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

Fluidstack's R&D organization designs the next generations of our data center product: modular builds, new cooling and power architectures, and the lab-to-field pipeline that turns prototypes into deployable capacity. The team spans mechanical, electrical, controls, and compute engineering, working with manufacturing and supply chain to move designs from first article to repeatable production as we scale to multiple gigawatts.

Role Scope

Own program plans across R&D workstreams: scope, sequencing, owners, and the critical path from concept through prototype, qualification, and production handoff.
Run NPI programs end to end, coordinating design reviews, build schedules, long-lead procurement, and lab/test capacity so nothing waits on ambiguity.
Drive cross-functional execution between R&D, manufacturing, supply chain, and deployment teams; surface risks early and force decisions fast.
Build the reporting cadence leadership runs on: honest status, slipping items named, recovery plans attached.
Turn recurring chaos into process only where process pays for itself. We optimize for velocity, not ceremony.

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.

5+ years of technical program management across hardware or infrastructure programs (NPI, data center, energy, aerospace, automotive, or similar build-heavy domains).
Comfortable in the details of mechanical/electrical/controls engineering programs. You can read a schedule risk off an engineering conversation.
Proven at running multiple concurrent programs with distributed engineering, manufacturing, and vendor teams.
Bias to action: you close loops yourself, escalate with options not problems, and keep programs moving without waiting to be asked.
On-site energy: this role lives close to the lab and the factory floor.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
