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 - 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 DATA CENTER OPERATIONS TEAM Examples of key problems the team is working on - Operate at the scale of a nation, not a building. Accelerating toward 10s to 100s of GWs by the end of the decade, more than the entire electricity consumption of many countries. You won't just run a data center; you'll run infrastructure the size of a G7. - Fly the plane while it's being built. Running flawless operations inside a live construction zone, adapting in real time and turning the pace of build-out into our advantage. You will redefine operational excellence. - Write the playbook, don't inherit it. Most operators step into someone else's system. Here you build one, leaving your fingerprints on how the whole company runs. As we scale 100x, you'll set the standards, shape the operating model, and grow the team by the thousands ROLE SCOPE - Own the network critical path for every site activation, from structured cabling and optics through switch and router delivery, circuit turn-up, and vendor integration, so network is never the reason a site goes live late. - Define the network readiness gates, acceptance criteria, and sign-offs that move a site from construction into production, and hold each one across the fleet rather than renegotiating them site by site. - Run the operating rhythm across network engineering, network operations, deployment, supply chain, and the colocation or construction partner, surfacing schedule risk weeks before it reaches the go-live date. - Drive network change and incident programs to closure, tracking corrective actions, recurrence patterns, and fleet-wide trends into the weekly and monthly reviews that decide what the org does next. - Hold OEMs, ODMs, and deployment partners to delivery commitments with measured performance data, including RMA and integration turnaround, so vendor problems surface as evidence rather than escalation. - Partner with the Principal Operations Engineer, Network, who sets the technical standard, and own whether that standard actually lands on schedule at every site. Travel 50%. 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 run network deployment or infrastructure delivery programs at scale, where a missed turn-up date cost capacity rather than a slipped status report. - You know networks well enough to hold engineers and vendors to a schedule credibly: structured cabling and optics, carrier circuit timelines, switch and router deployment, and what actually drives integration slip. - You've built activation or readiness frameworks from nothing, defining the gates and acceptance criteria yourself rather than running a process someone else designed. - You quarterback across engineering, deployment, supply chain, and external partners without owning any of them, and you're the person other teams call when a workstream is stuck. - You track corrective actions and vendor performance to closure in live reporting, not to initial assignment. - You write clearly enough to turn a tangled delivery problem into a decision and a next action for a site lead, an executive, or a counterparty who was not in the room. - Bonus: Hyperscale or large colocation network deployment (100k+ endpoint fabrics). Hardware supply chain and RMA program ownership (OEM, ODM, integrator). Program management credentials (PMP, PgMP). Tooling and scripting for fleet-scale tracking (Python, Jira or Smartsheet automation, custom dashboards). We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
