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.

The IT Team

  • **Examples of key problems the team is working on**

  • - **Engineer the systems behind one of the worlds largest compute buildouts.** Everything runs as code version-controlled and reproducible so a new hire team or site spins up in minutes instead of days. Youll build internal infrastructure with real engineering rigor and keep it ahead of a company growing 10x.

  • - **Solve multi-tenancy problems most IT engineers never touch.** Fluidstack runs teams sites and customers in parallel and the internal systems have to keep them cleanly separated and secure at speed. Youll own architecture problems usually reserved for product infrastructure on the inside.

  • - **Give every employee the speed it takes to reach tens of gigawatts.** The faster the companys people move the faster we get to tens of gigawatts. Youll own the internal systems and support that keep a 10x workforce unblocked.

Role Scope

  • - Build and run the on-site IT infrastructure at gigawatt-scale data center campuses from corporate network and Wi-Fi to badge systems conference rooms and edge compute so a new site is operational the day the first team arrives.

  • - Automate provisioning of endpoints identity and access across a workforce growing 10x so device setup and offboarding run as version-controlled code rather than manual tickets.

  • - Own the multi-site IT stack that keeps teams contractors and customers cleanly separated and secure coordinating with the security team on access controls and network segmentation.

  • - Stand up repeatable IT deployment runbooks for each new campus so the tenth site comes online faster and cleaner than the first.

  • - Resolve on-site incidents and unblock field and construction teams directly closing the gap between a reported issue and a working system in hours not days.

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 built and run IT infrastructure across multiple physical sites standing up networks identity and endpoint management from nothing rather than inheriting a mature environment.

  • - Youve automated IT operations with code (scripting infrastructure-as-code MDM policy as code) so that a task done twice by hand became software.

  • - Youve owned identity and access management (SSO SCIM directory services) for a fast-growing organization without letting access sprawl or offboarding gaps accumulate.

  • - Youve been the person field construction or operations teams call when systems are down on site and youve resolved incidents under time pressure with people waiting on you.

  • - Youve designed multi-tenant or segmented network environments that kept separate teams sites or customers secure without slowing anyone down.

  • - You write documentation and runbooks clear enough that the next engineer can stand up a site without asking you how.

  • - Bonus: Data center or industrial site IT experience. Hands-on networking (BGP VLANs firewalls) at scale. Okta Jamf or Intune administration. Security or compliance framework exposure (SOC 2 ISO 27001).

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
