Powered Land Acquisition

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. Full autonomy. 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 the frontier forward. The Development Team Examples of key problems the team is working on Find enough land to deploy multiple gigawatts a week. By 2030 we need to bring on multiple gigawatts of new capacity every week, which means securing sites at a pace and scale no one in the industry has operated at. You'll own finding and locking that land ahead of the build. Get power online in months, not years. Most of the clock runs before the lease is ever signed. You'll optimize the pre-signature work, site diligence, permitting, and development, so a site goes from signed lease to live power in under six months. Acquire 10GW behind the meter. Reaching 10GW means generating on-site instead of waiting on grid interconnection. You'll secure the land and behind-the-meter solar generation to get there. Role Scope Lead the identification, evaluation, and securing of powered land for the US data center portfolio, sourcing large industrial and raw parcels capable of hyperscale campuses. Source and assess sites, often 100+ acres, near fiber and high-voltage transmission, evaluating utility and behind-the-meter power at 200MW+ scale. Coordinate directly with utilities to secure substation capacity, transmission access, and power agreements, including powered-land structures where energy is committed before construction. Lead entitlements due diligence across zoning, rezoning, land-use permitting, environmental reviews, and water agreements, and track permitting timelines against the build schedule. Lead commercial negotiations for purchase agreements, land options, and long-term leases, and maintain broker and developer relationships so a valid site is never missed. Engage local, state, and municipal officials to secure development agreements, incentives, and community support, and own capacity forecasting across regions. 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 acquired commercial or industrial real estate, selected sites, or developed energy infrastructure, with a focus on data centers or large-scale industrial. You understand data center infrastructure requirements, high-voltage power, zoning, permitting, and land-use regulation deeply. You've closed complex, high-stakes land transactions at scale, and you think in market trends and long-term land banking. You manage relationships across brokers, landowners, developers, utilities, and government, and align diverse stakeholders in a fast-moving environment. You'll travel 20%+ as projects require.
