Solar Lead

Overview

Fluidstack is building frontier compute infrastructure and seeks a senior engineer to lead solar strategy and deployment across our U.S. data center portfolio.

• Own solar strategy and deployment, including commercial relationships with solar developers, suppliers and behind‑the‑meter partners across every active U.S. data center market.
• Negotiate solar PPAs, behind‑the‑meter offtake agreements and retail power arrangements, structuring terms that create fungible capacity options and running scenario analyses to extend the shelf life of existing agreements or accelerate delivery of new ones.
• Shape solar energy outcomes by engaging in interconnection processes, state and federal regulatory proceedings, and policy engagements that affect behind‑the‑meter generation timelines and economics.
• Partner with the site acquisition team to assess solar resource quality, supply chain constraints and behind‑the‑meter generation potential before lease commitments.
• Quarterback solar work streams across design, construction, finance and grid operations, distilling market, regulatory and technology developments into clear decisions for leadership.

• Find enough land to deploy multiple gigawatts a week and secure sites at a pace and scale unmatched in the industry.
• Get power online in months, not years, optimizing pre‑signature work so a site goes from signed lease to live power in under six months.
• Acquire 10s to 100s of GWs behind the meter by generating on‑site instead of waiting on grid interconnection.

• Experience managing large‑scale infrastructure or data center projects with many concurrent sites.
• Built program tracking processes, systems and reporting pipelines from scratch that leaders use for decision‑making.
• Quarterback across construction, utilities, legal, finance and operations, called when milestones are at risk.
• Owned stage‑gate or milestone frameworks that coordinate handoffs between site selection, engineering, permitting and operations.
• Identify schedule risk and cost exposure weeks before they surface, and know the right people to call to fix them.
• Communicate clearly enough to give a CEO or external developer a crisp summary of a gigawatt‑scale portfolio in five minutes.
• Bonus:
  Experience with data center shell or leased capacity deal structures, utility interconnection and power market dynamics, AI infrastructure constraints and scheduling, or portfolio‑level tooling built on spreadsheets.

• 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.
• Compensation range: $244K – $329K.
