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.

Role Scope

• Run the master schedule and cost controls across a portfolio of concurrent gigawatt-scale data center builds, keeping every site's plan tied to the forward pipeline.
• Build the reporting rhythm that gives delivery leads and executives a single source of truth on schedule, budget, and risk across all active programs.
• Drive the integrated risk register from identification to mitigation, surfacing schedule and cost exposure weeks before it lands on the critical path.
• Stand up the program controls tooling and standards that let a new site plug into the same schedule, cost, and reporting model on day one.
• Coordinate across construction, procurement, design, and commissioning to keep interdependencies visible and handoffs clean.

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 owned program controls, schedule, cost, and risk, across a portfolio of large capital projects running at the same time.
• You've built a reporting cadence that executives actually trust to make decisions, not a deck no one reads.
• You catch schedule slips and cost overruns weeks before they surface, because your integrated schedule and risk register are live, not stale.
• You've stood up program controls standards or tooling from scratch and gotten multiple teams to actually use them.
• You coordinate across construction, procurement, and design without losing track of the interdependencies that break schedules.
• You write clearly enough to turn a tangled program status into a decision and a next step for a delivery lead or a CEO.
• Bonus: Data center, mission-critical, or large industrial construction. Primavera P6 or equivalent scheduling at portfolio scale. Earned value management. Modular or repeatable build programs.

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.
