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

Write and qualify welding procedure specifications and procedure qualification records to AWS D1.1 for the structural and pressure-boundary welds in modular data center assemblies.
Inspect and certify welds across the manufacturing line, signing off on the work an AHJ or auditor will not accept without a qualified inspector.
Build the weld quality program for a factory producing data center modules at rate, setting the acceptance criteria, NDE requirements, and first-pass-yield targets.
Qualify welders and welding operators, and stand up the continuity and requalification tracking that keeps the whole line certified.
Drive down weld defect and rework rates by root-causing failures on the floor and feeding fixes back into procedures and fixturing.

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 hold a current AWS Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) credential and have signed off on structural or pressure welds to AWS D1.1 or an equivalent code.
You've written and qualified WPS and PQR documentation for production welding, not just reviewed someone else's.
You've stood up or run a weld quality program in a manufacturing or fabrication environment producing at rate.
You've qualified welders and managed the continuity records that keep a line's certifications valid.
You root-cause weld defects on the floor and close the loop by fixing the procedure, the fixture, or the training, so the same defect doesn't come back.
You read a weld map and a fabrication drawing and catch the problem before the first arc strikes.
Bonus: ASME Section IX or B31 piping. NDE certifications (UT, RT, MT, PT). High-volume or modular fabrication. Robotic or automated welding. Data center or mission-critical infrastructure fabrication.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
