities teams, and led incidents that crossed those boundaries.
• You have well-founded opinions on what makes an on-call program humane and an incident response process effective, and you're ready to build one from a small senior core.
• Bonus: Incident response bridging cyber, physical, and OT or ICS surfaces. Experience at critical-infrastructure operators, data centers, or 24/7 high-availability environments. Standing up or scaling an IR team and on-call program from scratch. Operating under FedRAMP, SEC, or similar regulated incident-reporting regimes. Agent-augmented IR, including triage, investigation, or response automation.
