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.

The HSE Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on

• Own safety on gigawatts of high-energy infrastructure, built from zero. Headcount and sites are scaling faster than institutional knowledge can keep up. The gap between a control written on paper and one actually applied in the field is where fatalities happen.

• Keep a 24/7 workforce running at full intensity, not sidelined by injury. Fatigue, shift work, and high-energy exposure compound on the people running the sites and show up as injuries or claims if no one is tracking them. The work is to catch them first.

• Keep environmental compliance ahead of the fastest build in the industry. Behind-the-meter generation spans multiple states, each with its own air permit conditions, runtime limits, and reporting deadlines, and the company adds sites faster than any manual compliance model can keep up with.

Role Scope

• Own HSE across a leased campus another operator controls, where buildings in construction, commissioning, and live operation sit side by side.

• Review design and commissioning packages for the hazards they build in, and push engineering controls into the drawings before a crew has to work around them.

• Run hazardous energy control across the site's electrical distribution: switching plans, LOTO, and zero-energy verification as gear lands, tests, and energizes.

• Own workers compensation and case management at the site, from first report of injury through the carrier and TPA handoff, treatment, and fitness for duty, with transitional duty defined ahead of time so shift-based field crews come back on modified duty in days.

• Keep injury, illness, and environmental recordkeeping current so the OSHA 300, 300A, and 301 logs, the New York state filings, the stormwater and air permit records, and the claims and near-miss trend view all hold up on inspection and in front of leadership.

What We're Looking For

The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.

• You've run site safety on a data center or heavy industrial build where construction crews, commissioning, and energized systems shared one campus.

• You hold OSHA 30 Construction and current First Aid, CPR, and AED certification.

• You've reviewed design and commissioning packages and gotten an engineering control into the drawings instead of a procedure telling a crew to be careful.

• You've taken workers compensation claims from first report through closure, and you've worked adjusters, occupational physicians, and clinics hard enough to change how a claim went.

• You've built or run a return-to-work and transitional duty program that field supervisors actually used, and the return-to-work numbers moved because of it.

• You've owned OSHA 300, 300A, and 301 recordkeeping through an inspection or an audit where the logs held up.

• Bonus: Construction safety credentials (CHST, CSP, ASP). Professional engineering licensure (PE). Case and disability management credentials (CCM, CPDM, occupational health RN). New York construction and labor compliance (Industrial Code Rule 23, Labor Law 240 and 241). Claims and injury analytics tooling (Origami, Riskonnect, Intelex).

Physical Requirements

• Work in non-climate-controlled environments, including active construction areas, data halls, electrical and mechanical rooms, and outdoor spaces. Temperatures can be high or low, and conditions can be humid, loud or dusty.

• Lift, carry, push and pull up to 40 pounds on your own.

• Sit, stand, walk, kneel, bend and crouch for long periods, including full shifts on your feet.

• Wear the required personal protective equipment (PPE), such as hard hats, safety glasses, steel-toed boots, gloves and hearing protection, and follow site safety rules.

• Climb stairs and ladders, and move around equipment, cable trays and uneven surfaces.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
