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

- Engineer the systems behind one of the world's largest compute buildouts. Everything runs as code, version-controlled and reproducible, so a new hire, team, or site spins up in minutes instead of days. You'll build internal infrastructure with real engineering rigor and keep it ahead of a company growing 10x.
- Solve multi-tenancy problems most IT engineers never touch. Fluidstack runs teams, sites, and customers in parallel, and the internal systems have to keep them cleanly separated and secure at speed. You'll own architecture problems usually reserved for product infrastructure, on the inside.
- Give every employee the speed it takes to reach 10s to 100s of GWs. The faster the company's people move, the faster we get there. You'll own the internal systems and support that keep a 10x workforce unblocked.

## Role Scope

- Provide reliable, hands-on IT support for in-office and remote employees, resolving tickets fast with excellent service.
- Support the MDM fleet across macOS, iOS, and Windows, and troubleshoot in-office network and A/V systems.
- Administer and improve Okta and core SaaS tooling: integrations, role-based access controls, and identity hygiene.
- Run procurement and asset management: coordinate hardware purchasing and track devices across their full lifecycle.
- Build simple, reliable automations that cut manual work, and write clear documentation for technical and non-technical audiences.
- Own onboarding and offboarding for employees and contractors, and support access reviews and basic identity security.

## 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 administered Okta (users, groups, app integrations) and managed MDM across macOS and Windows.
- You know Google Workspace well, with some Office 365 exposure, and you support macOS, iOS, and Windows devices.
- You build automations to replace manual work, and you reach for code or no-code tools to do it.
- You write clearly: documentation and knowledge-base content that both technical and non-technical people can use.
- You bring a security mindset to identity, access, and device management.
- Bonus: No-code/low-code automation (Okta Workflows, n8n, Zapier, Workato). Scripting (Bash, PowerShell, Python). SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST, or CIS exposure. AI tools, agents, and MCPs (Fluidstack standardizes on Claude). HRIS integrations (Deel, Rippling, Workday). API and webhook fluency.

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.

Total compensation may also include equity in the form of stock options.

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

## About Fluidstack

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Fluidstack builds and operates gigawatt-scale AI data centers and provides fully managed GPU cloud clusters for frontier AI labs, governments, and enterprises.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A stage; total funding of $11.0B)
- **Headquarters**: New York, New York, United States
- **Founded**: 2017
