About the role
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.
THE ONTOLOGY TEAM
Examples of key problems the team is working on
- Reduce the latency from something happening to Fluidstack knowing about it. Index operational systems, documents, conversations, and telemetry as they change, so a delayed shipment or a rack coming online becomes usable context while there is still time to act.
- Give every entity in Fluidstack's domain a shared identity. Connect a machine’s design, order, delivery, deployment, and incidents even when each system describes it differently.
- Turn what Fluidstack knows into business signals. Compare plans with observations across sites, supply chains, and compute operations, and surface the gaps that matter as the company builds at gigawatt scale.
- Build a secure platform where agents can be first-class citizens. Give agents access within each user’s permissions, with every answer traceable to its sources, freshness, and gaps in the evidence.
ROLE SCOPE
- Build the internal data platform that turns updates from procurement, construction, compute operations, documents, and conversations into fresh, queryable context for Fluidstack teams and agents.
- Make new sources straightforward to add, including vendor records, PDFs, spreadsheets, and exports, while keeping a clear path from structured data back to its original evidence.
