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 Logistics Team
Examples of key problems the team is working on
- •Decide what happens next to every piece of material before it leaves the dock. Every part is staged onsite, an hour out, or twelve hours out, and getting that call wrong stalls a build or burns money on space nobody needed. You will build the disposition strategy that makes that call for every material category, at every site.
- •Replace outsourced warehousing with a network we own. Fluidstack is exiting third-party logistics warehousing entirely and standing up its own facilities and processes in its place, at the pace the build requires.
- •Build the systems from scratch instead of inheriting someone else's. No commercial platform anticipates a gigawatt-scale, multi-site build, so you will help build and integrate the warehouse, inventory, and transportation management systems that run it, wired together instead of stitched with workarounds.

Role Scope
- •Design pick, pack, receiving, and RMA workflows for each site's warehouse layout, optimizing for travel distance, throughput, and dock-to-floor time.
- •Run time and motion studies on warehouse and dock processes, and use the data to set the standard work each site trains against.
- •Model rack, dock door, and staging layouts for new and existing sites, balancing throughput against real estate cost.
- •Build the process documentation and standard work instructions that let a new site ramp to full productivity in weeks, not months.
- •Partner with the WMS and IMS system build teams to make sure new tooling matches the physical workflow, not the other way around.
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 or re-designed a warehouse layout and can point to the throughput or cost improvement it produced.
- •You've run a time and motion study and turned it into a standard work instruction that a new hire could follow on day one.
- •You've modeled dock, rack, or staging capacity against real operational data, not rule-of-thumb assumptions.
- •You've partnered with a systems team to make sure new software matched a real physical process instead of forcing the process to bend to the software.
- •You get to a site, watch how work actually happens, and find the waste that nobody built a report to catch.
- •Bonus: Lean Six Sigma or industrial engineering background. Experience in data center, manufacturing, or high-throughput distribution environments. Familiarity with warehouse simulation or layout modeling tools.
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.
We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
