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 MEP & Structural Procurement Team

The MEP & Structural Procurement team gets the physical equipment for gigawatt-scale AI data centers, electrical, cooling, power, and structural, delivered to site on schedule.

Examples of key problems the team is working on:

Expediting capital equipment orders where a slipped delivery pushes a construction milestone, and renegotiating vendor commitments to recover the schedule
Managing supplier, CM, and ODM capacity across multiple concurrent project sites so lead times and allocations don't collide
Reconciling purchase orders against engineering drawings and specs to catch scope discrepancies before equipment ships wrong
Running root-cause analysis on delivery misses and reporting supply status to PMs and leadership with enough rigor to drive decisions

Role Scope

Lead the materials management team: set priorities and workload across the materials managers and coach their expediting practice until every open order has an owner and a recovery plan
Work the hardest vendor recoveries yourself, expediting capital equipment orders with direct schedule consequences and renegotiating delivery commitments the site schedule can actually absorb
Own the consolidated root-cause and reporting rhythm to PMs and leadership, so every delivery miss has a documented cause, a corrective action, and a credible new date
Manage 4-5+ suppliers, CMs, and ODMs across concurrent project sites, keeping capacity, lead times, and allocations from colliding between projects
Read engineering drawings and specs against orders yourself and catch scope discrepancies before they become field problems
Travel to vendor sites to verify production status and push recoveries in person when the situation demands it

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.

7-10+ years in global sourcing or supply chain for capital equipment or data center infrastructure
You've led a team of buyers or materials managers, or been its clear senior anchor, setting priorities and coaching how they expedite
You've personally expedited capital equipment orders where the slip had direct schedule consequences, and renegotiated the vendor's delivery commitment yourself, not through a subordinate
You've managed 4-5+ suppliers, CMs, or ODMs across concurrent project sites
You can read engineering drawings and specs well enough to catch a scope discrepancy the vendor missed
You're comfortable traveling to vendor sites, and you know when a problem needs you on the floor rather than on a call
You're a player-coach: you run the team's rhythm and still take the hardest recoveries yourself
Bonus: background in owner-furnished equipment, cooling and power components for AI data centers, or GPU platform procurement at a hyperscaler

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
