About Fluidstack

At Fluidstack, we’re building the infrastructure for abundant intelligence. We partner with top AI labs, governments, and enterprises - including Mistral, Poolside, Black Forest Labs, Meta, and more - to unlock compute at the speed of light.

We treat our customers’ outcomes as our own, taking pride in the systems we build and the trust we earn. If you’re motivated by purpose, obsessed with excellence, and ready to work very hard to accelerate the future of intelligence, join us in building what's next.

About the Role

As our Senior Manager of Systems Controls, you will own the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of Fluidstack's General IT Controls (GITC) framework. You'll operate at the intersection of infrastructure, compliance, and security — ensuring that the systems powering the future of AI are built on a foundation of rigorous, auditable control environments. This is a high-impact, high-ownership role on a lean team, partnering closely with Engineering, Security, Legal, and Finance to scale our controls program alongside our business.

Basic Qualifications:

• Deep hands-on expertise in GITC design and assessment, including access management, change management, IT operations, and logical security controls

• Proven ability to lead SOC 1/SOC 2, ISO 27001, or similar audits end-to-end — from scoping and control mapping through evidence collection and auditor liaison

• Strong command of control frameworks such as COSO, COBIT, NIST CSF, or ISO 27001

• Experience evaluating and documenting controls in complex, cloud-native or hybrid infrastructure environments (AWS, GCP, Azure)

• Demonstrated ability to translate technical control requirements into clear policies, procedures, and evidence packages for both technical and non-technical stakeholders

• Track record of building or maturing a controls program from the ground up, not just maintaining an inherited one

Preferred Qualifications:

• Relevant certification such as CISA, CISSP, CISM, or CPA with IT audit focus

• Familiarity with AI/ML infrastructure environments or GPU compute platforms

• Experience working within a fast-scaling startup or high-growth technology company

• Background in external audit (Big 4 or equivalent) with a transition into industry

Salary & Benefits

• Competitive total compensation package (salary + equity).

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

• Health, dental, and vision insurance.

• Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms.

The salary range for this position is $180,000 - $250,000 per year, depending on experience, skills, qualifications, and location. This range represents our good faith estimate of the compensation for this role at the time of posting. Total compensation may also include equity in the form of stock options.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
