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 Supply Chain Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on

  • Supply compute at a scale of 10s to 100s of GWs, the largest build out of compute in history. Qualify and dual-source across every critical equipment category, with lead-time and capacity thresholds tied directly to the forward build pipeline.

  • Make supply chain the reason we build faster than anyone. Our modular build redefines speed in this industry, and it lives or dies on supply chain. Keep procurement permanently off the critical path so schedule compression stays our advantage, not our constraint.

  • Build the most accurate supply chain prediction modelling that exists. Use the frontier of AI to forecast lead times, demand, and disruption with a precision the industry has never had, and turn that foresight into a structural edge.

Role Scope

  • Own supplier quality for electrical equipment: switchgear, transformers, UPS, and busway from qualification through delivery.

  • Run factory audits and witness testing (FAT, routine tests) at electrical OEM facilities worldwide.

  • Set inspection and test requirements into purchase orders so quality is contractual, not assumed.

  • Drive corrective action on escapes, and track supplier quality data that feeds back into award decisions.

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 done supplier quality or witness testing for major electrical equipment.

  • You read electrical test reports critically and know which passing numbers deserve a second look.

  • You've held OEMs to test standards when schedule pressure argued for waiving them.

  • You travel to factories readily and use the trips well.

  • Bonus: IEEE and ANSI switchgear standards. Transformer testing. UPS and battery systems. NETA or NICET credentials.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
