About Fluidstack

Technology is the most important tool humans have found for improving the human condition, but it is not a default good. It is a lever for ideology.

Today the most powerful technology in history is being built: machines that solve problems better than humans can. The most important mission of our generation is to imbue AI with democratic values: error-correcting institutions, freedom of speech, individual liberties. AI trains and runs on massive compute clusters. Whichever ideology builds the infrastructure the fastest is the ideology that will endure. Democracy is delicate and won't survive this technology by default.

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

Diligence prospective sites across both paths to power, grid interconnection and behind-the-meter generation, and turn each one into a go or no-go recommendation in days rather than weeks.
Build and own the delivered cost of power model across candidate sites and both paths, from tariffs and network upgrade exposure on the grid side to gas basis, transport, heat rate, and availability behind the meter.
Be the single source of truth on where every site stands, queue position and study milestones on the grid side, contracted fuel and generation position behind the meter, and what has to happen next on each.
Run the diligence file on every live site, tariff filings and interconnection studies, pipeline and interconnect agreements, air permits, offtake term sheets, and generation specifications, kept clean enough to walk a counterparty or a lender through cold.
Support the Leads through live negotiations with term sheet comparisons, sensitivity runs, counterparty and credit screens, and the one number that decides the question, delivered before the next call rather than after it.
Track the markets and the policy that set the rules we build under, ISO large load processes, rate cases and tariff changes, and gas fundamentals in the basins we are buying into.

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 built a model that someone traded, invested, or committed capital off, and you can defend every assumption in it under pressure.
You've read a contract, tariff, or study report closely and pulled out the two or three terms that actually change the economics, rather than summarising the whole thing.
You turn a disordered data room into a one page recommendation that names the thing the decision actually turns on.
You've caught a material error in someone else's work before it reached a decision maker, and you raised it rather than working around it.
You've been dropped into a market or an asset class you did not know and been useful inside a few weeks, and you can point to how you got up to speed.
You write up what you found the same day you found it, so a site file never depends on what is in your head.
Bonus: Commodities trading or analytics desks in gas or power (basis, storage, transport, fundamentals). Origination and structuring teams, especially PPA and offtake work. Large load or generator interconnection across one or more ISOs (ERCOT, PJM, MISO, SPP, WECC). Transaction diligence from M&A, project finance, or infrastructure investing. Behind-the-meter or distributed generation development. Modelling and data tooling (Python, SQL, ICE and CME data, Wood Mackenzie, Velocity Suite).

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
