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.

• 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.

Examples of key problems the team is working on

• Deploy AI across the entire funnel: sourcing, screening, scheduling, and analysis run on AI, so a small team moves like a large one.
• Treat talent as the critical path: every team's ability to hit its goals is gated on hiring, so recruiting is the constraint the whole company watches.
• Build a brand the best want to join: make Fluidstack a place exceptional people seek out, not one they have to be convinced about.

• Build Fluidstack's early careers function from zero: own the strategy, stand up the infrastructure, and run full-cycle recruiting for intern and new graduate roles across technical and non-technical teams.
• Design and execute a university recruiting strategy by identifying the highest-signal target schools, building relationships with faculty and student organizations, and establishing Fluidstack's brand on the campuses where the most ambitious early-career talent concentrates.
• Co-design internship and new graduate programs with TA, Compensation, and TA Ops, then own adoption end to end: getting programs embedded and running across the business, not just built and handed off.
• Plan and execute on-campus and virtual recruiting events with a focus on early engagement, education, and brand, making Fluidstack a name the most ambitious students seek out before we ever post a req.
• Screen early-career candidates at a high bar: assess intellectual horsepower, mission alignment, and potential, not credentials, and make long-term bets with the judgment to back them.
• Track pipeline health, conversion rates, offer acceptance, and source quality across programs, and use that data to sharpen strategy and report results to leadership.
• Build the hiring infrastructure, rubrics, evaluation frameworks, and program playbooks, that creates a sustainable early talent funnel as Fluidstack scales.

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 built or materially scaled a university recruiting program and can point to specific outcomes: schools entered, pipelines built, conversion rates improved.
• You think in programs, not reqs: you design for the long term, building…
