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

  • Be a barrel. Full autonomy. Own things end to end, take on scope without being asked, no permission required to operate outside your core role.
  • Insane urgency. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.
  • Reason from 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.
  • Build something that actually matters. If you're going to spend your time, spend it on something that matters to the world.

THE DATA CENTER OPERATIONS TEAM

Examples of key problems the team is working on

  • Operate at the scale of a nation, not a building. The fleet you run will draw more power than some countries, on the way to 10s of GW.
  • Fly the plane while it's being built. Sites come online in pieces, and you keep the live ones running flawlessly while construction continues around them.
  • Write the playbook, don't inherit it. No prior operations org has run at this speed and scale, so the standards you set become the standard.

ROLE SCOPE

  • Lead 24/7/365 operation of all critical infrastructure at your site: electrical distribution (UPS, generators, switchgear), mechanical and liquid cooling, fire/life safety, and building controls, accountable for availability against customer SLAs.
  • Own site safety in partnership with HSE, including hazardous energy control, electrical safety, and LOTO discipline across a mixed employee and contractor workforce.
  • Build and lead the full site team, facility operators alongside hardware and network operators, owning shift coverage, on-call rotations, performance, and development.
  • Run the hardware and network repair operation: own the ticket queues, drive triage, prioritization, break-fix, and RMA workflows, and hold time-to-repair against customer commitments as the fleet scales.
  • Run incident and change management for t

operations background.

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.

Physical Requirements

  • Work in non-climate-controlled environments, including active construction areas, data halls, electrical and mechanical rooms, and outdoor spaces. Temperatures can be high or low, and conditions can be humid, loud or dusty.
  • Lift, carry, push and pull up to 40 pounds on your own.
  • Sit, stand, walk, kneel, bend and crouch for long periods, including full shifts on your feet.
  • Wear the required personal protective equipment (PPE), such as hard hats, safety glasses, steel-toed boots, gloves and hearing protection, and follow site safety rules.
  • Climb stairs and ladders, and move around equipment, cable trays and uneven surfaces.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
