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 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 10s of 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
Lead 24/7/365 operation of all critical infrastructure at your site: electrical distribution (UPS, generators, switchgear), mechanical and liquid cooling, fire/life safety, and building controls, accountable for availability against customer SLAs.
Own site safety in partnership with HSE, including hazardous energy control, electrical safety, and LOTO discipline across a mixed employee and contractor workforce.
Build and lead the full site team, facility operators alongside hardware and network operators, owning shift coverage, on-call rotations, performance, and development.
Run the hardware and network repair operation: own the ticket queues, drive triage, prioritization, break-fix, and RMA workflows, and hold time-to-repair against customer commitments as the fleet scales.
Run incident and change management for the site: lead severity response as the escalation point, deliver root cause analyses on 5 and 10 day clocks, and drive corrective actions that fix classes of problems, not instances.
Partner with construction, commissioning, colo providers, and utilities while the site is live and still being built, driving operational readiness, MOP and SOO rigor, and clean handover into operations.
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 run 24/7 critical facility operations where availability was contractual, and you can walk through the incidents that tested it.
You know electrical and mechanical infrastructure deeply enough to dig into the details with your technicians: you've stood in front of switchgear or a CDU and known which questions to ask.
You've run a high-volume repair or break-fix operation, server fleets or network fabrics, where queue discipline and time-to-repair were the scoreboard.
You've built and developed technical teams through hiring, coaching, and hard performance calls, and your former reports would say you made them better.
You've operated procedure-based safety programs (LOTO, electrical safety, hazardous energy control) and held the line when schedule pressure pushed against them.
You've partnered with construction and commissioning teams during live builds and caught operational and safety gaps before they reached handover.
You write and present clearly enough to put an RCA or a status update in front of an executive or a customer without translation.
Bonus: Hyperscale or Tier III/IV facility experience. Trade certification or journeyman license (electrical, HVAC, controls). New-facility commissioning and operational readiness programs. CMMS/EAM systems. GPU cluster or high-performance network operations background.
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.
