About the Role

As Bitdeer AI Cloud's first dedicated hands-on security leader for the Americas, you will own the full-stack security and 7x24 security operations of AI Data Centers (AIDCs) across California, Tennessee, and Washington. This is a deeply hands-on technical operations role, personally leading detection engineering, incident response, and host/network hardening, while also handling US customer incident response and cross-time-zone coordination with Singapore HQ. The core mission is to ensure secure GPU compute business operations across three Americas AIDCs while driving incident MTTR to industry-leading levels, despite significant time differences with HQ.

Responsibilities

  • Serve as the primary on-call security lead for the Americas region, owning 7x24 alert triage, incident response, and root cause analysis.
  • Act as the primary security decision-maker for the Americas during PST business hours when Singapore HQ is offline.
  • Personally drive the response to high-severity incidents including cryptojacking, ransomware, data exfiltration, and tenant escape scenarios.
  • Lead the full forensics, containment, and recovery cycle for security incidents.
  • Build and maintain Americas regional incident response playbooks and runbooks.
  • Collaborate with the global SecOps team on SIEM detection rules, SOAR automation, and IR tabletop exercises.
  • Lead customer security incident response, engaging customer security teams and coordinating with Sales and Customer Success.
  • Serve as the Americas escalation interface, coordinating decisions with Singapore HQ, Legal, and business teams during major incidents.
  • Personally write SIEM detection rules covering typical GPU cloud attack scenarios.
  • Design detection coverage assessments based on the MITRE ATT&CK Cloud Matrix and Container Matrix.
  • Proactively identify and close visibility blind spots in detection coverage.
  • Lead hypothesis-driven threat hunting activities, producing comprehensive hunting reports and new detection rules.
  • Design runtime detection capabilities using eBPF tools to complement traditional HIDS detection.
  • Operationalize detection-as-code practices in the Americas region.
  • Lead pre-production security readiness assessments for all Americas AIDCs.
  • Personally drive host hardening initiatives.
  • Partner with the Platform Engineering team to deploy eBPF-based runtime security monitoring.
  • Track CVEs for critical components and lead Americas regional vulnerability response.
  • Lead Americas regional IAM and privileged access management.
  • Lead the configuration and operations of perimeter firewalls, IPS, and WAF for all Americas AIDCs.
  • Engage DDoS scrubbing services and build robust Americas regional DDoS response plans.
  • Establish east-west traffic baselines to identify anomalous traffic patterns.
  • Configure BGP RPKI, source address validation, and other network-layer security controls.
  • Plan and deploy traffic analysis solutions to enable full traffic traceability at physical boundaries.
  • Respond to customer-submitted security tickets, abuse complaints, and incident notifications.
  • Handle US law enforcement requests, collaborating closely with Legal.
  • Establish Americas regional customer security incident SLA tracking and post-incident review mechanisms.
  • Establish seamless security collaboration mechanisms between the Americas and Singapore HQ.
  • Serve as the Americas regional compliance support interface, partnering with the Singapore GRC Manager.
  • Represent Bitdeer AI Cloud Security within local US security communities and industry events.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • 10+ years of hands-on information security experience, with at least 5 years strictly focused on cloud infrastructure / IaaS / data center security technical operations.
  • Deep incident response experience as an Incident Commander, having successfully led at least 5 P0/P1 security incidents end-to-end.
  • Thoroughly familiar with the NIST SP 800-61 IR process.
  • Deep expertise in Linux system security, network protocols, TCP/IP, virtualization (KVM/QEMU), and container/Kubernetes security.
  • Hands-on experience with at least one mainstream SIEM platform (Wazuh / Splunk / Elastic SIEM / Sentinel) and the ability to independently write detection rules.
  • Familiarity with the SIGMA rule format is required.
  • Familiar with the MITRE ATT&CK Framework (Cloud Matrix and Container Matrix) with a proven ability to design detection coverage assessments.
  • Strong scripting and programming skills: Python (Required) + Shell (Required); Go or Rust are highly preferred.
  • Ability to independently develop security tools and automation scripts.
  • Familiarity with the eBPF technology stack (Tetragon / Falco / Cilium) and a strong understanding of its application in cloud-native runtime security.
  • Familiarity with at least one IaC tool (Terraform / Ansible) and standard Git workflows to codify security configurations.
  • At least one of the following industry certifications is required: GCIH, GCIA, GCFA, OSCP, CISSP, CCSP.
  • Professional fluency in both English and Mandarin Chinese is required.
  • Willingness to accept irregular working hours.
  • Must participate in a 7x24 on-call rotation during major incidents and conduct daily cross-time-zone coordination with Singapore HQ (SGT).
