IT Engineer, Data Center

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 GW 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.

Role Scope

• Build and run the on‑site IT infrastructure at gigawatt‑scale data‑center campuses, from corporate network and Wi‑Fi to badge systems, conference rooms, and edge compute, so a new site is operational the day the first team arrives.
• Automate provisioning of endpoints, identity, and access across a workforce growing 10×, so device setup and off‑boarding run as version‑controlled code rather than manual tickets.
• Own the multi‑site IT stack that keeps teams, contractors, and customers cleanly separated and secure, coordinating with the security team on access controls and network segmentation.
• Stand up repeatable IT deployment runbooks for each new campus so the tenth site comes online faster and cleaner than the first.
• Resolve on‑site incidents and unblock field and construction teams directly, closing the gap between a reported issue and a working system in hours, not days.

What We’re Looking For

• You've built and run IT infrastructure across multiple physical sites, standing up networks, identity, and endpoint management from nothing rather than inheriting a mature environment.
• You've automated IT operations with code (scripting, infrastructure‑as‑code, MDM policy as code) so that a task done twice by hand became software.
• You've owned identity and access management (SSO, SCIM, directory services) for a fast‑growing organization without letting access sprawl or off‑boarding gaps accumulate.
• You've been the person field, construction, or operations teams call when systems are down on site, and you've resolved incidents under time pressure with people waiting on you.
• You've designed multi‑tenant or segmented network environments that kept separate teams, sites, or customers secure without slowing anyone down.
• You write documentation and runbooks clear enough that the next engineer can stand up a site without asking you how.

Bonus Qualifications

• Data center or industrial site IT experience.
• Hands‑on networking (BGP, VLANs, firewalls) at scale.
• Okta, Jamf, or Intune administration.
• Security or compliance framework exposure (SOC 2, ISO 27001).
