Network Deployment People Lead

About this role

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

- Extreme ownership. Full autonomy. Own things end to end often taking on scope outside your core role without being asked to get things done.

- Velocity. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.

- 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.

The Deployments Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on

- Turn empty data halls into serving GPUs in weeks. Deployment owns everything between construction handover and customer-ready compute: racks, fabric, and validation at hundreds of megawatts per site.

- Stand up gigawatts a year, hundreds of megawatts at a time. Data halls go from construction handover to serving GPUs in weeks, across multiple sites at once.

- Deploy 10GW with software, not headcount. Bring-up, validation, and handoff run on tooling the team builds, so the hundredth data hall deploys faster than the first instead of needing a hundred times the people.

Role Scope

- Lead the network deployment workforce: hire, grow, and run the engineers and technicians turning up fabrics site after site.

- Own team allocation across concurrent sites so every turn-up is staffed for its window.

- Build the onboarding pipeline that takes a network technician to hyperscale turn-up quality in days.

- Own on-call, travel rotation, and team health for a workforce that lives where the builds are.

What We're Looking For

- You've managed network deployment or field engineering teams at scale.

- You've staffed concurrent projects out of one shared team without burning it out.

- You've built onboarding that made new hires productive in days.

- Your people stay, and some have followed you between companies.

- Bonus: Hyperscale turn-ups. Contractor and FTE blending. Training program design. Deployment tooling fluency.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
