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

• High 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 Supply Chain Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on

• Supply 10GW of compute the largest build out of compute in history. Qualify and dual-source across every critical equipment category with lead-time and capacity thresholds tied directly to the forward build pipeline.

• Make supply chain the reason we build faster than anyone. Our modular build redefines speed in this industry and it lives or dies on supply chain. Keep procurement permanently off the critical path so schedule compression stays our advantage not our constraint.

• Build the most accurate supply chain prediction modelling that exists. Use the frontier of AI to forecast lead times demand and disruption with a precision the industry has never had and turn that foresight into a structural edge.

Role Scope

• Own and execute multi-year commodity strategies for assigned direct-material categories (metals plastics electronic components sub-assemblies MRO) supporting continuous manufacturing.

• Monitor commodity markets index pricing and supply/demand dynamics and build should-cost models to validate supplier pricing against the market.

• Lead RFI/RFQ/RFP processes and competitive bidding including e-auctions and evaluate supplier capability capacity and risk through structured assessments and site audits.

• Negotiate pricing terms lead times and volume commitments and execute MSAs LTAs and pricing amendments with Legal and Finance.

• Own supplier relationships as primary commercial contact: QBRs scorecards (PPM OTD cost responsiveness) and continuous improvement and develop alternate sources to kill single-source risk.

• Deliver annual cost-reduction and productivity targets through value engineering demand aggregation and consolidation and feed market-validated costs into budgeting and S&OP.

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 owned commodity strategy and strategic sourcing for direct materials in a manufacturing environment negotiating complex contracts and long-term agreements.

• You build should-cost models and use market intelligence to validate pricing not just accept supplier quotes.

• You run structured supplier management: QBRs scorecards dual-sourcing and risk mitigation.

• You consistently hit cost-reduction targets through real levers (value engineering consolidation demand aggregation).

• You partner with Engineering Quality and Planning including on NPI and design-for-cost.

• Bonus: Direct-material categories for hardware or electronics. CPSM CSCP or CPP. Global supply markets. Manufacturing S&OP.

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.

The base salary range for this position is $170000 - $220000 per year depending on experience skills qualifications and location. This range represents our good faith estimate of the compensation for this role at the time of posting. Total compensation may also include equity in the form of stock options.
