IT Infrastructure Capacity Analyst

Fluidstack; San Francisco (CA); On-site; USD 180,000 - 250,000; Full time

Job summary

Fluidstack is seeking a Capacity Planner to model IT and hardware capacity across the fulfillment pipeline, reconcile demand against orders, inventory and lead times, and flag gaps before they hit the schedule.

You will build automated capacity views, chase discrepancies, and translate analysis into actionable buying and deployment decisions. Proficiency with SQL, spreadsheets, and Python is a plus, with ERP data experience a bonus.

Qualifications

• Capacity, demand, or supply planning for hardware-heavy operations.
• Models built in SQL or spreadsheets that survive messy source data.
• Numbers tie out or you know exactly why not.
• Translate analysis into action: order now, shift that, elevate this.
• Automate data refreshes rather than rebuilding by hand.
• Bonus: Data center or hardware supply chains.

Responsibilities

• Model IT and hardware capacity across the pipeline and determine needs.
• Reconcile demand against orders, inventory, and lead times, flag gaps.
• Build capacity views and procurement runbooks that refresh automatically.
• Chase discrepancies to ground: a miscounted rack becomes a missed energization.

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—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 are 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.

How We Operate

• Extreme ownership. Full autonomy. Own things end to end often taking on scope outside your core role without being asked to get things done.
• Velocity. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.
• 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.

Role Scope

• Model IT and hardware capacity across the pipeline: what compute, network, and support gear each site needs and when.
• Reconcile demand against orders, inventory, and lead times, and flag the gap before it hits a schedule.
• Build the capacity views planning and procurement run on, refreshed automatically.
• Chase discrepancies to ground: a miscounted rack now is a missed energization later.

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 exact role you can tell us where you would.
• You've done capacity, demand, or supply planning for hardware‑heavy operations.
• You've built models in SQL or spreadsheets that survived contact with messy source data.
• You reconcile relentlessly: your numbers tie out or you know exactly why not.
• You translate an analysis into an action: order now, shift that, elevate this.
• You automate refreshes rather than rebuilding by hand.
• Bonus: Data center or hardware supply chains. ERP data. Python. Forecasting methods.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
