Site Reliability Engineer, Compute

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!

Role Scope

Own compute fleet health end to end. Build the metrics pipelines, alerting, and unified health view that tell you the true state of every GPU in production — across Kubernetes-orchestrated workloads and bare metal, at scale.

• Build and own the automation that takes a compute failure from detection through triage, parts management, and return to service. No one-off scripts, no heroics.
• Design and expand the GPU qualification platform. Burn-in, performance baselining, and NPI execution for every new GPU generation. You define what "good" looks like before hardware goes into production.
• Own Redfish and BMC tooling. Firmware-level telemetry, log collection at fleet scale, and the low-level access layer that repair automation and health tooling depend on.
• Own end-to-end reliability, scalability, and operation of the compute fleet at-scale.

What We're Looking For

• You treat toil as a bug. Manual steps in a repair workflow are a backlog item, not a job description.
• You have an instinct for hardware. You're comfortable reasoning about failure modes at the firmware and silicon level, not just the software stack above it.
• You move toward ambiguity, not away from it. You walk into the fog, build the map, and explain it to everyone else.
• You learn at a steep slope. You reach real competence in an unfamiliar domain fast. We value this over existing expertise.
• You carry a pager without flinching. You run the incident, write the postmortem, fix the systemic cause, and move on.
• You're fluent with AI tooling. LLM APIs, MCP servers, and agentic frameworks, and you drive Claude Code, Cursor, or similar every day.
• You've shipped production automation that other teams depend on, and you're comfortable in any language using AI coding tools.

Bonus: Hardware lifecycle management and RMA automation. BMC/Redfish or IPMI tooling. GPU qualification or burn-in frameworks. Workflow and orchestration engines (Temporal, Cadence). Metrics and alerting pipelines (Prometheus, Grafana). Go or Python...
