To provide greater transparency to candidates, we share base pay ranges for all US-based job postings. Our compensation package includes base salary, equity for all full time roles, benefits, and, for applicable roles, commissions plans.

This range reflects a good-faith estimate based on the applicable pay scale, the range previously established for this role, the compensation of individuals currently in equivalent positions, and/or the budgeted amount for the position. Actual compensation may vary based on experience, qualifications, and other factors.

Total compensation may also include equity in the form of restricted stock units.

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

• 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.

Role Scope

• Own rotating equipment for behind-the-meter generation: turbines, engines, and generators specified, evaluated, and integrated.
• Engineer the mechanical packages: skids, auxiliaries, vibration, and alignment requirements set by you.
• Run factory and site acceptance: witness tests, punch the packages, and hold vendors to their curves.
• Support the fleet: reliability issues on rotating equipment root-caused and engineered out.

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 engineered rotating equipment: gas turbines, recip engines, or large pumps and compressors.
• You've owned equipment specifications and vendor technical evaluations.
• You've witnessed factory acceptance tests and rejected what didn't perform.
• You read vibration data and know what it's telling you.
• You've root-caused rotating equipment failures in the field.
• Bonus: Gas turbine or recip package integration. API standards fluency. Condition monitoring systems. Power plant commissioning.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
