Requirements
  • You've commissioned mechanical or HVAC systems on data centers or industrial plants.
  • You execute functional tests rigorously and document what actually happened.
  • You read trend data and find the story in it.
  • You've caught design errors during commissioning and made sure they got fixed upstream.
  • You work clean in live environments.
Responsibilities
  • Commission the mechanical systems of first units: cooling plants, distribution, and heat rejection verified to design.
  • Execute and improve the scripts: functional tests run, gaps found, and the reference package fixed.
  • Analyze the data: trends and test results reconciled against the thermal model.
  • Support the factory: mechanical FAT processes for modules before they ship.
Desired Qualifications
  • Bonus: Liquid cooling commissioning. Test and balance interface. FAT development. Commissioning software platforms.

FluidStack provides GPU-based cloud infrastructure for artificial intelligence workloads, delivering large-scale Nvidia GPU clusters through a neocloud model. The platform offers automated provisioning and a centralized orchestration layer that hides hardware complexity, with native support for Kubernetes and Slurm and proprietary monitoring to track power usage and hardware health. It targets AI labs, research institutions, and enterprise tech teams that need scalable, pay-as-you-go access to high-performance compute without owning data centers. The company's goal is to make it easy for organizations to train, develop, and deploy complex machine learning models by providing reliable, scalable GPU resources on demand.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • A $50B master agreement with Anthropic secures custom data center construction in Texas and New York starting 2026[2][3].
  • FluidStack targets an $18B valuation after raising $1B in a Jane Street-led round, doubling its December 2025 $7.5B valuation[1][4].
  • Google backs $1.8B of lease obligations and funds a $5.7B Indiana 430MW campus via a Coatue joint venture[1][3].

What critics are saying

  • $10B GPU-collateralized Macquarie debt triggers margin calls if GPU prices drop 45–65% within 12–18 months[1].
  • Anthropic concentration risk exposes $8.7B+ revenue shortfall if training delays or hyperscaler pivots occur within 18–24 months[1].
  • Google's $1.8B–$3.2B backstop enables lease termination on SLA failures, instantly removing $5.7B Indiana revenue within 12–15 months[1].

What makes FluidStack unique

  • FluidStack builds purpose-built AI data centers delivering gigawatts of compute in six months versus 18–24 months industry standard[6][5].
  • The company offers 62% private cloud with direct GPU ownership, generating higher margins than asset-light marketplace aggregation[8].
  • FluidStack provides native Kubernetes and Slurm integration with proprietary monitoring for real-time power and hardware health visibility[1].

UK data centre startup Fluidstack raises $750M, hits $7B valuation for US AI expansion

Fluidstack, a London-founded data centre startup, has been valued at $7 billion after raising over $750 million in funding. The company, established in 2017 by Gary Wu, Cesar Maklary and James Cox, is building AI infrastructure across America. The startup relocated its headquarters from London to New York in December to focus on US customers, creating over 1,000 jobs. New investors include Situational Awareness, an AI hedge fund founded by former OpenAI employee Leopold Aschenbrenner. Fluidstack is backed by Google, which has provided a $1.8 billion backstop to the company's data centre lease obligations and is reportedly in talks for an equity stake. The company is also working with Anthropic to build up to $50 billion of AI data facilities across New York and Texas.

Fluidstack scraps $11.5B French data center for US expansion backed by $50B Anthropic deal

Fluidstack has abandoned an $11.5 billion data centre project in northern France to focus on US expansion, according to Bloomberg. The operator is relocating its global headquarters from the UK to New York and exited a secondary facility near Paris used by Mistral. The move could prove beneficial for Bitcoin miners partnering with Fluidstack. Hut 8, TeraWulf and Cipher Mining have signed deals with the firm over the past six months. Hut 8's 15-year agreement to build a 245-megawatt Louisiana site with Fluidstack and Anthropic generates $7 billion in revenue, potentially rising to $17.7 billion with expansion clauses. Fluidstack's US expansion includes a $50 billion master agreement with Anthropic to operate compute clusters across New York, Texas and other states.
