Job description

About FluidstackWe 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.

About FluidstackWe 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 Talent Acquisition Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on

• Deploy AI across the entire funnel. Use the latest models in every part of talent ops to find the best people in the world faster than any team has before. You won\'t bolt AI onto old processes; you\'ll rebuild recruiting around it.
• Treat talent as the critical path. Every role we can\'t fill slows the whole company down. We need to figure out how to move faster than everyone else in market without ever dropping the bar; one wrong hire costs more than a slow one.
• Build a brand the best want to join. Make Fluidstack a name top talent seeks out, not one we have to chase. You\'ll shape how the world\'s best engineers and operators hear about us, and why they say yes.

Role Scope

• Map, find, and engage the top 0.01% of technical candidates in the world before anyone else knows they exist.
• Map talent pools, competitive landscapes, and emerging technical communities into actionable intelligence on where exceptional candidates are and how to reach them.
• Build and execute proactive sourcing strategies, independently or with TA Partners, to fill pipelines for multiple competing roles.
• Operate as a data-driven function: track pipeline metrics, outreach conversion, and source effectiveness, and report pipeline health to recruiters and leadership.
• Design and document sourcing playbooks, channel strategies, and talent maps that scale with the company.
• Run ahead of the business, mapping future needs so Fluidstack always has a pipeline ready when roles open.

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 personally built proactive sourcing pipelines that landed exceptional technical candidates, not backfilled reqs from inbound.
• You map talent landscapes and turn them into intelligence that shapes hiring strategy.
• You run outreach that converts the best passive talent, with messaging that earns a reply from people who weren\'t looking.
• You work from data: conversion rates, source quality, pipeline health, and you refine your approach with it.
• You build sourcing infrastructure (playbooks, talent maps) that outlasts any single search.
• Bonus: Sourcing in AI, infrastructure, or deep-technical markets. Sourcing tooling and automation. Market-mapping or talent-intelligence work.

Salary & Benefits

• Competitive total compensation package (salary + equity).
• Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms.

Total compensation may also include equity in the form of stock options.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
