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 weve ever built - but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants. There are groups building AI who dont share these goals. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it.

Were 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 youre going to spend your time spend it on something that matters to the world.

The Construction Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on

• Put gigawatts in the ground faster than anyone has. Were delivering one of the largest data center buildouts of its kind with many sites running at once. Traditional construction management breaks at this scale so were building the model that replaces it.

• Throw out traditional construction and invent how gigawatts get built. Tons of tools layers of process and administrative drag dont get you there. Youll strip all of that out and win by solving the real problem and beating the goal not by managing toward it.

• Productize the data center so we can build it a thousand times. Youll turn one-off construction into a repeatable modular build where the hundredth site goes up faster and cleaner than the first. That repeatability is the only way to reach the scale were targeting.

Role Scope

• Run technical due diligence on every site from Site Acquisitions handoff to break ground directing environmental and civil engineers through environmental site assessments land and boundary surveys and traffic impact studies.

• Make the go or no-go call on dirt: buildable on time on budget with no deal-killers or permanent risks before we transact.

• Negotiate and organize contracts directly joining risk-profile decisions and taking big commercials off leaderships plate.

• Bring on the civil engineer architect and GC and own the master budget milestone schedule and floor access dates across five or more sites at once.

What Were Looking For

The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people so if you dont fit this role exactly tell us where you would .

• Youve personally run technical due diligence on land and can walk site identification to break ground in order from the first environmental assessments and land surveys on saying what you did yourself at each step.

• Youve directed environmental and civil engineers and read traffic impact studies closely enough to challenge them.

• Youve decided what kills a deal and what is acceptable risk and told leadership a site was clean enough to transact.

• Youve negotiated or organized contracts yourself.

• You run several projects at once on your own and bring leadership a decision.

• Bonus: Owner-side land development (greenfield industrial commercial energy). Hyperscale data center development or pre-construction. Utility and mineral rights diligence (water power interconnection). Modular or prefabricated delivery.

Salary & Benefits

• Competitive total compensation package (salary equity).

• Retirement or pension plan in line with local norms.

• Health dental and vision insurance.

• Generous PTO policy in line with local norms.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
