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 Supply Chain Team Examples of key problems the team is working on - Supply 10GW of compute, the largest build out of compute in history. Qualify and dual-source across every critical equipment category, with lead-time and capacity thresholds tied directly to the forward build pipeline. - Make supply chain the reason we build faster than anyone. Our modular build redefines speed in this industry, and it lives or dies on supply chain. Keep procurement permanently off the critical path so schedule compression stays our advantage, not our constraint. - Build the most accurate supply chain prediction modelling that exists. Use the frontier of AI to forecast lead times, demand, and disruption with a precision the industry has never had, and turn that foresight into a structural edge. Role Scope - Own the global sourcing strategy for batteries, solar PV panels, and inverters: from supplier identification and qualification through contract execution and delivery against construction timelines. - Negotiate long-term supply agreements with tier-1 manufacturers across batteries, solar, and power electronics, covering volume pricing, payment terms, warranty provisions, and delivery SLAs. - Build and maintain should-cost models for all three product categories, tracking lithium, silicon, and copper commodity pricing and adjusting sourcing strategy ahead of market moves. - Run supplier business reviews and hold partners accountable to quality standards, financial health thresholds, and geopolitical risk criteria, with dual-source coverage across critical categories. - Partner with Engineering, Project Management, Finance, Legal, and the sustainability team to keep procurement timelines locked to construction schedules and ESG supplier criteria applied consistently. - Coordinate with logistics and customs teams to manage cross-border shipments, lead time buffers, and import compliance across suppliers in China, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. 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've personally negotiated and closed large-scale supply agreements with tier-1 energy hardware manufacturers, covering batteries, solar PV, or inverters, and you can point to the commercial terms you moved. - You understand BESS, solar PV systems, and power electronics well enough to challenge a supplier's spec, catch a cost model that doesn't add up, and hold your own in a technical negotiation. - You've managed global supply chains with suppliers across China, South Korea, or Southeast Asia, including Incoterms selection, cross-border logistics, and import compliance, without losing schedule. - You've built should-cost models from scratch and used them to drive supplier negotiations, not just to report cost after the fact. - You catch supply risk before it lands on the schedule: financial health flags, capacity constraints, geopolitical exposure, and single-source dependencies are things you track continuously, not reactively. - Bonus: Data center, utility-scale, or large-scale industrial infrastructure sourcing. IEC and UL certification requirements for energy storage and solar equipment. ERP fluency (SAP, Oracle, or equivalent). CIPS, CSCP, or equivalent procurement certification. Engineering, Supply Chain, or Business degree. SALARY & BENEFITS - Competitive total compensation package (salary + equity). - Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms. - Health, dental, and vision insurance. - Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms. The base salary range for this position is $220,000 - $290,000 per year, depending on experience, skills, qualifications, and location. This range represents our good faith estimate of the compensation for this role at the time of posting. Total compensation may also include equity in the form of stock options.
