Fluidstack; Austin (TX); On-site; USD 105,000 - 135,000; Full time

Job summary

Fluidstack in Austin is seeking a capacity planning professional to model IT and hardware capacity across the pipeline, aligning compute, network, and gear with demand.

You will reconcile orders, inventory, and lead times, build automated capacity views, and chase discrepancies to keep energization on schedule; bonus: Python and ERP data experience.

Qualifications

• 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.

Responsibilities

• 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.

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.

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.

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.

• 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.
