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.

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 the ASC 740 income tax provision for a company through its audits, including deferred taxes, valuation allowances, and the rate reconciliation.
You've built or overhauled a tax provision process and its controls rather than inheriting a finished one.
You've managed external tax advisors and auditors and held your tax positions under their scrutiny.
You've handled tax across multiple entities and jurisdictions, including the complexity that comes with new states and countries.
You've partnered with accounting and FP&A during a close and delivered the provision and disclosures on the timeline the close demanded.
You explain a technical tax position clearly enough that a non-tax executive can make a decision on it.
Bonus: CPA or an advanced tax qualification. Big Four tax provision experience. Capital-intensive or infrastructure companies. Multinational tax and transfer pricing. NetSuite or Pigment.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
