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

  • 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 Commercial Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on

  • We will be the fastest GW deal makers on the planet.

  • We will sign 50+ GW of deals by the end of the decade.

  • Lead the process from LOI signed to site mobilization.

Role Scope

  • Own how Fluidstack negotiates its deals and runs the commercial process behind them, getting the best terms while keeping the process tight and fast.

  • Own the deal lifecycle end to end, from kickoff through signature and handoff to delivery.

  • Build and maintain deal tracking, documentation standards, and workflows so nothing slips.

  • Create stage gates, readiness checklists, and escalation paths that make the process repeatable.

  • Work with legal to drive contracts to signature on aggressive timelines, and support commercial negotiations across the deal portfolio.

  • Report deal status and pipeline health to leadership clearly and concisely.

  • You communicate clearly and directly with leadership, legal, internal teams, and external counterparts.
