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.

The Supply Chain Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on

• Supply gigawatt-scale compute, 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.

Role Scope

• Own multi-year commodity strategies for direct material categories (metals, plastics, electronic components, sub-assemblies, MRO), building should-cost models that hold up against supplier pushback.

• Lead RFI, RFQ, and RFP processes and e-auction bidding events across global supply markets, qualifying suppliers on capacity, financial health, and risk through structured assessments and site audits.

• Negotiate and execute Master Supply Agreements, Long-Term Agreements, and pricing amendments, coordinating with Legal and Finance on annual price reviews and cost-down commitments.

• Run Quarterly Business Reviews and supplier scorecards tracking quality (PPM), delivery (OTD), cost, and responsiveness, and build dual-source and geographic diversification plans to close out single-source risk.

• Deliver annual cost reduction targets through value engineering, demand aggregation, and supplier consolidation, partnering with Engineering on design-for-cost decisions ahead of new product introductions.

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,

• You've built and owned multi-year commodity strategies for direct material categories, backed by should-cost models that survive supplier pushback.
• You've negotiated complex, multi-year supply agreements and pricing amendments across global markets, including Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America.
• You've run RFI, RFQ, and RFP processes and e-auction bidding events end to end, from supplier qualification through contract signature.
• You track supplier performance with scorecards spanning quality (PPM), delivery (OTD), and cost, and you use commodity indices (LME, CBOT) and hedging mechanisms to get ahead of pricing swings instead of reacting to them.
• You've delivered measurable annual cost reduction through value engineering, demand aggregation, or supplier consolidation, and you can show the numbers behind it.
• You've worked inside ERP and procurement platforms (SAP, Oracle, Ariba, Coupa, Jaggaer, or equivalent) enough to run sourcing events and spend analytics without hand-holding.
• Bonus: CPSM, CSCP, or CPP certification. Familiarity with quality systems (PPAP, APQP, IATF 16949, ISO 9001) for supplier qualification. Direct materials sourcing in a hardware or hyperscale infrastructure environment.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
