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 OperateHigh ownership. 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.

You'll be the face of Fluidstack in state capitols and beyond, building the relationships that move projects forward and heading off opposition before it can stall them.Keep the build moving by winning the state and county it lands in. Every data center sits in a community that lives with it for decades, and a project closes on time or stalls in council chambers depending on whether that trust was earned. You'll own that trust before the first shovel hits the ground.Role ScopeOwn Fluidstack's state and local policy agenda across AI infrastructure, tax incentives, utilities, resource use, and more.Draft and deliver policy materials independently: testimony, regulatory comments, briefing documents, and coalition communications that land with both technical and political audiences.Build and maintain strong relationships with state congressional leaders, governor’s offices, state and local regulators, and advocacy groups to ensure Fluidstack’s value proposition and perspective are communicated clearly and consistently.
