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 People Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on

  • Build the people function from scratch, fast enough to keep up with 10x growth. We grew headcount 10x in the last year and we're not slowing down. You'll build the systems, programs, and team from nothing, and make them work before we outgrow them.

  • Reinvent people operations around AI. Doing this by hand doesn't scale to a workforce growing this fast on a team this lean. You'll put AI at the core of how the function runs, so a small team supports many times its number.

  • Own the culture and comms as the company scales. When a company scales this quickly, staying connected and aligned doesn't happen on its own. You'll own the internal comms, events, and rhythm that keep a multi-site team that's growing fast bound to a shared culture.

Role Scope

  • Serve as the people partner for the Manufacturing org as it scales from startup crew to full production workforce.

  • Coach managers, many of them first-time, on hiring, performance, and hard conversations on a factory timeline.

  • Own employee relations on the ground: investigate, resolve, and document with judgment and speed.

  • Build the people rhythms for an hourly and salaried workforce: onboarding, reviews, engagement, and offboarding.

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 been the HR partner for a manufacturing, industrial, or field workforce, on-site and in the mix.

  • You've coached first-time managers into good ones.

  • You've run sensitive ER cases end to end and your investigations held up.

  • You move at operating speed: same-day answers, not next-cycle policies.

  • You know employment law well enough to know when you need counsel.

  • Bonus: Hourly workforce programs. High-growth scaling. HRIS implementation. Bilingual English and Spanish.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
