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
  • High 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. 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 that frontier forward.

The Public Affairs Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on

  • Shape the policy and regulations that make or break the industry. State and local rules on power, land, and permitting can open a market or close it. You'll track legislation and regulatory shifts, brief leadership on political risk, and work to shape outcomes in our favor before they turn into blockers.

  • Turn neighbors and officials into advocates. 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 Scope
  • Own 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. Work directly with site development and utilities teams on data center permitting, grid interconnection, and state-level utility approvals, translating regulatory complexity into unblocked timelines.

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.

  • Comprehensive understanding of political dynamics surrounding digital infrastructure, energy, land use, water use, and technology regulations in frontier markets

  • Experience creating and delivering testimony, regulatory comments, briefing documents, or coalition communications in a fast-paced, future-facing, constantly evolving political landscape.

  • Ability to leverage strong existing relationships in relevant policy communities — committee staff or officials, regulators, industry orgs, and advocates for digital infrastructure

  • Experience translating complex ideas into straightforward, plain language understandable to diverse stakeholders that results in shifting narratives and mindsets

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

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
