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 Talent Acquisition Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on

  • Deploy AI across the entire funnel. Use the latest models in every part of talent ops to find the best people in the world faster than any team has before. You won't bolt AI onto old processes; you'll rebuild recruiting around it.

  • Treat talent as the critical path. Every role we can't fill slows the whole company down. We need to figure out how to move faster than everyone else in market without ever dropping the bar; one wrong hire costs more than a slow one.

  • Build a brand the best want to join. Make Fluidstack a name top talent seeks out, not one we have to chase. You'll shape how the world's best engineers and operators hear about us, and why they say yes.

Role Scope

  • Map, find, and engage the top 0.01% of technical candidates in the world before anyone else knows they exist.

  • Map talent pools, competitive landscapes, and emerging technical communities into actionable intelligence on where exceptional candidates are and how to reach them.

  • Build and execute proactive sourcing strategies, independently or with TA Partners, to fill pipelines for multiple competing roles.

  • Operate as a data-driven function: track pipeline metrics, outreach conversion, and source effectiveness, and report pipeline health to recruiters and leadership.

  • Design and document sourcing playbooks, channel strategies, and talent maps that scale with the company.

  • Run ahead of the business, mapping future needs so Fluidstack always has a pipeline ready when roles open.

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 built proactive sourcing pipelines that landed exceptional technical candidates, not backfilled reqs from inbound.

  • You map talent landscapes and turn them into intelligence that shapes hiring strategy.

  • You run outreach that converts the best passive talent, with messaging that earns a reply from people who weren't looking.

  • You work from data: conversion rates, source quality, pipeline health, and you refine your approach with it.

  • You build sourcing infrastructure (playbooks, talent maps) that outlasts any single search.

  • Bonus: Sourcing in AI, infrastructure, or deep-technical markets. Sourcing tooling and automation. Market-mapping or talent-intelligence work.

Salary & Benefits

  • Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms.
