FluidStack is a neocloud infrastructure company that operates a marketplace for third-party GPUs and a network of GPU-focused data centers for AI compute.
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 DEPLOYMENT ENGINEERING TEAM Examples of key problems the team is working on - Turn 50GW+ of design into 50GW+ of built, running infrastructure. The Design team sets the blueprint. This team is where it survives contact with a live construction schedule and becomes a real site. - Close the gap between engineering-complete and operations-ready. A design that passes review still has to survive commissioning, integration, and energization, and that gap is where deployment work lives. - Make the tenth site faster and cleaner than the first. Every deployment feeds field learnings back into the standards, so a one-off fight at one site becomes a repeatable playbook at the next. - Hand off infrastructure that's reliable from the moment it goes live. AI compute workloads don't tolerate a shaky handover, so what this team commissions has to run right the day operations takes over. ROLE SCOPE - Own architectural conformance across active construction sites, verifying that building envelope, life-safety assemblies, and spatial layouts match approved specifications and closing deviations before they hit operations or permitting. - Drive AHJ and permitting execution at each deployment site, including inspections, code interpretation questions, and certificate of occupancy sequencing, to keep permitting on schedule. - Manage the architectural RFI and submittal process during active construction, coordinating with the engineer of record and contractors to resolve field conflicts without slowing the build. - Enforce FM Global envelope and life-safety compliance through contractor-driven field conditions, tracking and closing open items before substantial completion. - Own the architectural punch list at each site from substantial completion through final acceptance, and feed field observations back into prototype specifications and deployment standards. 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 https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/fluidstack/05c2e69c-42f9-4fcb-9cf0-a467aaf98f1c. - You hold a bachelor's degree in Architecture or a related field. - You've worked as an owner's representative or developer-side architect on data center or large-scale mission-critical construction, with on-site accountability through substantial completion and certificate of occupancy. - You know IBC, IFC, occupancy classification, egress requirements, and fire-rated assembly construction well enough to resolve code interpretation issues with AHJs in the field. - You've managed the RFI and submittal process on active construction sites, coordinating contractors, the engineer of record, and internal stakeholders under schedule pressure. - You've maintained FM Global envelope and life-safety compliance through contractor-driven changes during active construction. - You can travel extensively to deployment sites across multiple jurisdictions, 50 percent or more of the time. - Bonus: Licensed Architect (RA). Experience on hyperscale data center or large-scale industrial construction sites as an owner's representative. Familiarity with FM Global DS 1-28 and DS 1-29 roof and envelope standards. Proficiency in Procore, Bluebeam, or ACC for construction management and field documentation. Experience with modular or prefab construction programs and their deployment conformance challenges. Compensation: $200,000 - $250,000 per year, depending on experience, skills, qualifications, and location. Offers equity in the form of stock options. We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
