Solar Lead

Fluidstack

We exist to make humanity more free. 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

• High ownership. Full autonomy. Own things end to end often taking on scope outside your core role without being asked to get things done.
• Velocity. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.
• 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.

Role Scope

• Own solar strategy and deployment. This includes commercial relationships with solar developers, suppliers, independent power producers, and behind-the-meter generation partners across every active US data center market, from initial site engagement through executed offtake agreement.
• Negotiate solar PPAs, behind-the-meter offtake agreements, and retail power arrangements with commercial counterparties, structuring terms that create fungible capacity options and running scenario analyses to extend the shelf life of existing agreements or accelerate delivery of new ones.
• Shape solar energy outcomes by engaging in interconnection processes, state and federal regulatory proceedings, and policy engagements that affect behind-the-meter generation timelines and economics.
• Partner with the site acquisition team to assess solar resource quality, supply chain constraints, and behind-the-meter generation potential for prospective locations before lease commitments are made.
• Quarterback solar workstreams across design, construction, finance, and grid operations, and distill market, regulatory, and technology developments into clear decisions for leadership.

What We're Looking For

• You've personally managed a portfolio of large-scale infrastructure or data center projects where the complexity came from the number of concurrent sites, not just the size of any single one.
• You've built a program tracking processes, systems and reporting pipelines from scratch, not inherited them, and the output was something a leadership team actually used to make decisions.
• You quarterback across construction, utilities, legal, finance, and operations simultaneously, and you're the person other teams call when a milestone is at risk.
• You've owned stage-gate or milestone frameworks that coordinated handoffs between site selection, engineering, permitting, and operations, with no terms lost in the transition.
• You catch schedule risk and cost exposure weeks before they surface in a status meeting, and you know which two people to call to fix it.
• You write and communicate clearly enough to give a CEO or external developer a crisp summary of where a gigawatt-scale portfolio stands in five minutes.
• Data center powered shell or leased capacity deal structures. Utility interconnection and power market dynamics. AI infrastructure constraints and chip-lock scheduling. Portfolio-level tooling or automation built on top of spreadsheet-era data.

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.

Total compensation may also include equity in the form of stock options. We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
