Fluidstack; Austin (TX); On-site; USD 239,000 - 278,000; Full time

Job summary

Fluidstack is building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI and seeks a strategic Supply Chain professional to own compute and storage sourcing. You will negotiate with OEMs/ ODMs, manage lead times, and ensure allocations align with forward build plans.

The role emphasizes dual-sourcing and data-driven supplier performance tracking to keep schedules on track and enable faster deployment of GPU servers and storage systems.

Qualifications

• You've sourced servers, GPUs, or storage at volume from OEMs or ODMs.
• You've secured allocation during constrained cycles by making your account matter to the supplier.
• You read a cost breakdown and know which lines are real and which are padding.
• You’ve managed supplier performance with scorecards that changed behavior, not just recorded it.

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.
• 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.
