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!

How We Operate

• Extreme ownership. Full autonomy. Own things end to end often taking on scope outside your core role without being asked to get things done.

• Velocity. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.

• 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.

The Data Center Design Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on

• Lead the design, development, and execution of 10s to 100s of GWs of data centers this decade.

• Drive the next generation of liquid cooling and electrical distribution systems.

• Develop and scale first-of-a-kind modular data centers.

• Influence behind-the-meter designs and planning for multi-GW campuses.

Role Scope

• Own the civil engineering workstream across a multi-site, multi-state development portfolio, from early site screening through design, permitting, and construction completion.

• Lead civil due diligence for greenfield and conversion sites: topography, drainage, utilities, soils, floodplain, and environmental constraints.

• Direct geotechnical investigations: scope RFPs, review boring programs, interpret reports, and assign design actions.

• Review traffic studies and offsite infrastructure requirements, and flag civil cost and schedule risk during site selection.

• Develop and maintain civil basis of design, standard details, and specs, and manage external civil consultants through IFC.

• Coordinate with geotechnical engineers, local authorities, GCs, and project teams as the site civil authority (grading, drainage, utilities, floodplain, earthwork).

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 civil engineering on large-scale site development, ideally owner/developer-side, and you want deep data center exposure.

• You run civil due diligence and read geotech reports well enough to assign design actions and catch fatal flaws early.

• You manage external civil consultants and hold them to a standard through IFC.

• You know grading, drainage, stormwater, utilities, and earthwork for large-format sites.

• You spot civil cost and constructability risk during site selection, not after.

• Bonus: PE license or active pursuit. Data center, industrial, or large-site development. Civil 3D. Multi-state permitting. Conversion and retrofit sites.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
