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
  • Engineer the mechanical systems in the reference design: cooling distribution, piping, and heat rejection for modular units.

  • Run the calcs: hydraulics, heat transfer, and equipment sizing owned end to end.

  • Develop vendor packages: CDUs, pumps, and dry coolers specified, evaluated, and integrated.

  • Support prototypes and first builds: test data reconciled against design.

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 mechanical or HVAC systems for data centers or industrial plants.

  • Your hydraulic and thermal calcs are yours, not the vendor's.

  • You've specified and integrated major cooling equipment.

  • You've validated designs against commissioning or test data.

  • You draw clean P&IDs and mean them.

  • Bonus: Liquid and direct-to-chip cooling. Revit or plant CAD. ASHRAE datacom depth. Field commissioning exposure.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
