Job description

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,

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 Data Center Operations Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on

• Operate at the scale of a nation, not a building. The fleet you run will draw more power than some countries, on the way to 10s to 100s of GWs.
• Fly the plane while it's being built. Sites come online in pieces, and you keep the live ones running flawlessly while construction continues around them.
• Write the playbook, don’t inherit it. No prior operations org has run at this speed and scale, so the standards you set become the standard.

Role Scope

• Own facility operations for the Lubbock site: MEP plant health, the maintenance program, and site services.
• Build the preventive maintenance program from OEM requirements and site history, then hold the schedule.
• Manage facility vendors and service contracts from scope to invoice.
• Partner with construction and commissioning so new capacity hands over to operations clean.

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, tell us where you would.
• You've owned facility operations for a critical or industrial site.
• You've built or rebuilt a preventive maintenance program and can show the reliability improvement it produced.
• You manage vendor contracts with commercial discipline.
• You've taken buildings over from construction and know what a bad handover costs.
• Bonus: Data center experience. CMMS implementation. NFPA 70E. Water treatment programs.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
