Compute & Storage Sourcing Lead

FluidStack; Austin (TX); On-site; USD 140,000 - 170,000; Full time

Job summary

Fluidstack is seeking a role within its Supply Chain Team in Austin to manage compute and storage categories, including GPU servers and storage systems, from supplier strategy through delivery. You will negotiate pricing, lead times, and capacity with OEMs/ODMs, aligning with the forward build pipeline.

You will ensure robust dual-sourcing to prevent schedule slips and will monitor on-time delivery and lead-time drift monthly.

Responsibilities

• Own the compute and storage category: GPU servers, storage systems, and node-level components from supplier strategy through delivery.
• Negotiate pricing, lead times, and capacity reservations with OEMs and ODMs, tied to the forward build pipeline rather than trailing volumes.
• Dual-source every critical node configuration so a single supplier slip never stalls a data hall.
• Track supplier performance with data: on-time delivery, DOA rates, and lead-time drift reviewed and acted on monthly.
