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 environmental and civil engineering for data center site development: stormwater, grading and drainage, erosion control, and environmental constraints, from first site walk through permits in hand.
Drive environmental permitting (SWPPP and construction stormwater, wetlands and waters permits, land disturbance approvals) through agencies and consultants on schedules measured in weeks.
Screen prospective sites for fatal flaws (wetlands, floodplains, protected species habitat, contamination findings) before the company commits capital, and kill bad sites early.
Manage third-party civil and environmental consultants, holding deliverables to schedule and rejecting work that isn't permit-ready.
Coordinate civil design (grading, site utilities, roads, drainage) with structural and architectural scopes so site packages issue complete and build without rework.
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 taken industrial or large commercial sites through environmental permitting yourself: you wrote or directed the SWPPP, the delineations, and the applications, and agencies approved them.
You've screened raw land for development risk and made the call that saved a project from a fatal flaw.
You've worked directly with regulators (the Corps, state environmental agencies, county authorities) and secured approvals without slipping the schedule.
You've managed AE and environmental consultants and sent work back when it wasn't ready.
You read grading and drainage plans fluently and redline them with specifics, elevations and pipe sizes rather than general comments.
You've sequenced environmental compliance against construction speed, satisfying the permit while keeping the site moving.
Bonus: PE license (civil or environmental). Data center, solar, or heavy industrial site development. Multi-state permitting. Civil 3D or hydrology modeling tools. Karst, floodplain, or brownfield site experience.
We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
