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.

Role Scope

Lead design management across the build portfolio: every site's design deliverables, consultants, and review cycles under one operating model.

Set the design schedule per site and hold architect and engineer of record firms to it, escalating slips while recovery is cheap.

Run the design review machine so packages clear constructability, cost, and reference-design conformance in one pass.

Own the interface between design and the field: RFI trends feed design fixes, not just answers.

We're Looking For

You've led design management on large industrial or mission critical programs with multiple firms in flight.
You've held design firms to schedules they called aggressive, and they delivered.
You read across disciplines well enough to catch the cross-discipline gaps single-discipline reviewers miss.
You've built review processes that made packages better and faster at the same time.
Bonus: Data center design programs. Owner-side design management. Modular and DfMA delivery. BIM-based review workflows.
