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 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

  • Own full-cycle recruiting across technical and non-technical departments: proactive pipelines, rigorous screening, interview management, compensation discussions, and closing exceptional candidates.

  • Partner with hiring managers and leadership as a trusted talent advisor, challenging assumptions and bringing market data that sharpens their hiring strategy.

  • Drive workforce planning: use pipeline analytics and market intelligence to identify talent gaps ahead of demand, so Fluidstack never starts a critical hire from zero.

  • Screen with a high bar, assessing skills, potential, and mission alignment, and whether a candidate raises the average.

  • Operate as a data-driven function: track pipeline health, conversion, time-to-fill, offer acceptance, and source quality, and use it to improve the process.

  • Build and optimize hiring infrastructure: interview frameworks, scorecards, and structured processes that make the whole team faster.

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 owned full-cycle recruiting in a competitive market and closed exceptional candidates against strong metrics.

  • You think beyond the open req. You understand the business, anticipate hiring needs, and bring hiring managers insights they didn't know to ask for.

  • You find and engage talent others can't reach, through creative strategies, non-obvious channels, and outreach that converts.

  • You measure what matters (pipeline conversion, source quality, time-to-hire) and use it to make better decisions, not just report activity.

  • You hold an uncompromising bar. You know the difference between competent and exceptional and won't move off it.

  • Bonus: Technical recruiting in AI, infrastructure, or deep-technical markets. High-growth or zero-to-one TA environments. Sourcing craft and tooling.

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.

Total compensation may also include equity in the form of restricted stock units.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
