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. The fleet you run will draw more power than some countries, on the way to 100 GW.
Fly the plane while it's being built. Sites come online in pieces, and you keep the live ones running flawlessly while construction continues around them.
Write the playbook, don't inherit it. No prior operations org has run at this speed and scale, so the standards you set become the standard.
Role Scope
Rack, cable, and validate GPU servers and network hardware across live data halls, working to deployment schedules measured in days, not weeks.
Run structured cabling, optics cleaning, and link testing so every port passes before compute hands over to production.
Execute break-fix on servers, switches, and PDUs, swapping failed components and closing tickets the same shift they open.
Track every asset movement in the inventory system so rack elevations, cable maps, and counts stay accurate as the site scales.
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 racked and cabled servers or network gear in a production data center, and the work passed QA the first time.
You read a rack elevation, a cable schedule, and a port map without needing them explained.
You troubleshoot hardware methodically: isolate, swap, verify, document.
You keep a ticket queue clean, and your closed tickets say what actually changed.
You work safely around live power and follow lockout/tagout without shortcuts.
Bonus: Fiber termination and testing. GPU or HPC hardware. DCIM tooling. Forklift or lift equipment certification.
We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
