## Job description

## 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 Accounting Team Examples of key problems the team is working on

- Build the financial infrastructure from the ground up (NetSuite, Zip, Shareworks, Pigment).
- Stand up a lean finance org for the fastest-growing data center hyperscaler.
- Own the full stack from vendor invoice to cap table.

## Role Scope

- Own the general ledger function end to end, overseeing journal entries, account reconciliations, and monthly financial statement preparation as the entity structure grows.
- Lead month-end and year-end close, setting the calendar and holding FP&A, Tax, and Operations to it so the books close on time every cycle.
- Partner directly with finance leadership and external auditors to keep internal controls tight and the company audit-ready.
- Build and refine accounting processes and controls as Fluidstack scales, replacing manual workarounds before they become the bottleneck.

## 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](https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/fluidstack/05c2e69c-42f9-4fcb-9cf0-a467aaf98f1c).

- You've owned the general ledger function for a company, journal entries, reconciliations, and monthly financials, without a controller reviewing every entry first.
- You've led month-end or year-end close yourself, holding FP&A, Tax, and cross-functional partners to a calendar instead of chasing them after the fact.
- You know US GAAP well enough to make the accrual, cutoff, and capitalization calls yourself, and you can explain them clearly to an auditor.
- You've found a broken accounting process midstream and rebuilt it before it slowed down the close.
- You work inside NetSuite daily and you're fast and accurate in Excel for anything the system can't handle.
- You've supported or led an ERP or accounting system implementation, migration, or upgrade, doing hands-on configuration and testing yourself.
- You run multiple close cycles, audits, and process changes at once without dropping one when another gets hard.
- You hold a CPA license or an equivalent professional accounting qualification.
- Bonus: Multi-entity and multi-currency accounting experience. Experience at a high-growth technology or infrastructure company. Direct experience supporting external audits and liaising with auditors. Exposure to intercompany accounting and consolidations.

- **Target Customers**: Leading AI labs (e.g., Anthropic, poolside), governments, and large enterprises requiring massive-scale compute for training and inference.
- **Mission Statement**: "We exist to make humanity more free... Powerful AI will be the biggest lever for human choice we've ever built — but only if models are aligned with that objective."

## Products & Services
- **Fully Managed GPU Clusters**: Multi-thousand GPU clusters delivered with zero setup, fully managed (no node touching by the customer), with 15-minute engineering response SLAs and built-in monitoring and remediation. Purpose-built for AI workloads.
- **Custom Data Centers**: Design, build, and operate greenfield data centers from the ground up, delivering gigawatts of compute in 6 months versus the industry standard of 18-24 months. Includes power acquisition, site selection, and civil/electrical/mechanical engineering.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed.
- **Total Funding**: $11.0 billion (across 14 rounds). Key rounds include a $750M venture round (March 2026) and a $200M Series A led by Cacti (February 2025).
- **Key Metric**: $11.0B in total funding; leading the deployment of Anthropic’s $50B compute buildout, one of the largest infrastructure projects in US history.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Cacti (lead investor), Anthropic (customer/partner), poolside (customer).

- **Purpose-Built Platform**: Not general-purpose cloud; their platform is specifically optimized for AI researchers, removing all infrastructure friction (no K8s configs, no bare metal management).

## Strategic Focus
- **Massive Scale Buildout**: Deploying Anthropic’s $50B data center project across New York and Texas, representing one of the largest infrastructure projects in US history.
- **Global Expansion**: Expanding operations across 8 countries and multiple US states, with a heavy focus on data center site acquisition, power generation, and modular design.
- **Talent Acquisition**: Aggressively hiring across engineering, construction, operations, security, and project management roles to support hypergrowth.
