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.\n\nWe'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.\n\nHow We Operate\n\nExtreme ownership. Full autonomy. Own things end to end often taking on scope outside your core role without being asked to get things done.\n\nVelocity. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.\n\nFirst principles. Challenge every assumption. Zero analogy thinking, no egos, the best idea wins.\n\nLove 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.\n\nThe Legal Team\nExamples of key problems the team is working on\n\nBuild the legal and compliance function from zero, for the largest compute buildout in history. No inherited playbook, no legacy team. The systems, standards, and team we build are the ones a company deploying gigawatts will run on for the next decade.\n\nMake legal a source of speed. We structure and close complex deals in weeks that typically take quarters. That only work when we calibrate risk from first principles of business enablement. Our job is judgment, applied fast enough that legal helps drive the deal across the finish line.\n\nCover the entire legal surface with a lean team. A small team owns everything, and much of it involves business structures the market hasn't seen before. You invent the solution with our business team.\n\nRole Scope\n\nStructure, draft, and negotiate the commercial agreements behind Fluidstack’s data center buildout, across supply chain, manufacturing, and procurement.\n\nRun complex negotiations with sophisticated counterparties end to end, balancing legal risk against the speed our business demands.\n\nManage outside counsel across substantive disciplines with rigor on scope, quality, and spend.\n\nQuarterback transactions cross-functionally with supply chain, procurement, and delivery teams so deals never stall.\n\nAdvise business leaders as a strategic partner, anticipating legal and commercial issues before they arise and having solutions ready.\n\nWhat We’re Looking For\nThe 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 .\n\nYou hold an active license to practice law in at least one jurisdiction and can meet admission requirements where you will practice.\n\nYou’ve autonomously structured, drafted, and negotiated complex commercial agreements as lead attorney, against sophisticated counterparties, in areas that map directly to data center development: supply chain, manufacturing, procurement, technology transactions, or similar.\n\nYou’ve personally made sound, commercially pragmatic calls in ambiguous, high-stakes situations, and colleagues can point to deals where your judgment changed the outcome.\n\nYou’ve overseen outside counsel across multiple disciplines and held them to a rigorous bar on scope, quality, and spend.\n\nYou write and speak clearly enough to turn a dense legal issue into a decision and a next step for an executive or a counterparty.\n\nBonus: A mix of law firm and in-house experience. Using AI to improve legal work and efficiency. In-house experience at a data center developer or cloud company.\n\nWe are committed to pay equity and transparency.\n\nFluidstack is an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer.
