Job Summary

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 weve ever built - but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants. There are groups building AI who dont share these goals. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it.

Were 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

  • Own commissioning strategy for first-of-a-kind designs: how modular units and BTM plants get proven written into the design.

  • Build the commissioning reference package: scripts checklists and acceptance criteria versioned with the design itself.

  • Run first-of-a-kind commissioning personally: first units through Level 5 with your name on the results.

  • Feed everything back: commissioning findings driving design revisions not just punch lists.

What Were Looking For

  • The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people so if you dont fit this role exactly tell us where you would.

  • Youve led commissioning for data centers or power infrastructure.

  • Youve commissioned first-of-a-kind systems where the script didnt exist yet.

  • You write commissioning documentation field teams execute clean.

  • You disposition failures fast: fix waive or redesign with reasons.

  • Youve pushed commissioning lessons upstream into design.

  • Bonus: Commissioning automation exposure. CxA or equivalent credentials. BTM and generation commissioning. Integrated systems test design.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
