Job summary

Fluidstack is seeking an experienced Deployment TPM to run cross-site programs across multiple data halls and sites, owning scheduling, dependencies, and risk reporting. You will coordinate across teams to ensure timely, data-driven deployments and clear leadership communication.

You will lead TPM teams, make sequencing decisions, and deliver trusted program reporting to leadership with real dates and risks, enabling rapid, scalable deployment of GPU compute capacity and delivering

Qualifications

• You've run multi-site infrastructure programs as the lead TPM.
• You've made sequencing calls between competing projects and made them stick.
• Your program reporting is trusted because it has been right.
• You've built and led TPM teams.
• Bonus: Data center deployment programs, hardware supply interface, program tooling, executive reporting.

Responsibilities

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.

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 Deployments Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on

• Turn empty data halls into serving GPUs in weeks. Deployment owns everything between construction handover and customer‑ready compute: racks, fabric, and validation at hundreds of megawatts per site.
• Stand up gigawatts a year, hundreds of megawatts at a time. Data halls go from construction handover to serving GPUs in weeks, across multiple sites at once.
• Deploy 10s to 100s of GWs with software, not headcount. Bring‑up, validation, and handoff run on tooling the team builds, so the hundredth data hall deploys faster than the first instead of needing a hundred times the people.

Role Scope

• Run the deployment program across all sites: schedules, dependencies, and escalations in one view.
• Own cross‑site resource and sequencing decisions when parallel builds compete for the same teams.
• Build the program reporting leadership runs on: real dates, real risks, no weather forecasts.
• Lead the TPM team covering per‑site deployment programs.

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 run multi‑site infrastructure programs as the lead TPM.
• You've made sequencing calls between competing projects and made them stick.
• Your program reporting is trusted because it has been right.
• You've built and led TPM teams.
• Bonus: Data center deployment programs. Hardware supply interface. Program tooling. Executive reporting.
