Job description

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.

Role Scope

  • - Design and deploy the SCADA architecture that monitors and controls power, cooling, and mechanical systems across gigawatt-scale data center sites in real time.

  • - Integrate telemetry from switchgear, generators, chillers, and building management systems into a unified data platform so operators see the full state of a site from a single view.

  • - Build the tag databases, HMI screens, and alarm logic that let a lean operations team run live sites without missing a fault.

  • - Standardize the SCADA and telemetry stack into a repeatable reference design so each new site deploys the same instrumentation and data model rather than a bespoke build.

  • - Validate every point and signal with the controls, commissioning, and operations teams before a site goes live, so the data operators depend on is trustworthy from day one.

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 designed and commissioned SCADA or industrial control systems for critical facilities, mission-critical, industrial, or power infrastructure.

  • - You've integrated field devices and protocols (Modbus, BACnet, DNP3, OPC UA) into a working telemetry platform rather than a pile of disconnected points.

  • - You've built HMI and alarm systems that operators actually trusted and used under real fault conditions.

  • - You've standardized a controls or telemetry design so it could be deployed repeatably across multiple sites instead of rebuilt each time.

  • - You've caught instrumentation and data-quality problems during commissioning before they reached a live operations team.

  • - You write configuration and point documentation precise enough that another engineer can maintain or extend the system without reverse-engineering it.

  • - Bonus: Data center or high-density power environment experience. Ignition, AVEVA, or comparable SCADA platforms. Time-series data pipelines and historians. Level 4 and Level 5 commissioning exposure.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
