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!
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.
Examples of key problems the team is working on
Supply compute at a scale of 10s to 100s of GWs, the largest build out of compute in history. Qualify and dual-source across every critical equipment category, with lead-time and capacity thresholds tied directly to the forward build pipeline.
Make supply chain the reason we build faster than anyone. Our modular build redefines speed in this industry, and it lives or dies on supply chain. Keep procurement permanently off the critical path so schedule compression stays our advantage, not our constraint.
Build the most accurate supply chain prediction modelling that exists. Use the frontier of AI to forecast lead times, demand, and disruption with a precision the industry has never had, and turn that foresight into a structural edge.
Own the end-to-end strategy for sourcing, onboarding, and sustaining the contractor workforce and site services that keep Fluidstack's sites running across multiple states.
Build and manage a multi-tier supplier network for contract labor: low-voltage electricians, CDU install and maintenance techs, facilities ops, security integrators and guard services, structured cabling crews, and general site trades.
Develop preferred-supplier lists and MSA/SOW frameworks with pre-negotiated rate cards and qualification standards for rapid mobilization at new sites.
Manage union-jurisdiction awareness (IBEW, NECA) and compliance with prevailing wage, Davis-Bacon, and local labor agreements.
Source and negotiate workforce support services (crew housing, catering, transportation, PPE) with volume agreements that scale as site headcount moves through project phases.
Partner with Recruiting on contract-to-hire pipelines, and build local workforce-development programs (community colleges, apprenticeships, DOL Registered Apprenticeship) that grow trades capacity where Fluidstack operates.
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 sourced and managed contract labor and trades at scale for construction, data center, or industrial operations across multiple sites.
You know how to mobilize a skilled workforce fast: rate cards, MSA/SOW frameworks, and qualification standards that travel to new sites.
You understand union jurisdictions and labor compliance (prevailing wage, Davis-Bacon) well enough to keep a multi-state buildout clean.
You've procured site-support services (lodging, food, transport, PPE) under fluctuating headcount.
You partner across DC Ops, Construction, Recruiting, and Finance, and you've built contractor-to-hire or workforce-development programs.
Bonus: Skilled-trades or construction labor sourcing. Liquid cooling / CDU or high-density power trades. Apprenticeship or workforce-grant programs. Multi-site hyperscale buildouts.
Total compensation may also include equity in the form of restricted stock units.
Additional benefits include:
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.
