Job summary

Fluidstack in San Francisco is seeking a senior engineer to build test automation and orchestration systems for hardware deployments. You will integrate with control systems and ensure data trails are auditable while shipping repeatable tooling across sites.

Qualifications

• You’ve built test automation or orchestration systems for hardware, infrastructure, or industrial use.
• You’ve integrated software with control systems or instrumentation.
• You design for auditability: every result traceable to raw data.
• You’ve replaced a manual expert process with software the experts trust.

Responsibilities

• Build the software that automates commissioning: test orchestration, data capture, and pass-fail analysis.
• Ship tooling that turns commissioning scripts into executable, repeatable code across sites.
• Integrate with BMS, EPMS, and test equipment so evidence collects itself.
• Own the reporting: commissioning status and results live, not in binders.

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.

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

• Build the software that automates commissioning: test orchestration, data capture, and pass-fail analysis for L4 and L5.
• Ship the tooling that turns commissioning scripts into executable, repeatable code across sites.
• Integrate with BMS, EPMS, and test equipment so evidence collects itself.
• Own the reporting: commissioning status and results live, not in binders.

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 built test automation or orchestration systems for hardware, infrastructure, or industrial use.
• You’ve integrated software with control systems or instrumentation.
• You design for auditability: every result traceable to raw data.
• You’ve replaced a manual expert process with software the experts trust.
• You ship fast with production discipline.
• Bonus: Commissioning domain. BMS protocols. Python, Go, or TypeScript. Data center MEP familiarity.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
