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.

The R&D Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on

Turn modular and behind-the-meter designs into buildable, ordered, and scheduled reality across mechanical, electrical, controls, and modelling workstreams.
Redesign every data center system as a pre-engineered, shippable module that leaves the factory ready for UL listing and multi-state AHJ approval.
Develop and scale first-of-a-kind modular data centers that compress a gigawatt build from years of site trades into a factory schedule.
Prove out behind-the-meter power and the next generation of cooling and electrical distribution for multi-GW campuses.

Role Scope

Run the R&D program portfolio that turns modular and behind-the-meter designs into buildable, ordered, and scheduled reality across mechanical, electrical, controls, and modelling workstreams.
Hold one integrated view of the dependencies, decisions, and dates where workstreams share the same engineers and deadlines, and keep it current as designs change.
Run the operating rhythm of design reviews, decision logs, and escalations that keeps every workstream aligned and surfaces slips weeks before they hit the schedule.
Produce the honest one-pager on where every R&D program stands, so leadership sees real status and open decisions without chasing them.
Keep program artifacts as the single source of truth engineers actually run off of, so every program works from one current plan instead of scattered threads.

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 TPM or program management for hardware, infrastructure, or capital programs, and you still go hands-on when a program is stuck.
You've run portfolios where workstreams shared the same engineers and deadlines, and held one integrated view of dependencies and dates across them.
You surface the slip weeks early with the recovery options already attached, not after the date has moved.
Your program artifacts are the source of truth teams run off of, not decks that go stale the week after you build them.
You write and speak clearly enough to distill a tangled cross-workstream issue into a decision and a next step for an engineer or an executive.
Bonus: Data center or energy programs. NPI frameworks. Modular or productized hardware. Schedule risk analysis.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
