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

• 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 Data Center Operations Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on

• Operate at the scale of a nation, not a building. Accelerating toward 100 GW by the end of the decade, roughly the entire electricity consumption of Japan. You won't just run a data center; you'll run infrastructure the size of a G7.

• Fly the plane while it's being built. Running flawless operations inside a live construction zone, adapting in real time and turning the pace of build-out into our advantage. You will redefine operational excellence.

• Write the playbook, don't inherit it. Most operators step into someone else's system. Here you build one, leaving your fingerprints on how the whole company runs. As we scale 100x, you'll set the standards, shape the operating model, and grow the team by the thousands.

Role Scope

• Serve as the most senior technical authority for the operational hardware fleet across the hyperscale AI data center portfolio: GPU systems, servers, storage, and supporting hardware.

• Lead site assessments and operational audits, and drive the technical readiness of teams ahead of site activation.

• Review hardware platforms and integration designs from an operational lens, and feed learnings back into hardware engineering, deployment, and supply chain as the build model becomes productized.

• Author, approve, and execute high-risk hardware MOPs and change records in live production, and lead fleet-wide root cause analysis to closure.

• Hold OEMs, ODMs, and service vendors accountable to a standard, including flawed RMA and integration processes, without burning the relationship.

• Act as the connective tissue and force multiplier across hardware operations, hardware engineering, network, facilities, supply chain, and customer-facing teams. Travel 50-75%.

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 spent a career operating mission-critical hardware at scale, with significant time as the senior technical voice on a site, campus, or fleet.

• You command GPU systems, server platforms, storage, firmware lifecycle, and hardware diagnostics, earned in the field rather than from a textbook.

• You've authored and executed high-risk MOPs and led root cause analysis on significant hardware events through closure.

• You hold OEMs, ODMs, and deployment partners to a standard, and you enforce it without breaking the relationship.

• You write clearly (health assessments, RCAs, design feedback) and you teach, lifting the technical readiness of every team around you.

• Bonus: Hyperscale or large HPC fleets supporting thousands of accelerators. Liquid-cooled compute operations. Linux and hardware management tooling. Standing up new sites from handover to steady state. Scripting for fleet-scale operations.

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 $220,000 - $260,000 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.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
