Powered Land Acquisition

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.

Role Scope

• Source and lock powered land and brownfield sites that can deliver hundreds of megawatts to gigawatts of capacity, ahead of the build pipeline.

• Negotiate land purchase, lease, and option agreements with landowners, developers, and utilities who don't share our timeline.

• Diligence power availability, interconnection queue position, substation proximity, and deliverability before a site advances past LOI.

• Build and manage a pipeline of powered-land opportunities across multiple regions, and kill weak sites fast so capital and attention go to the ones that pencil.

• Hand off secured sites to development and construction with clean title, a proven power path, and complete diligence so no surprise stalls mobilization.

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 personally sourced and closed land or site acquisitions where getting power to the site was the constraint that made or broke the deal.

• You've negotiated purchase, lease, and option agreements directly with landowners, developers, and utilities.

• You've read an interconnection queue, a utility capacity map, or a substation study and known whether a site could actually get power and when.

• You've run land diligence end to end across title, zoning, environmental, and power path, and caught the problem that would have killed the deal after signing.

• You've managed a multi-site pipeline and walked away from sites that didn't pencil without sinking months into them first.

• You move fast against counterparties who don't, and you've closed a site while a competitor was still scheduling the first call.

• Bonus: Datacenter, industrial, or large-scale energy site acquisition. Utility interconnection and power markets. Brownfield or greenfield development. Title, entitlement, and land-use diligence.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
