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.
About the Role
As a Technical Program Manager for Deployments, you will own the end-to-end program delivery required to bring data center infrastructure and AI clusters online. You will operate in a highly ambiguous environment, coordinating across construction, infrastructure, networking, systems engineering, procurement, and operations teams to ensure deployment readiness and successful go-lives.
This role requires an ownership mindset. You will be expected to move programs forward with sometimes incomplete information, surface and resolve gaps, and ensure progress across teams responsible for construction, networking, hardware, operations, and beyond. While physical installation and construction execution are owned by partner teams, you are accountable for overall delivery outcomes and are expected to fill gaps before they become blockers.
The best candidates for this role bring deep experience in the intersection of data center construction handover and AI/GPU hardware deployment, not just one or the other. You know how construction sequences impact infrastructure readiness, how ICT and CDU work intersect, and how to hold multiple workstreams accountable across time zones and organizational boundaries.
Focus
•
Own program delivery for data hall and AI cluster activation, from planning through operational handoff
•
Coordinate cross-functional teams responsible for construction, infrastructure, network, hardware, ICT, commissioning, and operations execution
•
Translate hyperscale AI/GPU and DLC infrastructure requirements into actionable deployment plans
•
Anticipate downstream impacts of technical sequencing decisions on capacity, schedule, and cluster performance
•
Drive alignment across teams operating at different speeds, scopes, and time zones – including vendor and contractor partners
•
Manage and hold accountable vendors, integration contractors, and third-party service providers across the deployment lifecycle.
•
Operate effectively in ambiguity, making progress with incomplete information and evolving requirements
•
Develop and drive executive-level program status briefings that clearly communicate schedule health, risks, key decisions, and escalations paths
•
Maintain clear, current program artifacts: schedules, RACI matrices, risk registers, decision logs, and deployment runbooks
•
Maintain momentum through changing requirements, tight timelines, and cross-time-zone execution
•
Collaborate closely with SMEs in networking, ICT, commissioning, systems engineerings, product, procurement, operations, and more before execution – not in isolation.
•
Identify and drive process improvements that scale across concurrent builds and future deployments
Must Haves
•
5+ years experience in delivering complex data center physical infrastructure programs in fast-moving environments
•
Strong understanding of AI/GPU infrastructure, including power density, cooling, networking, and deployment sequencing
•
Demonstrated experience bridging construction handover and cluster deployment: candidates who are network only or construction only will not be a fit
•
Familiarity with how construction, low-voltage, and commissioning activities impact deployment readiness and sequencing
•
Proven ability to lead through influence rather than direct ownership of execution teams
•
Proven ability to manage vendor and contractor relationships, understanding schedule and reputational risks
•
Experience delivering programs across multiple concurrent sites or regions, including planning for staggered milestones
•
Able to develop and present executive-level program status, risk summaries, and key decisions to senior leadership and cross-functional stakeholders
•
Experience with long-lead procurement processes, and hardware supply chain constraints that affect deployment timelines
•
Actively collaborate with SMEs across multiple domains to validate plans and resolve gaps
•
Comfortable operating with limited process and evolving inputs in a high-growth, intense environment
•
Demonstrated ability to take initiative, fill gaps, and drive execution beyond defined scope, without being directed to do so
•
Able to balance strategic thinking with hands-on program management
•
Comfortable operating outside standard business to meet deployment timelines
•
Excellent communication and stakeholder alignment skills – able to ensure teams at all levels understand priorities and dependencies
•
Strong execution mindset with the ability to balance speed, quality, and risk
•
Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with a data-driven approach to decision making
•
Automation-first mindset with commitment to identifying and implementing process improvements
•
You are willing and able to travel to data center locations, sometimes on short notice; expect to spend up to 60% of your time traveling
Nice To Haves
•
DCD, PMP, CDCPM, CDCMP, CDCP or DCDC Certification(s)
•
ITIL Foundation Certification
•
JIRA, Smartsheet, or similar project tracking and workflow management experience
•
Knowledge of infrastructure automation and deployment tools
•
Experience managing BPO or contract labor pools during large-scale hardware deployment phases
•
Background in material coordination or logistics management at scale during active deployment (receiving, cycle counting, site-to-site transfers)
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
