Forward Deployed Engineer, Infrastructure Development & Delivery
Fluidstack · San Francisco, CA
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. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it. Fluidstack is 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. ## How We Operate - **Be a barrel:** Full autonomy. Own things end to end; take on scope without being asked. - **Insane urgency:** Drive everything forward as fast as possible. - **Reason from first principles:** Challenge every assumption; no egos—the best idea wins. - **Love of the game:** Long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward. - **Build something that actually matters:** Spend your time on work that matters to the world. ## The Decision Team (Examples of Key Problems) - **Automate the delivery of gigawatts:** Turn every process from land to live compute into software (schedules, decisions, and tasks generated from a live knowledge graph). - **Forward-deploy beside the experts:** Turn field judgment into systems that reach every unit. - **Deliver every supercomputer faster than the last:** Dozens of concurrent projects feed one graph so lessons learned become preventive checks everywhere. ## Role Scope - **Build the schedule that runs the portfolio:** One template schedule per building type, instantiated per project, with activities tied to consumed materials—so need-by dates fall out of the critical path instead of spreadsheets. - **Turn the site into structured data:** Work packages, contractor entries, rack placements, cable runs, and QA inspections as records tied to design revisions; compute percent complete from evidence. - **Ship change orders as a workflow:** Draft scope/cost/schedule impact from design deltas, route through legal/finance/general contractor with an approval trail, and update BOM + schedule immediately. - **Make the design the source of truth:** Ingest BIM models into BOM with reviewable diffs; generate submittal requirements per spec section; keep sites/buildings/data halls as one canonical record. - **Ship commissioning as software:** Generate test procedures per asset from design revisions; store results as evidence; energization gates that check themselves; handover based on proof. ## What We’re Looking For - Shipped production code in **Go, Python, or TypeScript** (and can pick up whatever language the problem demands). - Built real features on **LLM APIs** (OpenAI, Anthropic, or open-weight models), **MCP servers**, and agentic frameworks. - Works daily with AI coding tools like **Claude Code** and **Cursor**, and uses agents to do useful work autonomously. - Identifies problems, designs solutions, and ships without waiting for direction. - Moves fast under deadlines while leaving solid foundations others can extend. - Earns credibility with people who build physical things (construction leads, field engineers, schedulers, commissioning agents) and drives adoption inside real deadlines. - Strong product taste: interfaces field crews find obvious; workflows that match how work actually h
