Solar Lead

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.     How We Operate - High ownership.

This includes commercial relationships with solar developers, suppliers, independent power producers, and behind-the-meter generation partners across every active US data center market, from initial site engagement through executed offtake agreement. - Negotiate solar PPAs, behind-the-meter offtake agreements, and retail power arrangements with commercial counterparties, structuring terms that create fungible capacity options and running scenario analyses to extend the shelf life of existing agreements or accelerate delivery of new ones. - Shape solar energy outcomes by engaging in interconnection processes, state and federal regulatory proceedings, and policy engagements that affect behind-the-meter generation timelines and economics. - Partner with the site acquisition team to assess solar resource quality, supply chain constraints, and behind-the-meter generation potential for prospective locations before lease commitments are made. - Quarterback solar workstreams across design, construction, finance, and grid operations, and distil market, regulatory, and technology developments into clear decisions for leadership.     What We're Looking For The below is a starting point.
