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

• High 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 Development Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on

• Build toward 10GW and beyond. This is one of the largest power buildouts happening anywhere, and you'll secure the ground the entire thing sits on. Every gigawatt the company deploys starts with the land you lock.

• Get power online in months, not years. Years usually pass between locking land and delivering power. You'll own that whole stretch, acquisition through permitting, development, and delivery, and compress it so compute comes online sooner.

• Lock down the land that large-scale solar demands. Large-scale solar is our only path to tens of gigawatts and beyond, and land is the single biggest bottleneck to getting there. You'll find and lock contiguous tracts at a scale few people in the industry operate at.

Role Scope

• Lead the site procurement strategy for the US data center portfolio, sourcing and evaluating powered land for large-scale development and negotiating leases with data center operators.

• Conduct site due diligence: evaluate utility and behind-the-meter power at 200MW+ scale, and assess buildability through title docs, surveys, geotechnical reports, and environmental studies.

• Understand permitting requirements at each site and their implications for the construction schedule.

• Maintain relationships with brokers, landowners, and developers so a valid site is never missed, and run vendor due diligence including on-site audits with specialist engineers.

• Work directly with DC Design to keep sites matched to the latest technical requirements, and own capacity planning and forecasting across clients and regions.

• Partner with Finance on multi-year infrastructure investment and cost structures, and lead commercial negotiations with landowners and developers.

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 worked in real estate with a focus on data centers or other large industrial projects, and you've closed large, complex deals.

• You assess land viability for data center development fast and rigorously: power, buildability, and permitting.

• You bring a customer-centric mindset, strong ownership, and proactive problem-solving.

• You align stakeholders across diverse internal and external teams, and you'll travel 20%+ as projects require.

• Bonus: Behind-the-meter power evaluation. Hyperscale-scale land deals. Utility interconnection familiarity. Multi-region portfolio planning.

Salary & Benefits

• Competitive total compensation package (salary + equity).

• Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms.

• Health, dental, and vision insurance.

• Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms.

The base salary range for this position is $175,000 - $235,000 per year, depending on experience, skills, qualifications, and location.
