About The Position

Fluidstack is seeking individuals to join their mission of making humanity more free by deploying frontier compute infrastructure for AI at unprecedented speed and scale. The company is focused on delivering gigawatts of compute power by acquiring power, designing and building data centers, and operating them. They are looking for people who are deeply committed to this problem space and operate with extreme ownership, velocity, first principles, and a passion for the work. This role is critical in ensuring Fluidstack can acquire the necessary land and power resources ahead of their build pipeline. The ideal candidate will be adept at sourcing and securing large-scale powered land sites, negotiating complex agreements, and conducting thorough diligence to ensure power availability and deliverability. Speed and scale are key differentiators for Fluidstack, and this role directly contributes to achieving those goals by securing the foundational infrastructure for AI development.

Requirements

You've personally sourced and closed land or site acquisitions where getting power to the site was the constraint that made or broke the deal.
You've negotiated purchase, lease, and option agreements directly with landowners, developers, and utilities.
You've read an interconnection queue, a utility capacity map, or a substation study and known whether a site could actually get power and when.
You've run land diligence end to end across title, zoning, environmental, and power path, and caught the problem that would have killed the deal after signing.
You've managed a multi-site pipeline and walked away from sites that didn't pencil without sinking months into them first.
You move fast against counterparties who don't, and you've closed a site while a competitor was still scheduling the first call.

Nice To Haves

Datacenter, industrial, or large-scale energy site acquisition.
Utility interconnection and power markets.
Brownfield or greenfield development.
Title, entitlement, and land-use diligence.

Responsibilities

Source and lock powered land and brownfield sites that can deliver hundreds of megawatts to gigawatts of capacity, ahead of the build pipeline.
Negotiate land purchase, lease, and option agreements with landowners, developers, and utilities who don't share our timeline.
Diligence power availability, interconnection queue position, substation proximity, and deliverability before a site advances past LOI.
Build and manage a pipeline of powered-land opportunities across multiple regions, and kill weak sites fast so capital and attention go to the ones that pencil.
Hand off secured sites to development and construction with clean title, a proven power path, and complete diligence so no surprise stalls mobilization.
