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.

The Supply Chain Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on

  • Supply tens of gigawatts of compute, the largest build out of compute in history. Qualify and multi-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 sourcing and buying for every critical equipment category behind a tens of gigawatts build: switchgear, transformers, generators, UPS, chillers, CDUs, and the long-lead gear that sets the schedule.

  • Lock vendor capacity and lead times against the forward build pipeline.

  • Hold vendors to their production ramps by tracking every commitment from PO to delivery and acting the day a ship date slips.

  • Build the category team: hire category leads and buyers, define the sourcing playbook, and own the results.

  • Work with Design, Construction, and Manufacturing so equipment lands before the schedule needs it and procurement never sits on the critical path.

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 personally owned nine-figure direct materials spend on physical equipment, and you can walk through the numbers from memory.

  • You've held vendors to production ramp commitments, and you can name the time a supplier slipped and what you did that week.

  • You've built a category or sourcing team: hired the people, set the process, and handed off categories that kept delivering.

  • You've worked electrical and mechanical equipment lead times hands-on, down to the factory slot and the test date.

  • You've scaled supply at a company going from prototype to volume, where the playbook didn't exist and you wrote it.

  • You've made sourcing calls on incomplete data, owned the ones that went wrong, and can say what you changed after.

  • Bonus: Data center or utility-scale electrical equipment. Fast-scaling hardware: EV, aerospace, energy storage. Dual-sourcing a critical category through a supply shock. Supplier quality and factory acceptance testing programs. Modular or offsite construction supply chains.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
