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 monthly and quarterly close and the financial statements the board, auditors, and investors rely on.
Build the technical accounting positions, including revenue recognition, leases, and capitalization, for a company deploying billions in data center infrastructure.
Stand up financial reporting on new systems, including NetSuite, Zip, Shareworks, and Pigment, as the finance stack is built from the ground up.
Run the external audit and keep it clean while the business scales 10x around it.
Turn the close from a scramble into a fast, controlled process a lean team can run.
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.
You've owned the close and produced financial statements that survived audit and board scrutiny.
You've built technical accounting positions from scratch and defended them to auditors.
You've stood up or migrated a reporting stack, from ERP to close to reporting tools, and made it work.
You've run an external audit and kept it clean through a period of fast growth or added complexity.
You've compressed a close cycle and tightened controls without adding headcount to do it.
You write accounting memos clearly enough that a non-accountant executive can act on the conclusion.
Bonus: CPA. Big Four or high-growth infrastructure or hardware accounting. Data center, energy, or capital-intensive business models. NetSuite, Pigment, or similar stack implementation. IPO-readiness or public-company reporting.
We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
