Description

Information Security Officer Location: London Department: Risk and Compliance Reporting to: Head of Risk and Compliance ABOUT NEXGEN CLOUD: NexGen Cloud is the company behind Hyperstack, a full-stack AI cloud serving tens of thousands of customers from AI researchers to enterprises running the world's most compute-intensive workloads. We deliver on-demand and private GPU infrastructure to teams who treat performance as a requirement, not a feature. 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. THE ROLE: Information Security Officer 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. 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.

You'll likely bring a combination of the following: Essential Strong knowledge of data protection laws and regulatory frameworks Experience in cloud security environments Deep understanding of encryption, IAM, network security, and secure architecture principles Proven experience in incident response and risk management Familiarity with security standards such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST Ability to translate technical risks into business impact for non-technical stakeholders Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills Certifications are a plus (e.g. Security+, ISO 27001 Foundation, CC); advanced certifications (CISSP, CISM, CCSP) welcomed but not required Nice to Have Experience in HPC, GPU, or AI/ML cloud environments Background in SaaS, IaaS, or enterprise cloud infrastructure security Experience with zero-trust architecture implementation Knowledge of container and Kubernetes security Familiarity with DevSecOps practices and CI/CD security integration Exposure to international data transfer frameworks and multi-region compliance Experience with SIEM, SOAR, and advanced threat detection platforms Involvement in external security audits and penetration testing programmes Experience leading security certifications or accreditation programmes WHAT WE OFFER: Competitive salary and annual discretionary bonus scheme Employee wellbeing benefits 25 days of holiday, plus public holidays Flexible working arrangements (remote or hybrid, depending on role and location) Real ownership and autonomy, with the trust to take initiative and experiment The opportunity to make a visible, meaningful impact as we scale Clear career progression and growth opportunities in a fast-growing company A collaborative, international culture built on trust, transparency, and ownership The chance to help shape NexGen Cloud's team, culture, and future alongside ambitious, mission-driven colleagues MORE INFORMATION Head over to our NexGen Cloud careers page to view current openings and follow us on LinkedIn and X to learn more about our journey, newest releases and hear exciting news in the neocloud space.
