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.

Role Scope

• Drive programs across the production engineering org: fleet tooling rollouts, reliability initiatives, and cross-site standards.

• Run the cadence between production engineering, data center operations, and software teams so fixes ship fleet-wide instead of site by site.

• Own escalations from live sites through root cause to closed corrective action.

• Build the reporting that tells leadership where the fleet actually stands.

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 technical programs across infrastructure or operations engineering teams.

• You've taken incidents to root cause and driven the fix across every affected system.

• You keep a dozen workstreams moving and know which one is about to slip.

• You're fluent enough technically to challenge an engineer's estimate and be right sometimes.

• You write the update leadership actually reads.

• Bonus: Data center or fleet operations. SQL and dashboarding. Incident management systems. Hardware-software interface programs.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
