We deliver on-demand and private GPU infrastructure to teams who treat performance as a requirement, not a feature.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">We're a tight-knit, fast-moving team working at the cutting edge of AI cloud infrastructure. We practice what we preach, equipping our people with AI at every level so we can solve harder problems, ship faster, and keep raising the bar for what enterprise GPU infrastructure looks like.</p> <h4 class="text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold">THE ROLE: Information Security Officer</h4> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">This role exists because as we scale our infrastructure and customer base, protecting the systems, data, and trust that underpin Hyperstack is a business-critical priority. You'll have direct ownership over NexGen Cloud's information security posture — from policy and risk frameworks through to incident response and compliance programmes.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">This is a role for someone who operates independently, thinks in systems, and understands that good security is both a technical and a business discipline.</p> <h4 class="text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold">WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING:</h4> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Rather than a long checklist, here's what success in this role looks like:</p> <ul class="[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3"> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Own the development and maintenance of data security policies, standards, and procedures across the organisation</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Drive the information security roadmap, coordinating activities across Risk and Compliance, Engineering, and Operations</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Lead risk and vulnerability assessments, ensuring findings translate into prioritised remediation actions</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Oversee data classification, encryption, and access control frameworks</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Lead incident response planning, investigation, and remediation — including playbooks, communications, and documentation — tracking actions through to closure</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Collaborate with Engineering, DevOps, Legal, and Compliance to embed security by design</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Manage third-party security risk and vendor assessments, escalating material risks appropriately</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Build and deliver security awareness programmes across the organisation</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Maintain documentation for audits and regulatory reporting</li> </ul> <h4 class="text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold">ABOUT YOU:</h4> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">We're more interested in <strong>how you think and work</strong> than in a perfect CV.
