## 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.

## About the Role

Fluidstack is looking for a Fixed Asset Accounting Lead to own and scale our fixed asset function as we grow rapidly across global data center infrastructure. In this senior individual contributor / people manager role, you will be responsible for the end-to-end fixed asset lifecycle — from capitalization policy and CIP tracking through depreciation, disposals, and impairment — across a large and growing portfolio of GPU servers, networking equipment, and data center buildouts. You will partner closely with FP&A, Tax, Engineering, and Operations to ensure asset records are accurate, audit-ready, and aligned with both US GAAP and IFRS requirements. This is a high-impact role at the heart of FluidStack's IPO readiness journey.

Basic Qualifications:

- 7+ years of fixed asset or property accounting experience, with at least 2 years in a lead or senior manager capacity
- Deep technical knowledge of ASC 360 (Property, Plant & Equipment), capitalization vs. expensing judgments, CIP accounting, and depreciation methodologies
- Experience managing fixed asset subledgers at scale (NetSuite or similar ERP), including reconciliation to the general ledger
- Strong understanding of month-end close processes and the ability to own the fixed asset close independently
- Experience working in a high-growth technology, data center, or capital-intensive industry

Preferred Qualifications:

- CPA license or equivalent professional accounting qualification
- Exposure to PCAOB audit environments and S-1 / IPO readiness processes
- Familiarity with IFRS 16 (lease accounting) and the intersection with owned vs. leased asset classification
- Experience building or overhauling fixed asset policies and procedures from the ground up
- Prior work with complex multi-entity, multi-currency asset portfolios across international jurisdictions

Salary & Benefits

- Competitive total compensation package (salary + equity).
- Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms.
- Health, dental, and vision insurance.
- Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency. Fluidstack is an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer.

- **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).

- **Tier-1 Customer Base**: Trusted by the world’s most ambitious AI labs (Anthropic, poolside), providing both credibility and a feedback loop for product improvement.
- **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.

## Why Work Here
