Production Engineer, IaaS

About Fluidstack

We exist to make humanity more free. For most of human history, you farmed or you starved. Technology gave people more time for the things they wanted to do, instead of things they had to do. Powerful AI will be the biggest lever for human choice we've ever built - but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants. There are groups building AI who don't share these goals. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it. We're singularly focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack. We acquire power, design and build data centers, and operate them - with teams spanning hardware and software. Speed and scale are our key differentiators. Come be a part of building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI. We hire people who care deeply about this problem space. If that is you, please apply!

Required Qualifications

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 treat toil as a bug. If something requires a human to do it twice, you build the thing that makes it not require a human. • You design APIs that age well. You've felt the pain of a leaky abstraction at scale and you don't repeat it. • You move toward ambiguity, not away from it. You walk into the fog, build the map, and explain it to everyone else. • You learn at a steep slope. You reach real competence in an unfamiliar domain fast. We value this over existing expertise. • You carry a pager without flinching. You run the incident, write the postmortem, fix the systemic cause, and move on. • You're fluent with AI tooling. LLM APIs, MCP servers, and agentic frameworks, and you drive Claude Code, Cursor, or similar every day. • You've shipped production services that other teams depend on at scale, and you're comfortable in any language using AI coding tools. • Bonus: Distributed systems and data pipeline engineering. Time-series observability stacks (Prometheus, Thanos, VictoriaMetrics). API design and versioning at scale. Workflow and orchestration engines (Temporal, Cadence). BMC/Redfish or hardware telemetry. Go, Python, and Postgres.
