Fireworks’ state of the art training and inference platform take you beyond the frontier, transforming open models into your specialized intelligence. Backed by Bessemer, Index and Lightspeed.

About the role

We're hiring our first Security Operations Lead to build and run the SecOps function at Fireworks AI. As we scale our AI infrastructure platform globally, we're investing in a modern detection and response capability anchored on CrowdStrike (EDR and SIEM, 365-day retention), Console AI for ticketing, and Incident.io for on-call and incident management.

What they're looking for

  • 7+ years in security operations, detection and response, incident response, or a closely related field
  • Hands-on experience with EDR platforms (CrowdStrike strongly preferred, SentinelOne, Defender, or similar also relevant) including detection engineering and tuning
  • Strong detection engineering background: you've written, tested, and maintained detection content at scale and understand the tradeoffs between coverage, fidelity, and analyst load
  • Demonstrated incident response leadership: you've run real incidents from triage through executive communication and post-incident review
  • Strong scripting and automation skills (Python, SOAR platforms) applied to detection, response, and reporting workflows
  • Working knowledge of cloud security operations (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and the unique telemetry, attack patterns, and response considerations of cloud-native environments
