Gas Lead

About Fluidstack

We exist to make humanity more free. For most of human history, you farmed or you starved. Technology gave people more time for the things they wanted to do, instead of things they had to do. Powerful AI will be the biggest lever for human choice we've ever built - but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants. There are groups building AI who don't share these goals. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it.

We're singularly focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack. We acquire power, design and build data centers, and operate them - with teams spanning hardware and software. Speed and scale are our key differentiators. Come be a part of building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI.

We hire people who care deeply about this problem space. If that is you, please apply!

How We Operate

• Be a barrel. Full autonomy. Own things end to end, take on scope without being asked, no permission required to operate outside your core role.

• Insane urgency. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.

• Reason from first principles. Challenge every assumption. Zero analogy thinking, no egos, the best idea wins.

• Love of the game. The frontier of AI is the most interesting problem of our time. We put in long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward.

• Build something that actually matters. If you're going to spend your time, spend it on something that matters to the world.

Role Scope

• Negotiate behind-the-meter PPAs, tolling agreements, and heat rate options with generation owners and developers for multi-hundred-megawatt data center campuses.

• Negotiate gas supply, transport, and basis arrangements that lock in fuel price and deliverability for each behind-the-meter site before the build starts.

• Diligence prospective behind-the-meter gas sites for pipeline access, fuel constraints, air permitting, and power delivery risk before we commit to a lease.

• Evaluate generation equipment (for example turbines and reciprocating engines) on heat rate, availability, lead time, emissions, and delivered cost, and turn it into a clear recommendation for leadership.

• Quarterback development, engineering, legal, and finance from site selection through executed supply contracts to energization, and flag cost and schedule exposure before it reaches leadership.

What We're Looking For

The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.

• You've personally negotiated behind-the-meter PPAs, tolls, or heat rate options where the economics had to hold through project finance and final deal terms.

• You've negotiated gas supply agreements and managed fixed-price, index, and basis exposure, and you know which fuel constraints break a plant's dispatch.

• You've diligenced a gas-fired site from pipeline access and fuel deliverability through air permits and power delivery, and you know what kills a site early.

• You've compared generation technologies on heat rate, spark-spread economics, and reliability, and your analysis drove an equipment decision.

• You've built the techno-economic models behind these deals and defended the sensitivities to lenders, investors, or executives.

• You quarterback across engineering, legal, finance, and operations, and you write clearly enough to distill a technical question into a decision and a next step for a CEO.

• Bonus: Multi-market power experience (ERCOT, PJM, MISO, WECC). Plant dispatch and fuel optimization (generator, asset manager, or trading desk). Large-load and utility interconnection. Pipeline capacity and midstream contracting.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
