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, please apply!

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.

The People Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on

• Build the people function from scratch, fast enough to keep up with 10x growth. We grew headcount 10x in the last year and we're not slowing down. You'll build the systems, programs, and team from nothing, and make them work before we outgrow them.
• Reinvent people operations around AI. Doing this by hand doesn't scale to a workforce growing this fast on a team this lean. You'll put AI at the core of how the function runs, so a small team supports many times its number.
• Own the culture and comms as the company scales. When a company scales this quickly, staying connected and aligned doesn't happen on its own. You'll own the internal comms, events, and rhythm that keep a multi-site team that's growing fast bound to a shared culture.

Role Scope

• Serve as the people partner for your client orgs: the first call for managers on hiring, performance, structure, and the hard conversations.
• Own employee relations end to end: investigate, resolve, and document with judgment and speed.
• Run the people rhythms for your groups: onboarding, reviews, engagement, and offboarding that scale with 10x growth.
• Coach managers, many of them first-time, into leaders their teams would choose again.
• Put AI to work on the function itself: automate the repeatable so partner time goes to judgment, not paperwork.

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 been an HRBP or people partner through rapid scaling, and your client leaders would hire you again.
• You've run sensitive ER cases end to end and your investigations held up.
• You've coached first-time managers into good ones.
• You move at operating speed: same-day answers, not next-cycle policies.
• You know employment law well enough to know when you need counsel.
• You work the data: retention, performance, and engagement signals read early and acted on.
• Bonus: Technical, field, or industrial client groups. High-growth startups. HRIS implementation. AI-native people ops tooling.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
