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 weve ever built - but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants. There are groups building AI who dont share these goals. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it.

Were 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 50GW 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 the civil engineering workstream across a multi-site development portfolio from site screening through permitting and construction completion.

• Lead civil due diligence for greenfield and conversion sites: topography drainage utilities soils floodplain and environmental constraints flagging fatal flaws and cost risks during site selection.

• Develop and maintain the civil basis of design master specs and standard drawings and establish grading strategies earthwork balance and cut/fill sequences for large campus developments.

• Structure phased delivery with early work packages (mass grading site utilities enablement) to accelerate the critical path.

• Lead civil permitting strategy across jurisdictions: land disturbance NPDES/SWPPP floodplain (CLOMR/LOMR) environmental and utility permits.

• Manage external civil consultants from schematic through IFC and coordinate civil scope with structural MEP fiber and architectural teams.

What Were Looking For

The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people so if you dont fit this role exactly tell us where you would.

• Youve owned civil engineering on large-scale site development (data centers industrial logistics or power infrastructure) ideally owner/developer-side.

• Youve directed external civil consultants and managed design deliverable quality through IFC.

• You know grading earthwork stormwater and site utility design cold plus NPDES and floodplain (FEMA/CLOMR/LOMR) permitting.

• Youve identified civil fatal flaws and quantified cost risk during site selection not just executed design after the site was chosen.

• Youve coordinated geotechnical investigations and interpreted boring programs into design actions.

• Bonus: PE license. Hyperscale or energy infrastructure development. Expansive clay karst or high water table conditions. MISO/utility interconnection civil coordination. AutoCAD Civil 3D and GIS.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
