Design Release Engineer Fluidstack · Austin · DevOps & Release –ago

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!

• 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 Modular team designs and builds factory-produced, serialized data center modules that ship as manufactured products, not construction projects.

Examples of key problems the team is working on:

• Turn first-of-a-kind modular data center designs into repeatable, serialized production builds without losing engineering intent between revisions.

• Keep design iteration fast while units at different build states move through the fab floor, in inventory, and at site simultaneously.

• Integrate power, cooling, and structural subsystems into a single releasable product definition that manufacturing, supply chain, and quality can all build against.

• Close the loop between as-designed, as-built, and as-maintained configurations so field units can be serviced and upgraded against accurate records.

• Own the release process from engineering to production: drawings, BOMs, and specs complete, approved, and released to manufacturing at the right revision, every time.

• Run configuration and change management: administer ECOs and ECNs, control revision history, and disposition changes across in-flight units, inventory, and supplier orders with serialized modules at different build states.

• Keep BOM integrity across systems: engineering and manufacturing BOMs accurate, the PLM system of record syncing cleanly to ERP and MES, and discrepancies between as-designed, as-built, and as-maintained resolved rather than logged.

• Gate release readiness: drawing checks, tolerance and spec completeness, long-lead procurement flags, and DFM feedback from the fab floor confirmed incorporated before anything releases.

• Drive release communication across design, supply chain, quality, and production: publish release schedules and change impacts so procurement and the shop floor never build to stale revisions.

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 owned release or configuration management for manufactured hardware: modules, vehicles, machinery, or similar serialized products.

• You’ve administered ECOs across live production and know how to disposition…
